SO FOR SOME REASON MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS. WHEN ITS ON MY HIGH BEAMS AND DONT WORK AND WHEN ITS OFF MY HIGH BEAMS WORK. THEN TODAY , MY CAR BATTERY RANDOMLY DIED ON ME TWICE. IT STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY BEFORE THEN. I THOUGHT MAYBE I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE TO DUE FOR ONE. WHEN I GOT IT THEY SAID MY OIL WAS FINE AND THEIR SYSTEM CHECKED MY BATTERY AS WORKING FINE TOO. ALSO WHEN I TRY TO STEP ON MY GAS SOMETIMES THE CAR WITH SKID BEFORE TAKING OFF. IM NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THESE ISSUES. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND IT'S FAIRLY NEW.IT HAD ONE OWNER BEFORE ME.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
