What owners wrote
I took the car in and they let me go with the ABS light on and the stability track light on. If I knew the that this car was undrivable with these safety fixtures out I would have never picked up the car.
The driver side airbag warning signs display remains on for several days. When the brakes are applied there's a slight vibration and grinding sounds.
