| Description of the problem | The airbag light came on and remained on. We took it to the dealership to have it tested. First we had to pay a fee to have the diagnostic test run. We were then informed that the sensor in the passenger seat had gone bad and the airbags would not deploy without us repairing it. The cost to repair it was $2,000 because the entire seat had to be replaced. That was two weeks ago. Now the airbag light is on again. |
