3 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 10/04/2018

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.

4 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

Takata recall my air bag light was coming on and off. Then it stayed on for good. When I had it inspected. They said it was a sensor located within the steering column. I'm wondering if my vehicle was over looked under this recall and would like to make sure me and my family is safe. I purchased this vehicle used back in July 2017. I never had any accidents in this vehicle. Its awkward for an airbag light to come on. I've been driving gm vehicles for some time and never experienced this.

7 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 01/21/2017

Not exactly what's going on with my 2007 Trailblazer lt 5. 3, this is an intermittent issue the airbag light comes on on the dash and says airbag fault, it's not every day but most of the time, I'm worried because what if I get into an accident and the air bags never had an issue till now. It only has 134,000 miles, not something I think should go bad, also sounds like I'm not the only one having an issue. Is this a fuse, a sensor? what can cause this to happen I don't like driving around with no airbags.

16 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 09/09/2013

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.

I purchased a used car from ez cars & credit located in riverside California because they had some very good reviews. I could of bought a car from a private owner but I decided to go with a dealership because I figured that the law would protect me and they could not sale me a defective vehicle. I purchased an SUV, Chevrolet Trailblazer 2006 on 2/07/2013 and after taking the car for a test drive, I noticed the airbag light on. The manager javier pena said it was just something that could be fixed in like 5 minutes and that it had to do with the fuses being replaced but his service technician left for the day so I should bring the car in tomorrow. I contacted the dealership and asked for javier pena, I was told by the sales manager who's name is mike, that mr. Javier pena was on vacation for 1 week in mexico. I explained the airbag situation and mike said he doesn't know anything about it and I would have to wait for javier pena to return from mexico. A week and a half later driving with the airbag light on, not knowing if my kids, husband or myself were safe in this vehicle but we spent all our money to purchase this car. We here from javier pena so I brought the car into the dealership, mr. Pena had the car for 4 days and the airbag light is still on today! I contacted mr. Pena and told him I was on my way to pickup my car, mr. Javier pena he was at the office, now when I pick up my car, I get my keys from the owner of the auto repair shop next door. He doesn't even work for the dealership! I have serious water corrosion under my car, the steering wheel feels shaky the fuel gauge never reads correctly and the lights go off and on inside the car after a while of driving. I don't know what to do??.

19 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 11/01/2012

Air bag light came on and has remained on since it started. I have had it looked at however they indicated there were no recalls and the expense was going to be over $1000 to repair, which I don't have. Given the recent recalls on air bags, and additional information I found recently on your site, this seems to be an issue that may warrant recall/repair from the manufacturer and not out of pocket expense for the consumer.

Started up truck to warm up after about 3 minutes heard bang and both front airbags had deployed for no reason. Prior to this had issue with intermittent dash board lights (battery, speed odometer, seatbelt and airbag lights) being on. Gm refuses to cover because I did not take to "dealer". I took it to my local mechanic instead who could find no issue other than corroded grounds. Currently it is being repaired by my insurance company.

Failure Date: 10/04/2007

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle would vibrate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions, but they could not produce any error codes or provide a sufficient remedy. In addition, the air bag warning indicator would sporadically illuminate on the instrument panel, which signified that the air bag was inoperative. If the passenger sensing system were to malfunction, the front air bag on the passenger side could be disabled when it should be enabled or vice versa. The risk of injury in the event of a crash was increased.

Dont know where to start. Squeaking noise when going over bumps (sounds like it is coming from suspension). Metal grinding noise in brakes, ticking noise from engine, seat belt and airbag lights have come on for no reason, rear latch has come open while driving, tail lights and brake lights burning out freqently, transmission was slipping on take off, no cause found in the several times it has been taken in for this.
