| Description of the problem | My air bag light stays on in my dash. Went to my local dealer to find out an old code b0020-13 was detected. They found everything to be fine, so they reset the code. The air bag light came back on two days later, and the same code came on again. They recommended a replacement of the side air bag module under the driver seat to repair the concern. They want to charge me $1600 for parts and labor, and what's worse, the sop part is on back order with no eta. So i asked the dealer what i am supposed to do, and if the car is safe to drive? He suggested that i shouldn't drive the car, but the part is not readily available any where in the united states? What kind of garbage is that? They offered me no solution to my problem, and i don't have another car to drive, and they can't even tell me when the part will become available???? Does this mean that this problem is a problem all across the country, because why don't they have the part available? This is a safety issue!!!! If i were to get in a accident, then the side air bag would not deploy!! |
