Service airbag light has come on 3X in the life of this vehicle (at 99,500 miles currently). First was for right front airbag sensor. - replaced at a cost of 300+ dollars around 65K miles. Second was seat sensor - recalibrated it, no charge. Now at 99,500 miles my left front airbag sensor is bad. - replaced it myself at a cost of $100. Airbag issues at this low of mileage is unacceptable.
