In owners' own words
When starting car and the seatbelt light went off, airbag light blinked off and on. Airbag may have deployed when consumer hit a bump. Also,odometer was not working at all. Hydraulic disc brakes and shoes had been changed,but consumer still hears a squeeky noise when driving or coming to a stop. Took to dealer, brakes were checked, but did not know where squeaky noise was coming from. Air bags
When the consumer arrived at the dealership to have to recall regarding the air bag performed, the dealership told the consumer it would take 2 hours as stated on the recall letter, however when the consumer did not hear back from the dealer later in the afternoon, when she called she was told no one brought the vehicle in to be looked at, and another appointment had to be made.*Mr *tt Air bags
The airbag light started flashing, when I took it to the dealer they advised me that the sensor and airbag had to be replaced. And the cost would be $750.00, The vehicle was never involved in an accident, therefore the airbag should function properly. The vehicle has less than 50,000 miles. The owners manual suggest you have the airbag serviced after 10 years. Air bags
