I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE THAT SAYS SERVICE AIR BAG. MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THAT THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAYS THERE IS A FAULTY SENSOR & THE FIX IS TO HAVE THEIR ELECTRICIAN HARD WIRE THE PROBLEM. ($550.00 MY COST) I ASKED WHAT IF NOT FIXED, SAID THAT FRONT COLLISION THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. TO ME THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE & SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM TO REPAIR.

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP OR GOES OUT WHILE TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, PARKING LOTS OR IN DRIVEWAYS. THERE IS NO WARNING OR APPARENT REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. WHEN IT STARTED WE HAD OUR MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK, AND HE STATED EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD AND POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL. HE SUGGESTED HE COULD LOOK AT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION COULD BE WHAT IS NEEDED, SINCE THIS IS COMMON ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. AS TIME GOES ON IT CONTINUES TO WORSEN AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH OR WITHOUT MY FAMILY AS PASSENGERS. THE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS GOING TO COST UPWARDS OF $1300 TO REPAIR, WHICH WE FEEL SHOULD BE THE COST OF THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM!

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AFTER MY FRIEND AND I RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE WHILE ON A DAY OUTING. I BELIEVE IT TO BE FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DASH LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE TO ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN IT. WORRIED THAT IT MAY BE FOR THE WHOLE AIR BAG SYSTEM. WHEN I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AFTER READING ABOUT THE RECALL, THERE RESPONSE WAS UNFORTUNATELY YOUR CAR IS NOT COVERED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY? THEY SAID THE SAME THING WHEN THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT ON IT & I PAID SEPARATE FOR A DIAGNOSTICS,WHICH THEY SENT ME DOWN THE ROAD, WHICH IS 125 MILES ONE WAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY TO RETURN A WEEK LATER AND HAVE IS REPLACED.
