Consumer Description

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BOTTOM HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER WHEN AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ILLUMINATED. THERE HAS BEEN NO ALTERATION OF THE SEATS OR INVOLVEMENT IN ANY SITUATION THAT WOULD CAUSE DAMAGE, SO IT SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS REQUIRES A $1350 REPAIR.
