THE AIRBAGS COULD NOT BE COUNTED ON TO PROTECT US IN AN ACCIDENT. IT WOULD COST $675 FOR THE PART ALONE, NOT COUNTING THE LABOR CHARGES. THE SRS UNIT IS A HONDA PART (THE OASIS IS THE HONDA ODYSSEY).

THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER SUSPENSION, WHEELS OR WHATEVER HOLDS THE WHEELS. WE DON'T FEELS SECURE ANYMORE UNLESS THIS IS…
