weee back to the service dpt. again! quick question.

Hey, just a quick question regarding protocall and service.

my SRS light came on again today, this is the 3rd time since i have owned the car (6 months). the first time they said it was a computer problem and made it go away, the second time it was sensor. now its back and im getting ready to go in again.

should i ask them to check the entire SRS system? and make them show me a print out or something from a tech showing what they checked? last time one of the guys i talked to at the dealer when the sensor when out said if i got in to an accident my airbags may not have deployed, or deployed improperly. that bothers me.

i would like the satisfaction of knowing im driving a car that if somthing bad happends its going to protect me as it was designed to.

Went to the dealers once for SRS problem, they said that the SRS sensor on the passenger side has the most faulty issues if the weight limit is high, so like dont put anything heavy on the passenger side or it messes up the srs sensor there fore giving you an srs problem

haha, well my car went in for service today. they need to keep it over night to fix the SRS problem and they cant figure out what is causing my car to pulsate and vibrate when i hit the brakes.

funny thing is i got a loaner car and its an 05 c230 SS with more options then my car lol. damn thing is almost fully loaded.

I've always wondered, if you take a loaner and just mod the hell out of it, and return it... what would the dealers do :p ?
