Hmm, for some reason I get that light coming on every once in a while. Like, once every month or two. I just shut off the car and turn it back on.

this could mean your airbag wont' work if needed...it can be an expensive fix but for the whole safety issue you should get it checked out at a dealership...i'm of the understanding they're the only ones who can reset the light for good and will only do it if they feel the airbag sensors are working properly.

I had the same problem with mine.
First the srs-lamp sometimes was on but most times off, till one day the fat mum of my wife was sitting on the right front seat:
SRS-Lamp was permanent on.
There is a sensor in the seat.
The cable was broken.

I bought my car with the airbag light on. It was a faulty airbag sensor and ~450 to fix.

Not worth being sued over if a passenger in your car is injured due to your negligence...

I had the same problem. The dealer quoted me $450 to fix it. Instead, I looked on ebay and purchased a set of used seats that matched my leather. They were in great shape and cost me only $500 shipped. Plus, they already have the heating element in the seat so I can now add the heated option. My suggestion is that you look on ebay for another used seat. They are really easy to swap out.
