SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM CARMAX IN OCTOBER. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR AIRBAG LIGHTS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOW BEEN ON FOR 2 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT HAD TIME DO GET IT FIXED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED IT, THE SEATBELT LIGHT ALSO COMES ON FREQUENTLY. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE THE CARS SAFETY IS SO POOR- WITH AIRBAG SYSTEM BEING DEACTIVATED AND SEATBELTS BEING OUT OF WHACK, THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP! I WENT TO CARMAX TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME AND THE MANAGER WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE MY NAME. *TR
