Consumer Description

THREE WARNING MESSAGES APPEAR (I HVE TO CLICK "OK" TO REMOVE THEM) EACH TIME I START THE CAR. THE MESSAGE IS ABOUT THE AIRBAG, THE BELT TENSIONER, AND THE BELT FORCE LIMITER. THIS FOR THE BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR, BUT NOTICE THROUGH EXPEIMENTATION,THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I GIVE A RAPID TUG ON THE SHOULDER BELT IT STOPS AFTER A FEW INCHES (AS IT SHOULD) AND SOMETIMES IT GOES FORWARD A COUPLE OF FEET WITHOUT ANY REISTANCE. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY OTHER EXPERIMENTATION. THIS IS TRUE FOR THE VEHICLE BEING STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. SINCE THE DEALER WANTS $185 JUST TO LOOK (I AM A FEW MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY), I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEIR IS THE REALISTIC POSSIBLITY OF A RECALL. THIS WOULD SAVE ME ANALYSIS AND SUBSEQUENT REPAIR EXPENSES.
