-??Service safety restraint-?? light comes on and the dealership cannot pin point exactly what the issue is without taking the entire seat and air bag out. It-??s come on 3 times. First time was linked to the overhead console needing replaced. Months later the light came on again and a seat harness connection was bad. It was replaced and light was off. 8 months later the light is back on again and they replaced the connection again and the light is off for now. This is a safety issue and should be a recall!
