Air bag light came on and stays on. Dealer charged $68. 00 for evaluation and advised that an air bag derm module is required to correct the defect at an additional cost of $450. 00.

Your web site says that if a safety-related defect exists in a motor vehicle, the manufacturer must fix it at no cost to the owner.
