Air bag warning light illuminated on dashboard, 3rd occurrence. Dealer troubleshooting indicated passenger airbag wiring harness required replacement (not related to previous lights). Out of warranty coverage by 2,269 miles. I believe manufacturer should cover this defect. Dealer informed me that if not corrected air bag might deploy inadvertently. Dealer will not disable the system or tell me how to do so. I should not have to pay for this safety related defect.
