In 06/03 the air bag warning light illuminated again. Consumer was very concerned about the integrity of the vehicle's air bag system. On three separate occasions the SRS light had come. The dealer stated it was defective and replaced it. While the vehicle was in motion, the passenger side SRS and head protection airbag deployed due to the crash sensor being triggered and caused debris to fill the cabin, the first time the SRS light had come on the dealer suggested the seat belt had a faulty latch, and the second time they claimed there was a short.
