Took my car into the dealership and was told they cannot fix my problem due to the fact Mitsubishi stopped manufacturing the part needed. The car is only eight years old! yes they discontinued this model but the parts" this is ridiculous, my air bag sensor is disabled and turned off which is a safety issue! I cannot fix it and I wonder if I can even sell it due to the fact it has no working air bags. How can they get away with this" I thought the NHTSA was a place where consumers of cars sold in this country could go to help remedy these kind of problems.

SRS warning light is on and Mitsubishi told me they can't repair this since they stopped making the part affected. It needs a new sensor which controls the air bags and seat belt assembly. I was told if in an accident the air bags may not deploy or even accidentally deploy in a no accident scenario. The car is only eight years old and they stopped making the part? this definitely compromises safety!
