ODI #11432708AIR BAGS

just bought this car, no warranty, noticed the ? passenger air bag alert flashing on the dash, dealer where I bought the car tried to reset it, but was unable to, suggested to take it to dealership and get it checked. But looking on a forum, noted several similar complaints, states the seat needs to be replaced for possible 8K, due to the sensor in the bottom of the seat, stated was unsure if the bag would deploy or not if in an accident. Most are hoping for a RECALL ! to get this taken care of and resolve the possible SAFTEY issue. Thank You.

THE FUEL GAUGE READ THAT THERE WAS STILL ONE QUARTER OF A TANK OF FUEL REMAINING AND THERE ACTUALLY WASN'T. I SPENT ABOUT $350 TO REPLACE BOTH SENDING UNITS AND THAT DID NOT WORK. THEN I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP FOR $450 AND THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. *TR
