Each had to be replaced in order with no guarantee and no refund if replacement did not fix the problem. Dealer replaced air bag control unit for $1,442.17, which did not fix the problem. Next dealer wanted to replace occupant sensor unit (seat cushion) for $4,107.00. If this did not fix the problem, then replace wiring harness. …”
