ALSO WHILE IN DRIVE AND THE BREAK PRESSED, THE ENGINE WILL REV ON ITS OWN LIKES ITS TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS DANGEROUS.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO RESET OR GET THE AIRBAG SENSOR TO TURN OFF. IT CAME ON FOR NO REASON, I WAS NOT IN A ACCIDENT. IT IS FAULTY. THE DEALER GAVE ME A REPAIR QUOTE THAT WAS RIDICULOUS - OVER $3000. LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM (SEE ONLINE), THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS.
