| Description of the problem | `driving from a customer business my red light for supplemental air bag came on . I took the car to the local dealer and they diagnosed and ordered a air bag module. When part came in on april 13th 2015 with miles of 11276 dealer rep said that the module did not turn red light off. Service ordered a driver air bag module and installed this on miles 11738, april 17th,2015, red light still on. Informed me there is only one more part they can put on it is called a new cable.. Car is new and under warranty, book says if light is red that the air bags will not deploy, called service on afternoon of april 17th and suggested they give a loaner to me if this car was not safe to drive . Service said it was safe, just that the light is on. I drive 100- 300 miles a day in this car and if the red light is on the service manual says this is dangerous, however the dealer refuses to offer a loaner car, service rep said the air bags would still work and that the light just will not go off. I have taken this car in three times in three weeks and the light is still red.. I am to take this back next week to have a cable installed as per invoice.. |
