THE PASSENGER 'SERVICE AIRBAG' LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. A DEALER HAS LOOKED AT IT TWICE NOW WITHOUT A SUCCESSFUL REPAIR. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 5/24. SUPPOSEDLY A POOR CONNECTION AT A SEAT CONNECTOR WAS FOUND, CODE B0021, AND WIRES WERE CUT AND SPLICED TOGETHER. 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON JUST LIKE LAST TIME. OUR CONCERN IS THAT IF WE WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY?
