RE: airbag, Dealer scam or Dead bag. Was: One Hot V8

Ahhh ... I see.  My apologies ... from my reading of the earlier message it
was my understanding that you had an airbag light on originally and the
dealer told you that the recall would resolve it.  Yes, I agree with the
other poster who advised that you march right back into the dealer and tell
them that they screwed it up!  I had to do that myself when I had the recall
done on my V8.  Fortunately for me the problem wasn't nearly as serious,
somehow they screwed up the rear antenna for the stereo when they did the
recall ...
