Hi Guys,

Hmm, try a search on the board. This issue has been pulled up before I think.

I had that but as I posted before I don't know exactly what they did to fix it. I know they replaced the ignition switch, but I had also asked them fix an occasional starting problem where the engine would just click or on rare occasions continue the starting turnover sequence forever without firing up.

But anyway don't let your dealer get away with not fixing it - it is definitely fixable. Mine hasn't had a problem since.

Does anybody know if the airbag light affects the airbag deploying during a crash? Or does it need to be decoded or something?

If the light is on the AB are not working according to all I have read.
