AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON DUE TO DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT HARNESS THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PORSCHE WILL NOT RECALL UNTIL IT RECEIVES A CERTAIN NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED UNTIL THEY RECALL IT? REPAIR COST I WAS QUOTED BY TWO REPAIR SHOPS WAS $500-$600 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE HARNESS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY WITHOUT HARNESS REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY PORSCHE. THIS IS REGISTERED IN MY WIFE'S NAME. *TR
