Ignition was replaced under recall and now the passenger air bag light is on and will not go out and passenger side airbag is inop. Abs ecm failed and replacement cost was $1300. 00 this is a known issue and should be investigated. Thank you pamela heos.

In 2019 I took my car in for a recall I had received. It was for the pps. Instead of replacing the faulty system, they simply put a "reinforcement" piece of tape over the faulty system. I rarely drive the car and I rarely have passengers. 2 years and almost 5k miles later, now the faulty system is broken. The sensor in the seat has failed. No surprise there. The dealership is trying to charge me $1400 to replace the faulty sensor that should have been replaced 2 years ago. This is causing anyone who possible is a passenger in my car to be at risk, since now that the sensor is broken, the air bag will not deploy. Other people with this car have had or are having the same issue. I do not understand why a tape fix was approved and implemented for something so serious as the safety of my passengers.

Passenger air bag recall 17036 issue after the temporary fix with the same issue but the $1200 module kit needing to be replaced. This issue is for the passengers being at risk when riding in the car. A complete fix of the recall should be completed not a temporary fix. It shouldn't cost the car owner an extreme cost of $1200 for something that should have been fixed in the recall.

Passenger side seat air bag suppression module needs service. Dealership says that it will be $1200 for the repair, but I found a recall (17v061000) for the same problem, but when I enter my VIN, it doesn't say my vehicle was included. They said neither air bag will function if this service light comes on. This vehicle is stored all winter. When we uncovered it this spring, the light was on.

Takata recall. . . I am still waiting. According to the dealership, the parts have not been received yet. I received another notice for the recall on 3/09/2018.

Yearly, I try to get my airbag recall completed and no dealership can support my request.

Air bag service light comes on when you start the car. Dealer says $1000. 00 to fix.

I was turning into my subdivision and as I entered a curve in the road my hand hit the key fob and the ignition turned off. I stopped as quick as possible and put the car in park and restarted the engine. Immediately the check engine and have air bags serviced lights came on and stayed on. I recently had the ignition replaced under recall but the lights stayed on.
