Description of the problem | I went to passenger side of parked vehicle, opened door, and adjusted seat position backwards slightly. The next morning i started car and after several miles of driving , the solid (non-blinking) airbag light came on. I called 2 dealers in area who told me to bring it in immediately for a $900 to $1000 repair. I had fault diagnosed by professional as a passenger side curtain airbag fault to the igniter - short to ground. I will not pay for this repair which is obviously a defective part that should be recalled. My airbag system is now deactivated. |
