Dealer claimed when we purchased this vehicle that it had an airbag restraint. However according to my owners manual, it should have an SRS marking on the center of the steering wheel. It does not. It also has an airbag indicator light on the dashboard, that should light up whenever the ignition is turned on. It dosent light up. I checked the fuse panel diagram to locate the fuse. It clearly indicates a fused location for the airbag circut. However upon examining the fuse panel, the entire section where the airbag fuse should be, is not there. Leading me to believe that it has been disconnected. I also know for a fact, that this vehicle has been in an accident. I found overspray on the moldings on the drivers side of the vehicle, and a 4X4 decal on the drivers side is missing from the rear panel. I truely believe that the airbag has been deployed, and it was not replaced. My owners manual says that it has one, but the evidence suggests it does not. I feel that if the dealer has purposely mislead us, and is knowingly compromising our saftey. He should be fined or his license should be revoked. I am also furnishing this information to the nys attorney generals office/ used car lemon law. In addition to this is my ongoing transmission problem with this vehicle that I previously reported to you. Thank you.
