Re: Is this fraud??

I had a 94 Sable till the head gasket blew (3.8L). My Sable kept flashing an airbag code issue with passenger side bag. I basically ignored it. In cold weather the ABS light would blink, then go off when it warmed up. Motor mounts were also getting weak, which is also very common with the 3.8L. These cars don't age too gracefully. Taping over the lights isn't uncommon but yes he should have told you. Is it fraud, I don't know. A 94 Taurus/Sable is going to have a ton of minor issues with it. All in all it's not a bad car, except for the 3.8L head gasket issue, but you can expect it's going to have minor issues that you'll need to decide to fix or ignore. If the airbag deployed and he knew and didn't say anything, that's wrong if he didn't replace it.
