In owners' own words
Airbag recall 00v171000/ manufacturer's recall 00058. Part has been on order for 6 months. Horn on vehicle doesn't work, and dealer will not work on it because airbag can deploy if tampered with. Consumer is in a difficult situation, and has avoided 2 accidents since this problem. Dealer and manufacturer have been rude to consumer, and are not providing any assistance. Air bags
Consumer received a recall 00v171000 notice for air bag deployment. Dealership was supposedto replace inflator in air bags. Consumer claimed that no parts were replaced in vehicle, and she was charged for diagnostic of vehicle. She has recently received another letter regarding air bag inadvertently deploying. Please provide any additional information/attachments. Air bags
I received a recall letter saturday, stating that the airbag could deploy without warning. They won't fix it for 6 months! This is absurd. I have 1 in 2000 chances of experiencing this defect. I want to disconnect it until the parts come in but two dealerships I contacted said they couldn't! That is even more absurd. Tell me what to do now! Air bags
