The letter I got yesterday says This is a permanent repair for your vehicle and must be preformed even if you had the airbag inflator previously replaced as an interim repair.Yeah I got it supposedly it's a temporary part I'm not sure though. I've heard it's a temporary fix and also a permanent fix
Yeah, about this.Don't hold your breath. They have a legal obligation to tell you that you are driving with a frag grenade in the glove box, but they will maintain that they don't have enough service parts until the car dies.
I got the letter about 3 weeks ago .Took the 2005 in last week ,they said they had the new part .Got a call about an hour later that they would have to order it ,come and get your car or leave it here .I took it home . Friday they call and said the part is in ,bring it in Monday ...today .A couple of hours later they call and say they ordered the wrong part
Come and get it and we will call when the correct part arrives Now i am wondering if they actually have the new part They did give me a unlimited time ,free oil change card for my troubles .
