Airbag warning on dash randomly activates. Vehicle was taken in for engine failure(seized crankshaft) and was repaired under warranty. Told dealership about air bag issue at this time. I was told that there was a recall on this vehicle for a computer update that I was never informed about. I got my vehicle back engine runs fine but airbag warning light has come back on again after 5 days. I am notifying dealership of issue tomorrow (7/26/18).

I was in an accident on March 12 2018 a tractor trailer sidewiped the ls of my car and destroyed the entire side. The car might be totaled. No airbags went off at all! he came into my lane at a good speed and a full load. I am lucky to be alive. I have had other problems with this car only to be ignored by the dealer. I paid cash for the car at the end of 2015 and now I have nothing. Besides being hurt.
