| Description of the problem | On 10/16/2013 the airbag light came on a few times. By 10/21/2013 the light was continuously going on and off. When checking the manual, it was suggested that it be checked by a dealership. The morning of 10/22/2013, it was brought to the original purchasing dealership. On 10/24/2013, we were told that the drivers airbag was defective but that our extended purchased warranty expired at 60,000 and it would not be replaced unless we paid $600. 00 to replace it. The airbags have never been tampered with nor has the vehicle ever been involved in an accident of any kind. They specifically state that it is defective. |
