Received a safety letter several year ago (told number was 14609), I called the dealer when I got the letter (approximately 2014) and was told since my airbag light was on even though my seat belt didn't retract properly, I was not valid for the fix. Move forward to today, my airbag light came on a couple weeks ago (intermittent at first, then steady), my seat belt hasn't retracted properly for years. I took it to a mechanic for repair and they replaced the seat belt retractor. So 2 fold, I find out the letter was just an extended warranty which I missed by date but not by miles. And everything online implies the wiring harness should have been replaced so not only am I out the money I am not sure if we solved the issue. I don't understand how y'all could have made an airbag issue just an note on the page (extended warranty which expired on me) when if my airbag doesn't work it's a safety issue which could result in my death.

After purchasing my truck the driver side air bag warning light will indicate the unit began staying on while operating the vehicle. The indication light for the passenger operate correctly when one is seated and has the seat belt connected. This problem continues to exist currently only on rare times it may go out. Dealer indicates poor wiring quality through design. The issue has been repaired several times but the light continues to remain on. Is this also a bigger part of the faulty air bags as well. Very concerned.
Battery keeps dying got a new battery and if I don't drive it one day and go out to start it its dead. And also the airbag light is on ,rough idling.
Airbag warning light came on and wont shut off. Tried a new fuse but nothing worked. Don't want to spend 100 for tech 2.
