| Description of the problem | Sept 2019 recall for airbag connector and wiring. Repaired in oct. Safety bag warning light came on again for the same seat, they say now it is sensor not the recall item. There are 75 other complaints about this. Seems like recall should have replaced sensor as well. Now it costs $1300 to fix sensor which should have been done at the time or at least offered to replace when tehey had the recall seat torn apart to save $1k in labor. |
