I noticed that on the dash a message that service is needed on one of the airbags. I then scheduled appointment to have the problem corrected. I was informed by the dealership’ service department that I need a passenger airbag replacement on the passenger side of the car, and they also informed me that gm no longer manufactures the airbag that I need. I was not given any assistance on how to replace this safety feature in the car, nor was I notified by the manufacturer that airbag was discontinued.
Air bags didn’t come out.
I was driving along highway 70 downtown st louis when all the sudden all 4 ceiling/curtain airbags went off only, no other airbags deployed, just the ones stated. I pulled the vehicle off the highway. I was able to drive the vehicle back to my house where it remains. This incident happened on the evening of October 19, 2019. I just purchased this vehicle 3 weeks ago. The dealership is closed on sundays where I purchsed it. There is no body damage to the vehicle, like I said the airbags just went off for no reason.
Takata, service air bag is on across stereo console & light on dash. It came on within last 4 weeks while driving & after a bump in road. Won't go off. Deeply concerned. Also driver power seat module doesn't work to raise not great for someone short.
