| Description of the problem | The airbag light came on shortly after i purchased my car. I took it in and they sent the seat off to be re-calibrated. This happened about ever 2-3 months until january 2012 and it did not come back on until august 2012 but during this month i took it back a total of 8 times because the airbag light kept coming back on! The last time they fixed it was in october 2012 and i was informed that because it was past warranty they would no longer fix it for "free" and suggested i purchase one of their new cars. I am a widow and cannot afford to get a new car. In december 2012 the airbag light came on again and has remained on ever since. |
