I FOUND OUT OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM FROM MSNBC'S ARTICLE. I BROUGHT IN MY VAN AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BAD AND IT WOULD COST ROUGHLY $250 TO GET IT FIXED. HAD WE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A LARGE SCALE PROBLEM RESULTING FROM DEFECTIVE PARTS. THANK YOU.*AK
