| Description of the problem | On day the air bag warning light came on on the vehicle and has never gone off. The dealer told me that the air bag control module had failed. The dealer told me the repair would cost $450!. I could not afford to spend that much money to have it fixed. I have already spent over $3000 on repairs for this vehicle and i cannot afford to put any more money it to. From the number of air bag complaints i have seen i think there should be a recall issued. |
