“The air bag light went on and stayed on in my 1996 Oldsmobile Achieva. I was referred to my dealer by my mechanic who diagnosed a air bag safety module problem that was recalled by GM as per all data . The dealer referred me to GM warranty hotline when the VIN # did not match a recall through the GM database. The entire repair was estimated by the dealer to be approximately $3000.00 using vintage auto parts on the harness for the module. This safety issue was caused by a body leak that collected water and shorted out the safety module. …”
