Consumer Description

THE AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *AK THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THE CONSUMER HAD TO TURN OFF THE AUTO DEFROST, AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON TO RESET THE COMPONETS. ALSO WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE CONSUMER HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND A LOUD METAL SOUND CAME FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SHUT DOWN BEFORE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE VALET SWITCH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN HAD FALLEN OFF. *SCC *JB
