| Description of the problem | My 23 year old daughter traveled with me before she was recently married. She has moved to ga but i will be moving her back home to fl when her husband is deployed. The airbag system never worked for her no matter how we made her sit in my car. She is 5'7" and weighs 130#. My dealer will not fix my air bag sensor because she is not here with me so they can see that it is not working. They told me to drive to ga and have my car fixed there after i show a dealer in ga that she activates the deactivation of the airbag. This will leave her at risk of injury when she comes home to see me. I am a former child passenger safety technician instructor and i bought this car because of the airbags. I want my system disabled so my air bag will remain on. How can i get my car fixed? Laurie |
