| Description of the problem | My air bag lite is on, when i took it to the dealer, they wanted me to pay for a air bag replacement which is over $1000. I asked if there was a recall since i knew of others having the same problem, and was told none that they knew of, so i stated i would wait for one (recall), since i didn't have the funds. They didn't seem to concern, with this being a safety issue. The other person who had the same identical problem choose to borrow the money for her repair. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. As a safety issue this needs to be addressed. Also she stated she knew someone with the same problem, it apparantly must be a problem, so far from a short conversation with one person that was three cars with the same issue, that i know of, it must be others?? |
