Not yet. I have to go back next week so they can replace that oil sensor, so I will mention it then. The trucks still under warrenty, so I have no problem bringing it back as many times as it needs to be. It just kinda sucks because when you spend that kinda money for a vehicle, you expect everything to be perfect. Oh well, what can you do?

I have been having the exact problem with my 05. Along with that the seat belt light came on and is staying on. Blinking the whole time. I disabled the chime so I atleast dont have to listen to that everysingle day for my entire trip.

I read that if there is a malfunction with the airbag system then it will set off the light and chime for the seat belt and it won't go off until the air bag malunction is fixed. Can you read an air bag code with a regular scan tool(actron pocket scan)? Is this a dealer only repair or is there some way to figure out the malfunction and tackle it myself?

You're in Stroudsburg? Nice, I live in up in the Tobyhanna, Mt. Pocono area.

Do you remeber the cost of this. My warranty is out. Also do you know the part # or anything. Maybe find one on ebay or something.

Since this is a safety related issue, it should be at no charge. Right? Maybe one of the dealership Gurus will chime with some accurate information.

Why do we need all this computerized crap any way. The old pliers and screw driver vehicles were a lot less hassle

I agree with faulty passenger seat sensor. Mine does it intermittently too. But never while someone is in the passenger seat.
