The air bag check light began blinking for no reason at all just before the car hit 60,000 miles. It continues to blink and i now have to pay the dealership $75 to determine why it is blinking. To me this is a manufacturer issue given there was no incident that triggered this event. *tr

This is the third transmission on the vehicle, last one was one year ago. The airbags sensor came on all of sudden for no reason and they wanted to charge me a bunch of money just to check it (not to repair it, just look at it first).
