Two problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The driverside air bag went off when the vehicle was parked in my garage. I started the vehicle and left the door open, I then went to take the garbage out to end of my driveway. As I was walking back to my garage I heard a loud noise. I noticed the air bag had been deployed when I reached my vehicle. The vehicle was still running and I didn't notice anything else wrong. I drove the vehicle to work and I rolled down the window to air out the vehicle. About 5 minutes later the windows wouldn't work. I changed the fuse but that didn't solve the window problem. That would have been bad if the air bag deployed when I was driving.
My wife was driving down a one way and a lady blew through a stop sign out in front of my wife. My wife hit here in the middle of the ladies car at 35mph. My wife was not wearing a seat belt at the time due to the fact it had stopped working the night before. She was on her way to the dealer ship at the time of the accident. On impact the air bags did not deploy on the driver or passenger side. The doors on the vehicle locked. A person came to get my wife out of the SUV but they could not due to the doors locking. I would think that in a 35mph crash that did approx. $8000 of damage that the air bag would hve gone off. I hope this can be solved. Thank you.
