    My vehicle's airbag light has been coming on and off since july 2014. Until recently (end of november 2014), i had no idea about the manufacturer's recall.

    This vehicle was purchased used- how do i know it wasn't originally from a "known humid state"? And what about cars that might have been exposed to superstorm sandy? This sounds like general motors and toyota when they claimed "driver error". If humidity is a factor, it's a factor- is honda saying we don't get humidity in new york? *tr
