Airbag warning light on - $540 poorer

["Eric Wang" <wangstervr6@hotmail.com>]

Hey all,

     So my airbag warning light came on a few days ago and I sent the 
car to the dealer, who determined that the warning light module shorted 
out.  Cost: about $80 for parts.  Fine, no big deal, I thought.  Today, 
I went back and they put the new light in; the light was still on.  They 
then determined that the airbag control module (the computer) was fried.  
Cost: $426 for parts, $72 for labor, plus tax.  (Ouch!)  

     For some reason, I'm not satisfied.  They gave me the old module 
back, so I'm assuming that they're not ripping me off.  And I do like 
the idea of having a functioning airbag.  But, I just can't get over 
shelling out $540 for a damn part that shouldn't have broken down in the 
first place.
