| Description of the problem | I bought the car less than a year ago. The car is a 2013. The airbag light came on. I went to the dealership to have it checked. They informed me the passenger seat belt needs to be replaced. This seems ridiculous consideing the car is less than 5 years old. I ended up haigb to pay over $300 for a new passenger seat belt including installation. What would have happened had i got into an accident? Why is such a new seat belt failing? Should i worry that my driver's seat belt will fail as well? It doesn't seem this should be happening on such a new car. I am happy to provide repair receipts as requested. |
