Airbag light began flashing - dealer wants over $800.00 to repair. i feel this should be covered by the manufacturer as part of the safety equipment. car was not involved in an accident or compromised in any way. in addition, i was told that the part was back ordered and probably would not be in for at least 30-45 days. what if it deploys on its own and i crash into someone else? this is a very scary situation to me and i would like some feedback or help in this matter. thank you. *ak | |||
