The air bag light goes on and off periodically. There was concern that the air bag would not deploy when needed or, conversely, it would deploy without any warning. Took it to the dealer, he indicated that a spring needed to be replaced. As I was looking into recalls for this problem, I noticed that, although there was no recall, there were plenty of complaints. Why is this defect allowed to coninue to give consumers problems, but there is no action from the manufacturer to fix via a recall?

The air bag light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic informed consumer that a recall was not for this vehicle. The consumer would have to pay for parts and labor. The consumer stated that the recall dealt with the same problem she was having with her vehicle.

While driving at any speed air bag light stayed on. Dealer examined the vehicle, and found that the clockspring was defective. Clockspring was replaced four times. Also, dashboard lights and headlights came and off whenever they wanted to.
