I WAS DRIVING; THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE AIR BAG SIGN SAID AIR BAGS DISENGAGED. THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN TOWN. BUT IT HAS SHUT OFF A NUMBER OF TIMES. I KEEP ONLY THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT HAS STILL DONE THAT. TO ME I THINK IF I AM DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR SOME OTHER HIGH VOLUME AND HIGH SPEED AREA AND THIS OCCURS AGAIN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT YOU WILL BE THE ONES TO BLAME.
