Passenger side air bag alert comes on at irregular intervals and then goes off again. The dealer says they cannot find any problem and simply resets the codes, but that is not solving the problem. I have reported this problem at least five times, but the air bag alert is still coming on intermittently. If that alert is "on" and an accident occurs, who is responsible?

I was involved in a rear end collision near my home. The street was wet, and when I determined that I was not going to be able to stop, I applied full braking. My vehicle does have ABS, but my wheels fully locked. I rear ended a 1994 full size car at approximately 25 to 30 mph. My chief complaint is that the air bag did not deploy, and that the ABS braking was essentially non-effective. This accident was my fault, however, I did expect the safety equipment on my vehicle to work. The vehicle is currently being inspected for repair.
