HELP worried !

Right ive had a few issues with my GP thought some 1 on here could help me out. The airvent on the dashboard ( the one that clears the windscreen) it lifted up slightly on the drivers side, but i got that fixed had to wait 1month for fait to approve the repair and test it in some courtesy car. i also said about my brakes screeching the dealer said that brakes are only covered up to the first 6months, so ive been just putting up with it.

twice this has happened: i turned the car on and it says the air bags arent active im gettting no revs no speed reading no fule reading all the lights are on, this goes away after letting the car sit over night.


then i cleaned the car out the other day and brought it for a drive, the dash is saying the seat belt is not connected and bleeping like mad, so i found the problem a wire looks to have broken under the seat ( yellow 1) i twisted it back in place,

Finally, i went to fiat dealer to have it booked in to be checked, will i be charged anything for them having a look at the electrics and will be charged for a courtesy car

Cheers
Chris

Re: HELP worried !

Most of them are common GP issues to be honest, most people on here have probaly had one of them. A courtesy car is 'free' but some dealers charge for the insurance some dont.
