I also got a separate letter that said if repairs were done to fix this problem, you could seek reimbursement. Well, I took my car in a few months back when the passenger restraint warning came on, and they made me change my BST cable which cost me $400. My complaint was the restraint failure, and their solution was the cable. But, the airbag light in my car still comes on and off all the time. Do you all think I can get this reimbursed?
