| Description of the problem | We took our vehicle to gary rome holyoke for routine service and complaint of a air bag warning light on. We were told that it was a unit underneath the seat that was bad. They got the light to go off and we were told to sell or trade the car before the light came back on. We were told we were out of warranty,by less than 1000 miles and to replace this part would be in the $2000-$3000 range. They also said it was the side airbags and they were having problems with this part on other models as well. My wife was told the same by the manufacturer when she called. |
