Warning Light On problems of the 2002 Chrysler Concorde

Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Chrysler Concorde. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000. Pam.

While traveling from baltimore to burlington, vt the air bag warning light came on. I called the local dealer and it took several days for an appointment. After paying a $72 fee for a diagnosis, I was told the passenger air bag was inoperative due to an "electronic" failure, but parts were not available and had to be ordered and I am still driving with an inoperative air bag that when (and if) the part arrives will cost me several hundred dollars more to fix. I contacted the Chrysler hotline and was disappointed by what seemed indifference to safety issues like this.
