I have a few issues I've discussed on this board, and at this point my question is, can I live with it, is it going to affect my safety when driving. (03 linear, 114k miles)
First issue, ignition switch. it seems to mostly be an annoyance, and causing weird electrical gremlins, Like when I start the car, my ac goes into a self test mode, and my mpg average on the sid resets. is this doing any damage to the rest of the car, or is it _just_ annoying?
2nd, air bag sensor. I keep getting the air bag light come on, last time I had it at the indi, I had them look at it, and they said that its just the sensor is bad, it was on back order, so I didn't replace it at the time. its on the front passenger corner acording to the indi. I assume all this is going to do, if I get hit on that side no air bags? this is my commuter car, if I ever drive any where with the wife, its in our 07 9-5, which has no issues what so ever, so I figure the airbag not going off if I get hit on the left hand side isn't as important? and I ride a motorcycle normally, saftey isn't huge on my list for myself, obviously...
3rd isssue, alarm moduel, I'm 100% sure this is just an annoyance, I took it out as I've had the alarm go off on me while at work, and at night, once each, so it came out, waiting for it to be repaired when I have money.
4th ABS sensor. I get the christmas tree lights periodically, especially at times when the traction control kicks in (if I turn off the traction control it reduces the occurences significantly). I am not doing any further damage to the car, I just don't have the availabily of traction control/abs when I drive correct?
I ask these questions as this is my 2nd vehicle, I commute mostly on my motorcycle, and my 9-5 sits in the drive way (wife gets the garage) 3-5 days a week when I'm working. I usually just drive it on bad weather days, of if I know I'm going to be running an errand where i cannot carry something on my bike. I've dropped almost 3 grand into this year already doing other repairs, and I'm done. I have too many other bills to pay off. I mostly just need it to be reliable enough to drive me when I can't ride. once I pay off my other bills, it will get attention again, but that will be 12-24 months from now. I live in AZ so I basically can ride year round almost (and do).
