Don't bring it to the dealer, they way overcharge for repairs anyway...

recalls are unavoidable, however

Only if you take it in. Sacrifices must be made..

that's how I treat my airbag recall

like, sure, I could take it in. but that'd mean I'd have been in a crash. just don't crash. my first car didn't even have a passenger airbag, they should consider themself lucky it might work at all

some airbag recalls are because they increase your risks of injury or death. do not ignore an airbag recall PLEASE.
