| Description of the problem | On march 3, 2009, my airbag light came on. When i slowed to make a turn, it would ding at me and go off and then on. When i'm drove normally, and usually straight, the light just stayed on with no ding. Through research, i've come to find that my clockspring was faulty and may not deploy my airbag if i were to get into an accident. I had this fixed through chrysler. They said it was not covered under any warranty. Now, on jan. 15, 2011 with 103,769 miles, the airbag light came back on and did the same thing as previously. I went back to the same dealer to have them check it out, only for them to tell me, again, it is not covered under any warranty and that i have to pay to have it replaced again. Considering this is a safety issue, i was surprised to find i had to pay both times. If i didn't get this fixed, and i got into an accident, my airbag may not deploy. Completely unacceptable. |
