Air Bag On-off Switch problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Impala

2005 Chevrolet Impala consumer is concerned about air bags after hitting a deer and they did not deploy and the security light came on. The dealer informed the consumer, the ignition switch and cylinder needed to be replaced. The consumer then went to a repair shop, to have the work done. A short time later, the air bag light illuminated.

As a result, the vehicle stalled and crashed into an embankment and guardrails. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained a back injury that did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v400000(electrical system). The failure mileage was 60,000.

I recently purchased a 2005 Impala in April of 2014. There was no check light engine on for about a week, but the light did come on and also with the airbags light. When braking both lights will disappear. At times of accelerating, the lights will appear. Also, I have a faulty ignition switch that is affecting my headlights, radio, interior lights, and my key will barely turn.
