MY CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR BECAUSE I HAVE TO CROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHICH ALSO MEANS NO AIR BAGS!

I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AND SINCE THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN THAT LIGHT CAME ON I WANTED TO TRY GETTING THAT FIXED FIRST AND MAYBE THAT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE (SINCE THE A/C AND AIRBAGS ARE AROUND THE SAME AREA). I TAKE THE CAR IN. THEY FIX 1 AIR BAG (NO PARTS FOR PASSENGER SIDE) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. STILL NO AIR/HEAT/DEFROST.
