| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact wanted to use the email that he sent to the hotline for his complaint. "the documented issue occurred when my car turned 8 or 9 years old (2006 mercedes benz e500 in mint condition with 82,000 miles) with the airbag lights intermittedly comes on. Now, it is on nearly every time i drive the car. The dealer diagnosed the problem to be that of a weight sensor, and said whenever the light is on, all airbags are turned off and will not deploy. Now it is nearing 10 years old and am still trying to get the dealership to repair it under the 10 year warranty ($850 to $1000) as your agency has defined, " |
