My airbag light is going on and off randomly while I am driving. If I am on a highway for a distance the light will go off until I brake or hit a small bump then it will ding and come on again. When driving on city streets it will go off and on quite a bit.
This is my second complaint to you in regards to a faulty airbag that was installed at your yorkville, ny carbone location. On december 28 ,2018 I went into the yorkville, ny location to have an airbag recall taken care of. Then I had to return to carbone in yorkville, ny on december 30 , 2019 because my airbag light was on. They charged me $107.66 to diagnose the issue and were going to charge me an additional $438.50 for a faulty airbag that they installed, stating this was my problem not there problem. How is this my problem when it was an airbag they fixed and now my airbag light is on due to a faulty airbag they repaired that I had no previous problems with before the recall. I then had to take my car to maugeri's in utica, ny for them to fix this faulty airbag. Parts were $150.00 and labor was $82.50 which is a total of $232.50. I would like to be reimbursed by carbone the total of $232.50 to fix the repair at my mechanics and the diagnosis fee at carbone's which brings it to the total of $340.16. Again this was a faulty airbag that carbone in yorkville , ny. They need to be held accountable to installing a faulty airbag and not taking responsibility for fixing it for free. Again I would like to be reimbursed my $340.16 for a faulty airbag recall that I had to fix myself. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On december 28, 2018 I went to carbone dodge in yorkville ny for them to fix an airbag recall. Then on december 30, 2019 I had to return to carbon dodge because the my airbag light came on in my car. Now this is a faulty airbag that they replaced on my car an charged me $107.66 to diagnosis the issue and were going to charge me an additional $438.50 to fix a faulty part that they originally replaced again due to a recall order. Now I have to take it to my mechanic to fix an issue that carbone dodge should be liable for. I would like carbone dodge to be held accountable for the faulty airbag that they installed and I would like to be reimbursed the $107.66 that they charged me for the diagnosis and all the additional charges that I had to pay to my mechanic. Thanks
