My airbag light stays on constantly passenger side. this may cause injury if in accident i've replaces several tires and recently have new ones and tire pressure goes completely flat on 2 back tires and constantly putting air in front tires.. i returned it to service station that installed tires and he said the rims are so corroded that's why i'm losing air in tires. these need replaced and are costly. i feel i may have a blowout while driving if i don't check these daily. *tr
