    The passenger side airbag sign keeps coming out to tell the driver the airbag is disabled sometimes when there is a person who sits on the passenger side of the vehicle. Also received a recall of months ago but the dealer keeps saying everything is fine no recall on the list. It happened since the day i purchased in 2012 and it happens very often recently.

    Takata recall: airbags deployed as car was parked in my drive way with a soft touch/contact to a trash bin. Car was not moving at a speed of no more than 3 miles per hour! At the same time the seat belt it locked in an extended position. There most definitely is a defect in this air bag at no explainable manner can this be justified at a reason to have an airbag deploy at less than 5 mile per hour!

    My check air bag light has been on and off again for months. After several visits to the dealer they determined the inflator is the issue and i need to pay for it as it is not affected by the recall. I completely disagree with this and feel it is impacted by the recall.

    It was around 30000 miles when the "check airbag system" starts flashing every now and then. Sometimes it tells me the passenger airbag is off. I don't know why and my car never got into any kind of accident nor a crash. It just keeps on blinking fluke every 2 minutes and it's really annoying. This happens every time and it doesn't matter if im moving or not.
