| Description of the problem | Dash lights and back up lights stopped working completely airbag error light sometimes its on , sometimes not. Attempted to purchase rebuilt body control module, but was informed it is illegal to sell one. When you cannot repair or replace a part, it seems like the manufacturer should be obligated to recall and replace this part when defective, which, investigation shows to be common problem. I cannot pass inspection with inoperable back up lights and if airbag light is on, but cannot buy replacement part. It sucks to own a disposable vehicle. |
