I have my car serviced there every 3,000 miles and tires rotated every 6,000 miles. …”

“The contact stated while driving the airbag light illuminated. Although the dealership and manufacturer were alerted, no repairs were made. The ABS light illuminated, the front spring brackets were replaced. Updated 04/06/06.”
