| Description of the problem | I took my car to get checked after a air bag light came on at the dealership. After their diagnostic they want to charge me $2500 to fix a seat belt buckle and a sensor under the occupant seat. I have had this car under a year and do not have the type of income to correct this asap. The light is keeping me from getting my car inspected which in the long run can cost me my job. I called the phone number here provided here to be told 61 cases have been reported with the same complaint. This needs to be recalled. This is the second problem i have had with this car,the first being a recall on the coil springs. I was driving when this light came on. |
