In owners' words

What Promaster owners report

Recent air bags complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

Repeated warnings on dash that the airbags are inoperable - see dealer followed by center screen warning that the SOS systems is inoperable. Then the center display shuts down. Consequently I have to reset the back up camera system by going into vehicle settings to reactivate it.
