“Air bag light is on constantly. Unknown if this affects the airbag in terms of deployment during an accident or if malfunction is the problem”

“Thinking itâs possibly the front passenger air bag isnât working properly. The Air Bag light will go on and off for no apparent reason while someone is or isnât in the seat. Makes me scared for anyone who is to sit in the front passenger seat; knowing that thereâs possibly a danger issue.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 60 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
