I took my car to mckinney dodge in easley s.c. They checked it out and said that the electrical contact spring was broken and I needed a new one. My warrenty had ran out they said. They also told me that my airbag would not deploy even if I had an accident. I should not have to pay 165.00 for something like that when I have only had the car for 7 months. According to mckinney dodge when I bought the car I had 2 yrs or 25,000 miles. Now they said that was for when it was new. It had almost 14,000 miles on it when I bought it back in march. They failed to tell me that warrenty was for a new car. I hope you will invesdicate this for me. My horn won't work due to this problem either. Dt
