The Airbag Service Light comes on!
Seatbelt will not stay attached to the inner drivers side buckle. While driving if you are able to attach it and hear a click, it will randomly come undone and the seatbelt will not reattach.
Air Bag Service message comes up on the information panel with the air bag light on. Did a diagnostic check showed passenger air bag. I reached under the seat and shook the wires the light and message went off, however the diagnostic check still showed the passenger air bag system. Found recall Number 16V507000. The dealer says my VIN is not in the recall however it seems I have the same problem the recall describs.
My air bag light stays on and my abs light stays on and something with the wiring keeps ruining my battery
