I was driving and all of a sudden the airbag light came on. After I turned the car off and started it again the light was off. Started driving again and the light came on again and hasn't went off this time. I looked on safecar.gov website and found the problem to be a recall issue. I called the dealer and they said it didn't apply to my vehicle. Why? I need this problem fixed.
