Typical airbag symptoms owners report

  • Owners report a 'service airbag' warning light turning on intermittently, sometimes clearing on its own before returning permanently.
  • Several complaints point to a faulty passenger seat occupant/presence sensor that dealers say must be replaced for the airbag to deploy correctly.
  • Some drivers say the passenger seat airbag indicator dings or alerts regardless of what is placed on the seat, leaving deployment status unclear.
  • One owner reported the driver-side airbag sensor and computer disabling the airbag system as a whole, triggering a temporary warning message.
  • A few owners mentioned confusion over whether their car was part of a Takata airbag recall after receiving a notice, though NHTSA lists no related recall for this model year.
