| Description of the problem | Started engine in order to pull out of parking space. All red lights on dashboard lit up, ac failed to start blowing cold air, "park (p)" lit although gear was in "drive (d)" mode. Immediately turned engine off. Repeated procedure for two more times. Eventually ac kicked in, "d" lit up and all but air bag light went off. Passengers seat belt light kept and keeps flashing continuously and driver's side air bag light stays on. Called dealer from where vehicle was purchased and was told repair should fall under warranty and any dealer can take care of my issue. Stopped by at dealership close to home and was told that diagnostic test needs to be performed to determine if this repair will fall under warranty. Second dealership requested that i leave the car with them an entire day for diagnostic tests, which will cost me about $90 (+) in order to determine if this is a warranty issue or not. *jb |
