Well, it was bound to happen. I brought my car in for the airbag
recall.(About a month ago) Since then, I had driven it approximately 30 or
so miles, on one day. Well, I go out to drive it this Friday night, and
what happens? Car will not start. Turns over fine. Check codes...
camshaft position sensor... whatever. Come back an hour later, and all is
fine. Car starts right up, and I clear the codes. No problems since, after
driving all weekend. Anyway, once it started, the airbag light came on, and
remained on for about 1-2 mins after car was started. Turn off ignition,
restart, same shit. Every time it's started now, the airbag light stays on
for a minute or two, and turns off. Sometimes only about 30 seconds.
Doesn't matter whether it sits overnight or only ten seconds without
running. SO,... I'm back at school, and have to have a family member take
it in and deal with the incompetence of the dealer. I knew I shouldn't have
had the recall service done. This is why I do all the work on the car
myself. The one time I let someone else do something, it gets screwed up.
Well, the dealer will fix it, at no cost to me. I won't accept anything
else. They will hear from me every day until they agree, but hopefully they
will be sensible, and take responsibility for their actions. Anyway, I'll
keep the list posted.
