My air bag sensor light has been on for a little over two weeks now. I was hoping the issue would correct itself and it didn't. So I brought it to a dealer yesterday. The price they quoted for parts is 913 for an osc mat and 296 for a clock assembly part. That's over 1000, not including labor. I am very upset and confused at the cost I'm being quoted to repair the matter. Just my luck of course, the warranty covering this expired about 2 mos ago, per the dealer. I really would like some feedback from the manufacturer on why the cost is so high, considering the current value of the vehicle as a whole. It's not reasonable and not economical if I have to pay for a similar issue in the future. The light stays on after I start my vehicle; typically it should flash on for a few sec immediately after starting and then turn off; but the light never turns off; the issue hasn't seemed to affect my driving; but it does concern me if I don't pay to correct the matter that the airbag may not deploy during a wreck or conversely it may deploy at a wrong time, causing unnecessary damage.

I was driving approximately 60 mph and another vehicle merged into my lane. I was unable to avoid the vehicle but turned to the right and hit their rear end with my front passenger side. I was wearing my seatbelt but my face hit the steering wheel and my knee jammed under the wheel. The impact knocked my car into neutral but no air bags deployed. The emts who responded to the accident were very surprised the air bags did not deploy and said they thought they should have. The car was bought new from the dealership in 2007 and had never been wrecked, so I don't see any reason why the air bags should have been defective.

I have driver/passenger and side airbags. I was blindsided by a Dodge dakota on the passenger side. Her vehicle slammed both of my doors on the passenger side so badly neither one would open and my daughter had to climb out of my side.

On February 19, 2013 I was in a collision I hit the car from behind and totaled the front end of my car none of the airbags deployed leaving me with neck and back injuries. I want to know why they didn't deploy and why isn't or wasn't there a recall because this is not the first reported incident of no deployment of airbags. My car is 2 years old and this is the first collision that I have ever had and for the airbags to have not deployed leaves me with a lot of concerns. My father is actually having me consider a lawsuit due to the airbags not deploying. Im hoping this will help someone else because my wreck was pretty serious and I also had my kids in the car with me at the time.
