My red air bag notification on my dashboard stays on. Was told this means no air bag coverage. Also that it is not operating properly. I am driving this but only because dealership said i would need too pay for inspection to see what the problem is then pay to have it fixed.

I went directly to the dealership and had the recall performed. A few days later, the eps light came back on.…
