WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED -1ST TIME WAS WHEN MY CAR WAS JUST AROUND 50K MILES--AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON--WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO HAVING TO REPLACE HARNESS GETTING CRIMPED-CAUSED A SHORT(THIS WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY). MY CAR NOW HIT AROUND 110K MILES AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT IN AND STATED SAME THING--EXPLAINED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AGAIN--LISTED HAS HAVING A SHORT AND REPAIRED. WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAD TO DO WITH AIRBAG AND WAS CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND THAT COVERED THE COST OF FIXING THE AIR BAG SENSOR SHORT AGAIN. MY PROBLEM IS IF CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM OF WHERE THIS HARNESS IS LOCATED AND IT KEEPS ON GETTING "CRIMPED" AND CAUSING A SHORT SHOULD THIS NOT BE LOOKED AT AND BE FIXED?
