2 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2000

The air bag light came on and we took it in to the dealer to be looked at and hopefully corrected. We received a $104 charge to tell us that the air bag would cost $710 to fix. No accident or fast stop ever occurred, but now we are concerned that the air bag could go off at anytime while driving or if we needed it to, it wouldn't deploy. The other proplem is with the fuel injectors that we had to have replaced at 41,000 miles (about 1 1/2 yrs. Ago) and one is bad again as well as an sis, pcm, and a sensing module. We are questioning the quality of this product if these repairs are required at this point. We paid close to $800 to have the first injectors replaced and are now faced with a bill of $527 for one injector, sis, pcm, and a sensing module. The warranty had recently gone off when the injectors had gone bad the first time.
