problem #1

Cutlass

  • miles
The air bags could not deploy because the computer that controls them was out of service S indicated by warning lights on the dash. The first time the fuse block was replaced the car was fully functional except that the controls ot the master brain were not working, hence the safety concerns. The second time it was replaced the car just died, which of course could strand someone.
