Description of the problem | I bought a 2003 dodge stratus on 12/29/07 from junge in center point ia. Today when i turned the wheel i heard a click sound and the airbag light came on and has stayed on. Estimates to have this fixed are $250-$350. All dealers have told me this is a safety hazard and my operator's manual concurs that my airbag may not work. Dodge headquarters will not do anything about this. To me i am unsure why turning a wheel which is necessary should compromise the airbag and safety of the vehicle.*cn |
