I TOOK THE VAN IN TO A DEALER TO FIND OUT WHY THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. AFTER PAYING $60.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTICS CHECK, (WHICH I STILL DON'T LIKE) THEY TOLD ME THE ROLLOVER SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A CRIMINAL $700.00 WHICH I WILL NOT PAY. SOUNDS LIKE A GM ISSUE TO ME SO I CALLED THE HOT LINE AND A WEEK LATER THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY $200.00 OUT OF THE $700.00 BECAUSE I WAS A GOOD GM BUYER. WRONG ANSWER. SO I FILLED OUT THE BBB COMPLAINT FORMS, WROTE AN ARTICLE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, FILLING OUT THIS FORM, DROPPING OF THE PAPER WORK TO MY ATTORNEYS OFFICE TOMORROW, THEN HEADED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP.
