Consumer Description

AFTER 90K MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DIAGNOSTIC REQUIRED ME TO REPLACE THE SAS MODULE. I WOULD NEED TO RE-CALIBRATE THE AIRBAG SENSORS, IF THIS WAS UNSUCCESSFUL THEN I WOULD NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER $2400 REPLACING THE AIRBAG SENSORS. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS AND NO FENDER BENDERS, SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT.
