As I was driving at 30 mph on a side street with my husband sitting in the front passenger seat (with his seatbelt on) and the emergency light went on and a message saying the passenger airbag is off came on. If would not reset and told us to call our local dealer to fix this immediately, where we had to pay for it to be fixed. There was no reason for what happened!
