problem #1

Oct 032006

Boxster 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,800 miles
: the contact stated each time the engine was started or while driving various speeds, the airbag light illuminated. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined while the airbag light was illuminated, the airbags would not deploy in the event of a crash. Also, the dealer determined the front passenger side seat needed to be adjusted forward so the airbag light would not illuminate. After the contact adjusted the seat as instructed by the dealer, the problem persisted. The manufacturer was not alerted. Updated 10/31/2006 - the air bag light illuminated although there was a passenger in the seat. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer three times for the same failure but problem still exist.
