Airbag light came on and flashed and stayed on. Vehicle taken to dealership, and replaced. I was told that the airbag module had an internally open circuit and causing dtc. They replaced the airbag at the cost of $445. There was no tampering on my part, obviously there is a defect so why do I the consumer have to pay for it? this is a huge safety concern, I am a paramedic/ lt and know how well airbags work. Just thought you should check into this matter and hopefully no one will be injured because of others who have not reported this to you.
