Consumer Description

GREETINGS: ABOUT A MONTH AFTER HAVING MY CAR SERVICED FOR B SIDE OF MAINTENANCE, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THIS UNKNOWN SRS LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD; AFTER LOOKING THRU THE MANUAL, I REALIZED IT WAS SOMETHING DEALING WITH AIR BAG, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP EMPHASIZED IT WAS SOMETHING I NEEDED TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF SOONEST. NOT HAVING THE CASH, I ASKED HIM TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL; HE SIMPLY SAID HE HAD CHECKED, AND NO. TODAY OCT. 14, I BORROWED THE MONEY, AND TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE WORK; IT IS TOO SOON AS I DO NOT RECEIVE IT BACK UNTIL OCT. 15. AT THIS POINT, I AM NOT VERY PLEASED AS I FELT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE PAYING FOR. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I ALWAYS TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED WHEN REQUIRED. THIS JOB IS COSTING ME $500!!!!!!! AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL! *TR
