Front passenger air bag warning light lit up during road trip to NM. (1400 miles) warning bell sounded. We were very concerned airbag would explode at any minute. This was second time airbag light went off. First time was a loose sensor over drivers head. This time we repaired airbag in passenger seat at cost of $1800!. Now light is on again! This must be defective and needs a recall.

WHY IS NHTSA ALLOWING SALE OF MILLIONS OF DANGEROUS UNFIXABLE AIRBAG RECALLED SUVS TO BE DRIVEN WHEN THE CONSEQUENCE IS DEATH BY AN ALLOWED LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IN A MAJORITY OF CARS ON THE ROAD. WHY IS THERE NO PROTECTION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE HERE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS OR ISN'T ALLOWED. EVERY CAR WITH THIS RECALL IS A DEADLY RISK AND NHTSA IS NOT GETTING DEALERS TO STOP SELLING SUCH VEHICLES NOR ARE THEY INVESTIGATING THE MANY DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE HIDING THE ISSUES BY SAYING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LIES IN THE DESCRIPTION AND HIDING IT IN THE CARFAX BUT KEEPING IT IN THE VIN CHECK. NHTSA HAS A DUTY TO PROTECT US ALL ESPECUU ITI ALLY NOW I'M THUS RARE INSTANCE WHERE EVERY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IS A DEATH SENTENCE BY THE VERY SAFETY DEVICE MEANT TO PROTECT , THE AIRBAGS, WHICH IS ONE THING IF DOES NOT INFLATE, BUT IS WORSE THAT IT SHOOTS METAL SHRAPNEL WHEN AIRBAG EXPLODES INSTEAD OF INFLATED AND HAS ALREADY INJURED AND KILLED 19 PEOPLE AND NO WAY TO PREVENT EXPLOSION SINCE NO REMEDY BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, IS IT NOT BETTER TO DEACTIVATE THE POSSIBILITY OF IT EXPLODING INSTEAD OF ALLOWING IT TO BE SOLD AND HARM PEOPLE? THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY ALL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT T RELATED TO VEHICLES DMV, DOT, HEALTH AND SAFETY AND FBI, BECAUSE IT IS SHOCKING THAT IT HAS GOTTEN THUS FAR ALONG WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION EXCEPT IT'S ANNOUNCEMENT THUS FAR PUTTING MILLIONS AT RISK. I THINK SOMEONE IS GETTING PAID OFF UNDER THE RUG FOR IT TO BE SUCH A HIDDEN DILEMMA. PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE OF CONCERN OUT TO ALL INVESTIGATIVE ENTITIES TO GET OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES PROTECTED. I HAD TO USE A VIN FROM A VEHICLE IF INTEREST FROM A SAMPLE CAR DEALERSHIP FOR THIS COMPLAINT OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE NEGLECTED FURTHER. EMAIL: [XXX].REGARDING MY CONCERNS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE.
