The car speed was less than 10 mph turning a corner on a residential street. There was absolutely no damage at all to the car. Not a nick or a scratch. The dirt didn't even move on the car.

My airbag lights literally go on and off multiple times while i'm driving. I am not sure what brand air bags are in my car, they could be the takata recalled part, but not sure. Whenever i have something in the front seat, or a person is sitting in the front seat the airbag lights on the dash come on. They will come on and go off while i am driving. This happens on the street, highway, anytime.

Passenger airbag never detects when my son or another preteen close to his age is sitting in the seat. It always turns off/ deactivates. If there was an accident the airbag would not deploy and provide safety for my child or his cousins when inside my vehicle.
