Exact date of incident not known I am third owner of car and have known the second owner the entire time of her ownership. The SRS light on the dash stays lit at all times, as does the passenger side airbag off indicator. Was wondering if this was a one incident type or if this is a trend among older E320's that are out of warranty.
