Consumer Description

THE AIR BAG SENSOR WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK FOR PASSENGER SEATS. PER THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE COST OF REPAIR IS 800. TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG SENSOR MODULE. THEY SAID PLACING A CELL PHONE OR LAPTOP ON THE SEAT CAUSES THE MALFUNCTION BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS POINT. I CAN'T BELIEVE PLACING AN ELECTRONIC ON A SEAT CAUSES THE MODULE TO GO BAD AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE MODULE.
