DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, DEALER SAYS IT'S THE WIRING IN STEERING COLUMN OR THE CONTROL MODULE AND WANTS ABOUT $1100 TO FIX. JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME ON WITH NO OTHER EVENT HAPPENING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FOR THE PAST YEAR, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO, THE 'PULL OVER AND READ SERVICE MANUAL' AND 'FRONT AIR BAG REQUIRES SERVICE' MESSAGES APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MERCEDES-BENZ OF LITTLETON, 8070 S BROADWAY, LITTLETON, CO 80122) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT TO "IGNORE THE MESSAGES" AND "THAT IT HAPPENS TO ALL MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES'. THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A CALL BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.
I WAS IN A COLLISION IN WHICH I REAR ENDED ANOTHER SUV. THE SPEED CONTROL DID NOT ENABLE AND I HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE $20,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR. I BELIEVE THE CAR BRAKING RESPONSE WAS SLOW AND THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN A CRASH THAT SIGNIFICANT, BUT IT DID NOT.
