AIR BAGS
AS I, "THE OWNER", WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I RECEIVED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD CLUSTER AND MOVED THE VEHICLE TO THE FAR RIGHT HAND LANE AND SLOWED DOWN, AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS THE WARNING LIGHT WENT AWAY, THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES DURING THE WEEK UNTILL I COULD HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT BY MY TECH. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY TECH, HE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO CODES AND HE RECOMMEND THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE FULL BACK POSITION THAT I SHOULD MOVE IT FORWARD A LITTLE, THAT WAY THE AIR BAG MODULE WIRES WOULD NOT BE STRESSED. AFTER MOVING THE PASSENGER SEAT FORWARD ABOUT AN INCH OR SO THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK SINCE, CURRENT MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS 164,327. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING IN THE POURING RAIN WITH MY DAUGHTER FOLLOWING ME IN ANOTHER CAR THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. WE WERE ON PA MOUNTAIN ROADS AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THIS WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE WERE 4 HRS FROM HOME, I THOUGHT THE WIPERS WERE BAD AND MY VISION HAD FAILED AND THE STATE JUST DIDN'T PAINT THE LINES ON THE RD. THE SITUATION WAS SO BAD I HAD TO WAIT TILL WE FOUND THE NEXT EXIT RAMP TO PULL OVER. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF WHILE I WAS PAYING FOR MY FOOD AND GAS. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGHBEAMS ON!!! WHEN WE FINALLY GOT HOME I WAS SO SHAKEN BY THE SITUATION I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE TO FIND OUT THIS WAS NOT AND ISOLATED INCIDENT!!! RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!! *TR
