Greetings: about a month after having my car serviced for b side of maintenance, while driving to work, this unknown SRS light came on my dashboard; after looking thru the manual, I realized it was something dealing with air bag, which the dealership emphasized it was something I needed to get it taken care of soonest. Not having the cash, I asked him to see if there was a recall; he simply said he had checked, and no. Today oct. 14, I borrowed the money, and took my car in for the work; it is too soon as I do not receive it back until oct. 15. At this point, I am not very pleased as I felt this is something that the manufacturer should be paying for. My car has never been in an accident, and I always take it in to have it serviced when required. This job is costing me $500!!!!!!! And I'm not happy about this at all!
