| Description of the problem | After picking up my vehicle from my local jeep dealer on the afternoon of thursday aug 27th, where it had been for a week for service repairs, one of which was the removal of the console to repair the emergency brake, i noticed that the light on the dashboard showing air bag deactivated was illuminated. I was out of town on vacation until this last friday sept. 4th, and i took it back to the dealer this morning, and they did find a wire that was disconnected, but there was a sensor that had failed. They refuse to own up to the fact that they did something during the emergency break repair period that deactivated the air bags and told me the $480 repair to replace the seat sensor is my responsibility. Until this problem is repaired, i cannot safely transport a passenger in that front seat, so i have at this time no choice but to have this dealer make that repair. |
