| Description of the problem | Swerved car to avoid hitting a deer. When i straightened out the car the air bag light was on. Took car to the dealer who said i needed to install a whole passenger seat. Approx $1500-2000 dollars. When checking out different websites there are many many complaints about air bag lights going on. All were told seats needed to be replaced. This car has on 25000 miles now. As i only use the car when i am by myself for fear of the passenger airbag not going off. Can't even sell the car with this problem. |
