| Description of the problem | Vehicle airbag warning light came on for passenger side. Dash message said airbag off even though passenger was in the seat. Car was taken to dealer who said "the computer got confused, probably because weight exceeding trigger threshold was removed from seat & replaced while car was running". Computer needed to be "re-calibrated". I was charged $95 labor to re-calibrate. In my opinion for the computer to disable the airbag because something was moved in or out of the seat is a serious safety concern. If there is proper weight, the bag should be on, otherwise off, but not disabled requiring a trip to the dealer to fix and an exorbitant labor charge to fix. |
