Seat belt light won't turn off
Takata recall i was in a wreck hit a car from behind and airbag did not deploy but was also sent a letter in the mail stating that the air bag was recalled due to shards of metal coming out when the air bag does deploy ....
While driving on a two lane highway, at highway speeds, the driver side,side airbag (the driver seat) deployed for no reason. it frightened me and caused me to swerve into the oncoming traffic lane, fortunately no cars were around me at the time and i was able to pull over and regain my composure. i shiver when i think of how badly this might have gone if opposing traffic was there at the time! a day later my left arm still hurts from deployment. my granddaughter was in the car with me at the time of incident.
My 2004 element light came on while driving one day. i had it serviced by a mechanic with set belt replacement. did not help with the light came back on. had it looked at by someone else who told me it was the airbag sensors. i really don"t want to keep spending money but it failed inspection because of this along with my driver side seat that is rocking. driving and coming to a stop with any type of force causes the seat to jump forward. even if i am sitting and if i move around my seat will move. is there any type of permanent fixes for these problems. our daughter loves her element but, these are major issues for our family as they are and can have serious problems now and in the future
