Consumer Description

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS TURNED ON FOR THE SECOND TIME, REDERING THE AIRBAGS USELESS. I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED ONCE WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND I NEVER HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE SENSOR TO TRIGGER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY PART THAT HAS PROBLEMS WITH RELIABILITY NOW AND THE BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS NOW 3 MONTHS OR 4,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THE BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY NOW. I HAVE DONE NOTHING OUTSIDE THE REALM OF NORMAL DRIVING. WHEN THE PARTS WERE REPLACED THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE OLD PARTS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THIS ONE IN YET AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. *TR
