| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The air bag light turned on so i took it in to mack massey jeep dealership on 950 crockett st. In el paso, tx. The person advising me from the mechanics department told me i was very lucky to take it in when i did because some part having to do with the air bags had melted & my airbags could have opened up at any time. He said he deactivated all the airbags in my vehicle. The total to have them fixed was way more than i can afford. It also affected the center seat belt so i don't have a seat belt as well. I don't think any part of the original parts should be melting with nothing more than the sun heat. |
