Three problems related to air bag light on have been reported for the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My airbag light came on. Called the dealer. Brought in the next couple of days. They scannned codes (our tps) light had been on. Faulty pps air bag module $1150. 00 to fix it. Told them go ahead. What could I do, this is Thursday. There was no sensor to be found, they said gm had a back order of this part, went home (slowly) the dealer said they would call me on Friday. Called the dealer said they located one in kentucky. I asked if they could get it overnight, to which they said no. My concern is if airbags are so important for 'safety" parts readily available parts should be within a 24hr range. Saftety is my concern. Told the dealship that we were very scared and unhaappy. Maybe its time to look at other cars the GMC is not what they used to be. They should be held accountable. I hope no one gets hurt without an airbag.
Service air bag light is on. The code b0026 drivers side front deploy.
While driving on a straight section of a city street at only 30 mph both side curtain airbags deployed. I was startled but quickly looked around to see if I had hit anything or had been hit by another car. I was still moving forward and as soon as safely possible pulled the car over and got out to inspect what had happened. There was no collision with any other object or car and the airbags had deployed without warning. The airbag light had not been on and the car was driving normally. I called my insurance company and reported the incident and requested a tow. The insurance adjuster has since determined that since there has been no collision that the cause must be from a manufacturer's defect. The body shop has run the codes from the on board computer and they are b0051,b0058,b0062,b0065,b0070, and u7300. Except for the u7300 the rest are stating the obvious that the airbags and seat belt tensioners have deployed. This is a very serious safety concern because if I had been driving at highway speeds on a section of road that was curved I do not think that I could have maintained control of the vehicle.
