It is potentially dangerous as your engine will eventually get damaged while you are driving and cause a terrible accident.

I believe it's the high pressure fuel pump as countless others have had the same issue with their vehicle.
Air Bags · at 32,659 miles · reported Apr 1, 2020
Vehicle was stolen in florida I purchased it after being fixed and they stated that there where electrical issues after starting the vehicle and lights pertaining to airbags would flash. Afraid bags would go off while driving and cause accident.
