AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN CAR WAS STARTED. DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHY AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. DEALER WANTS TO START BY REPLACING AIR BAG PARTS UNTIL LIGHT GOES OFF (STARTING WITH THE $600 CHIP). DEALER CLAIMS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THIS CAR IN JULY 1995. IN 1996, THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A "FENDER BENDER" BUT AIR BAG LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY THE AIR BAG SYSTEM SHOULD JUST FAIL OUT OF THE BLUE.*AK
