I RECENTLY HAD MY AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER PAID 115.00 FOR A SRS DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY SIGNAL. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE PASSENGER OUTER AND INNER WEIGHT SENSOR AT A WHOPPING COST OF NEARLY 900.00 THIS MANUFACTURING SAFETY FAILURE IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
