Has anyone else had issues with their brakes seeming to lock up and airbag light in dash coming on after R25 recall repair"??? dealer refuses to address these problems without me paying for diagnositics to be run first & I don't have $100+ to pay out of pocket.

The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V313000 (air bags) over two months ago and called the dealer for months and was not able to schedule an appointment. The dealer later stated that they scheduled an appointment for the recall repair but when the contact arrived for the recall repair appointment, the dealer indicated that other vehicles needed to be serviced first. The dealer did not confirm if the part was available so the contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact was not experiencing a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
