| Description of the problem | My car air bag light came on while i was driving but i didnt think much about it, i drove it like that for a couple months, my husband told me to take it to the dealer to get checked out, first dealer told me the cost was going to be 1600. 00 and they quoted me the part was going to cost 1200. 00, i refused to pay that much and we were able to get the price lowered to 900. 00 but they couldn't fix it because the part was on back order, so they reset the air bag when i left the dealer the airbag light was off, the next day the light came back on, a few days later i took it to another dealer to see what they would say, first day they reset the airbag light i asked if the airbag is activated they said they did not know, i said well its still a safety issue, i asked how can the airbag be deployable then, he said we will need to change out the airbag, so they ordered the airbag and eventually replaced it, i asked what if the light comes on again he said then we will have to see whats next on the list of parts to replace, so in other words it just change out parts by trial and error, i drove off and the following day while i was driving the airbag light came on again and unfortunately i am driving my car with out a activated airbag, i am afraid to take it to the dealer again because of the cost and trial by error them not knowing how to pin point the problem, currently the airbag light stays on and i was told by the dealer that my air bag is not activated while that light is on. |
