WE HAS OUR TRUCK IN FOR REPAIRS 5 WEEKS PRIOR DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. IT WAS REPAIRED BUT NOW THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WE BROUGHT IT BACK IN AND NOW ARE BEING TOLD THE WIRES ARE CORRODED PROPBABLY FROM MOISTURE (WE LIVE IN THE DESERT WHERE IT DOES NOT RAIN, NOR IS IT EXPOSED TO MOISTURE). THE AIRBAG HAS TO BE REPLACED AND IS COSTING US OVER $800.
