    THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE AIRBAG MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED.THE FIRST TWO TIMES WERE UNDER WARRANTY AND WERE DEFECTS, NOW THAT I AM AT 110000 KM I AM TOLD IT IS NOT A DEFECT AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THEREFORE HOW IS IT THAT THE AIRBAG MODULES KEEP HAVING A PROBLEM?
