ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. THEY WERE REPLACED IN 2008 BY THE DEALER. WELL, AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR IS ON AGAIN. IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE HEATED SEATS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND AIR BAG INDICATOR. IF I TURN THE HEATED SEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE ON, THE VIEW MINUTES LATER THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR GOES OFF. ONCE I TURN OFF THE HEATED SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES BACK ON. IT PRETTY STUPID TO RUN THE HEATED SEAT IN THE SUMMER TIME, BUT THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK UNLESS I USE THE HEATED SEAT. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ON THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY ENDS UP KILLED BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAGS, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. I AM ALSO AFRAID THAT CONSTANT CONTINUED USE OF THE HEATED SEAT WILL CAUSE A FIRE. *JS
