Okay, Larry.... a "glitch" in the new Tit.S. Been living with it for a week and it hasn't cleared.. headed to dealer now, 45 minutes of sitting while they PIWIS I'd guess... I had no battery, electrical or other issues.. fault just came on when I started her up.. will it just reset or is this a real problem? Any of you had a "real" airbag problem? And with the fault indicator on permanently like a ! during towing... if I were to have an accident would the computer prevent it from deploying (trivia question for the Cayenne elite knowledge base)?

really havent seen 2 many 06s with airbag issues........ most likey something related to aws (airbag weight sensing) for the pass side airbag, probaly not a real issues most likely a miscalibration.
I havent crashed a cayenne with the light on to see if they would still deploy but I have to belive that in an accident if it feels it needs to deply it will deploy the air bag unless theres a fault that could hinder operation or saftey or cause a misdeploy

Hm, let me resend it right now.
MF, sorry to hear that your Tit.S are deflating. Maybe switch from silicone to saline and next time try going through the navel as opposed to the armpit? :-D
My lumbar support in driver's seat was fixed, lasted a week and failed again.

Madfox,
If I am not mistaken, the airbags are currently under a defect investigation by the NHTSA:
More info here: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...&model=CAYENNE S&model_yr=2003
Maybe your vehicle slipped through...????

Apparently the NHTSA isn't convinced of this because they opened the investigation in 3/2006. Hopefully, it is only a issue that was contained within the 03-04 model year.

And enigmanwmn... I thought it was "the older the Tit.S model gets --- the bigger they get" .... age related deflation is only achieved with technical service related operations!!
