| Description of the problem | I have a current recall for a defective airbag in my 2007 jeep wrangler. The airbag is currently not operational. Every 1-2 minutes while drive the airbag light will come on and ding. This is a serious safety issue and it makes the vehicle incredibly annoying to drive. A local repair shop diagnosed the error codes and they said the problem is related to the following recall and i should take it to a dealer to be fixed. Manufacturer recall number: s33 nhtsa recall number: 16v-290 i waited for the first available appointment and took my vehicle to autonation arapahoe jeep in centennial, colorado today. They said it will be a year and a half or more before the part is in stock. They will not be able to fix the issue until then. This is completely unacceptable to have the manufacturer acknowledge a defective airbag and i have to wait a year and a half to get it fixed. Sadly, i don't know what recourse i have to get it fixed. Aside from paying $500 out of pocket to have the local auto repair shop fix it. Which is what they quoted me for. And said they could the part in stock to repair in 2 days. |
