WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOOSES POWER STEERING, HAS RPM'S BUT NO TRANSMISSION, HAVE TO PULL OFF ROAD SHUT VEHICLE OFF TO RESET. CONDITION HAPPENS MORE OFTEN AS TIME GOES ON

Airbags
Reports naming the air-bag system — deployment behaviour, inflators, sensors and warning lights.
From owner reports, verbatim
THE AIRBAG FAULT CODE KEEPS POPPING UP ON THE DASH BOARD. WHEN THE CODE IS READ, IT SAYS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENOR HAS A FAULT. SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAS THE SAME FAULT AND THE RECALL EXPLAINS MY EXACT PROBLEM OF MY CAR. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY JUST TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM OF MY CAR WAS. THEN PAY EVEN MORE TO HAVE THE CAR FIX. BECAUSE THE RECALL DOESN'T COVER MY CAR. EVEN IF IT SHOWING THE SAME ISSUE. THE REASON I HAVE FOUND OUT TO BE THE PROBLEM, WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR. THE FAULT CODE DOESN'T POP UP TILL THE WIFE SITS IN THE SEAT. THEN THE LIGHT IS POPPING UP EVERY 3 TO 5 MINUTES. IT ALMOST LIKE A LOSE WIRE BUT I HAVE TRY TO MOVE ALL WIRES AND CHECK THE SENOR AND CAN NEVER GET IT TO FAULT TILL SOMEONE SIT IN THE SEAT. THEN THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG INDICATOR SAYS THE AIRBAG IS OFF AND NOT ON. I AM WORRY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND I LOVE THE CAR. BUT DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM IN HARM WAY. ALSO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, IT ASK FOR A DATE. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY!
