NHTSA complaint #10227966, filed 2008-05, 300 miles“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. …”
