“My car has 76,000 miles on it and the error popped up on the main screen of passenger restraint system malfunction. It advised me to take the car to a service center which I did.

They quoted me $2,500 to fix the issue and I asked them if this was because of damage or abuse by the owner and they said no it just a part that failed. …”
