| Description of the problem | I got in my car after driving it to the park & got a fault that said restraint system malfunction. Fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt- force limiter. I researched this & found that it is a problem with the sensor in the passenger seat mat. I found that this is a recall on my car & year, but when i call, they say it doesn't apply to my vin. This has been a huge problem with a ton of owners. I've also read that most of the people call & complain & they'll end up fixing it under the recall. But, i'm having no luck. I'd understand if it was just me, but they've recalled it on the sane exact car & year as mine & i don't understand why mine wouldn't fall under this recall! |
