Auto purchased new, never in an accident or damaged. Airbag light on, dealership replaced sensor free, replaced component at a cost to me for 300.00, airbag light still on. They now say the harness needs to be replaced at a cost to me of 300.00. Why is this not a manufacturing problem? No one can answer why i must pay to have this defect fixed. *tr
