| 2009 | AIR BAGS | THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS NOTHING SPECIFIC THAT DOES IT. I COULD BE GOING 10MPH OR 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JUST ALL OF THE SUDDEN COMES ON. IT IS ON ANYWHERE FROM 5-30 SECONDS EACH TIME AND THEN GOES OFF AND THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY. UNABLE TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG BECAUSE IF ITS NOT ON WHEN ITS BROUGHT IN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR |
