I'd say it's reasonable to demand that safety equipment be covered FOR THE LIFETIME of the car. For my safety restraint system (SRS Control Unit for the airbags), which I've *never* used, to cost me $760 to repair is OUTRAGEOUS! It's probably an $80 computer.

Back in April 2003, my SRS light came on. I brought to my dealer to look at. I paid them $140 to do diagnostic testing. All they told me was that all my airbag sensors worked fine but my computer was "confused" and I needed to replace the whole computer, which would cost $400-$500 plus labor. I have yet to replace it. I'm wondering if it came on b/c I rolled over the 100,000 mile mark. I now have 111,000 miles and it's still on.
