Filed one complaint already about my car malfunctioning now on may 15 2025 I was. Involved in a car accident and my airbags did not deploy!!!it was a front crash hit the front right side of the car and no airbag deployment.
Got the car saying it needs service on the airbag.
It just been a like a real electrical problem like if I pull out in traffic is stalled it hesitate it has been hit a few times like that and like it just have to get a jump off every morning and every evening just to go anywhere and I truly don't know what to do I'm taking back to the dealer that I bought it from me at like I don't know what's wrong with it and I'm took it to a mechanic shop and they say it's electrical defect it it's going to kill the whole car and it's going to eventually kill me.
Service airbags came up on the.
Check air bag randomly comes on and shuts off. Some times I think its related to keys if I remove the weight of keys but not sure.
Well today light came on service airbag.
I was driving north on route 24 - dixie highway - south of davisburg road / north of I-75 (oakland country, mi) at 6pm on Thursday June 25, 2015. There was a chevy Impala driving south in the northbound lane (I. E. He was heading the wrong way). I avoided him by swerving but he collided with a Ford explorer heading north. The collision was nominally a head on, offset towards the driver's side. The Impala was fairly new, afterwards I checked pictures on the web and I'm pretty confident it was a my 2006-2012 model. The explorer was fairly new as well. I was one of the first people to arrive at the scene of the accident. The Impala driver wasn't wearing his seat belt and was unconscious laying across the front seats when I arrived. The windshield was cracked where his head had struck it. The horn was sounding and it looked like fuel had been spilled. I wanted to makes sure the car was off to prevent a fire so I removed the keys from the ignition. The horn continued to sound. It was eventually stopped when someone disconnected the cables from the battery. None of the airbags in the Impala had been deployed. There was a knowledgeable volunteer near by who told us not to touch the driver because he may have spinal injuries. I spent the next thirty minutes at the scene and provided a written statement to the police. Based upon the way the body was handled, I am assuming the driver of the Impala was killed by the impact. I am surprised that there was enough force in the impact to kill the driver (I assume) but not enough to deploy the airbags. The driver in the explorer was injured but her injuries didn't look especially serious and her airbags deployed. I believe the Impala should be investigated / inspected by a trained professional to establish the root cause on why the airbag didn't deploy.
As I'm approaching up the highway 1/2 mile from the car that is slowing down ahead I tried to press in my brakes but my car refused to stop I tried turning my while off it failed to turn. Basically I went straight in the back of the car. Its like the car jump as I approach the car ahead as if it reset itself then approach to turn after hitting the vehicle in front me it was a very scared site to experience. No airbag came out it was just me bracing myself against the seat holding on the wheel bracing hoping the car stops.
There is a loud tapping noise when you turn the a/c temp knob or try and change the air flow. The noise sounds like it comes from the passenger airbag area. The noise started when we bought the car on March 16,2010 but it only sound when we would change the air flow button. But today on September 8,2011 it started to make a faster louder tapping in the same place but this time in addition to the air flow botton now its triggered by the a/c tempeture knob. The noise is embarrising as we as annoying!.
