MY PASSENGER SIDE ROTOR LOCKED UP FOR NO REASON 2 DIFF. SHOPS COULDN'T FIND A REASON.

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND A BELL RINGS ABOUT THREE TIMES AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AS LONG AS DRIVE THE CAR, IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. SOMETIMES THINKING WOULD IT GO OFF AND MAKE ME HAVE AN ACCIDENT. IF AFRAID TO EVEN LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2008 SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER EVER TOOK IT FOR THE RECALL. I WAS LOOKING IN THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT IN 2007 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AIR BAGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHICH IT IS EXACTLY WHERE IT IS HAPPENING IN MY VEHICLE RECALL 07V146000. I'M HAVING THIS PROBLEM CONSTANTLY. PLACE ADVISE ME IN WHAT TO DO BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY. MY NAME IS [XXX]. IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MY OFTEN. AM I STILL ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. A MECHANIC PUT A CODE MACHINE AND TOLD ME THAT IT COMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT.
