BEEN EXPERIENCING A 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' ACROSS MY INFO SCREEN ALONG WITH AN ANNOYING TONE. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, PARKED, AS WELL AS ALL FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS. TODAY WAS THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY I HAD TO GET THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. FOUND THAT THE AIRBAG IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAS A FAULTY CIRCUIT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE & SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG EVEN IF SOMEBODY IS RIDING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE THINKS NOBODY IS THERE THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL FOR THE PASSENGER DURING A CRASH I FOUND THIS OUT WHEN A PASSENGER UNBUCKLED THE SEAT BELT (THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY) THE CHIME/ LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE IN THE SEAT PAD SENSOR MUST BE FAULTY I'VE REACHED OUT TO RAM THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF REPAIRING THE FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

I HAVE A WARNING LIGHT LIT UP FOR THE AIR BAGS AND THE MESSAGE ON THE SAVED MESSAGES SAYS SERVICE AIR BAGS. THE AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED FOR ANY REASON. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK FOR THE FIRST TIME IT WASN'T MOVING WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON.

MY VEHICLE IS PROMPTING A WARNING SIGN ON THE DASH SCREEN STATING "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM". SINCE IT STARTED, THE SCREEN ON MY DASH STARTED GLITCHING A FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING, THEN IT'LL PROMPT THE WARNING STATEMENT AGAIN. NOT SURE IF RELATED, BUT EVER SINCE THAT HAPPENED, ANOTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT STARTED ACTING UP SUCH AS MY AIR CONDITIONING AND TPMS LIGHT. THE A/C COMES ON AND OFF WHEN TURNED USING THE COLD. HOWEVER, IF HEAT IS USED, IT SEEMS WORK FINE. THE TPMS I'M NOT SURE IF RELATED, BUT I KNOW ALL THESE SYMPTOMS FOLLOWED AFTER THE AIR BAG WARNING STARTED. I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE A FEW MONTH'S BACK WHEN I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT. A WEEK AFTER, THE A/C STARTED ACTING UP. I'M APPALLED TO FIND OUT THAT THIS WASN'T A PART OF THE AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. I'VE LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES. SO FAR, I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE AN INCIDENT YET, BUT I'M ALSO TERRIFIED THERE MIGHT BE ONE IN THE FUTURE. ANY HELP FROM THE NHTSA WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

I BUY THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER POST TO BE FIXED BUT I HAD TO WAIT 3 WEEKS TO DO THE REPAIR AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON ON AIR BAG SYSTEM. SINCE WE BUY THE TRUCK IT WAS LIKE THAT. *TR
