I was stopped at a traffic light when the for no apparent reason the seatbelt pretensioners deployed. The car was returned about one year before to the dealer for a recall to address a problem with the airbag control module that, if not corrected, could cause the airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy.

It is apparent that there are enough of the replacement systems to install in new cars, yet there is a continuous delay in repairing the older autos now on the road. Attrition is not a fix, and the value of my car is down with the…
