Reported on Jan 09, 2000
| SRS AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON AND WOULD STAY ON FOR EXTENDED LENGTHS OF TIME AND THEN GO OUT OCCASIONALLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO BARRY NISSAN/VOLVO, 166 CONNELL HIGHWAY, NEWPORT RI 02840 (A GM GOODWRENCH SERVICE PLUS REPAIR CENTER) AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY. THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART TO EVEN START AN INVESTIGATION. I HAD THEM ORDER THE PART AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. ON SUNDAY JANUARY 9TH, PRIOR TO MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, A PASSENGER IN MY CAR NOTICED THAT THEIR WAS POWDER ALL OVER THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON THE DAY OF THE SHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND SHOWED THEM THE POWDER. BARRY NISSAN /VOLVO INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND CALLED LATER TO NOTIFY ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT NONE OF THE SENSORS HAD TRIPPED. THEY CALLED THEIR REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER AND HAVE BEEN AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FROM HIM/HER. *AK | |
