Air bag service>12/26/05 seatbelt faulty, 7/5/06 driver belt pretensioner resistance low, 7/24/06 shorted seat belt, 8/14/06 harness pinched between seatbelt assy & bdy, 6/11/07, code B1448; stabilant applied to OCS connector, 7/22/09 control box replaced as potential malfunction; air bag light came right back on; driver seat now on order to be replaced, 8/11/09 received call seat arrived (21 days with no air bag service, per service representative it was like driving an old car), 8/17/09 dropped off at 8:30am, not exact, (service 8/17 as that is my 9/80 work schedule day off) I received phone call at 230pm that the wrong color seat was received, 8/20/09 I received phone call at 5:01pm that correct color seat had arrived so I scheduled for 8/31/09 (my next 9/80 work schedule day off) for it to be replaced. With the complaints I have seen on this site I am going to contact the regional service manager and something is going to be done! this is not acceptable, warranty is a safety net just in case, not something to be used to cover a lemon of a car!
