The warning for airbag malfunction /inoperative. Came on took into dealer they diagnosed it as bad module . They replaced it . 6mo later same issue the dealer diagnosed it as bad contacts . So the dealer cleaned them light went out for 6 mo. And came back on . I called dealer they said warranty ran out . But I could talk to district manager about issue . At which he told me I needed a new airbag which would cost out of pocket 3000 dollars . I answered that issue has been going on since it was under warranty and issue still not solved.
