NHTSA complaint #11081714, filed 2018-03, 67,000 miles“I have not gotten the recall on the airbag fixed as of this date. Dealer says there is no fix for it.

I took it to the dealer figuring it was a recall seeing as I feel it is a safety issue. I was charged $654.00 to repair it. I am thankful I was on a local street, I can only imaging what might have happened if I had been on the interstate doing 70. …”
