My airbag light won't turn off. My dashboard lights won't reset. The staircase light is on, the oil light, the suspension light. I've had electrical problems since purchasing the car which now has 99,972 miles on it.
Airbag light going on and off.
, a passenger airbag light constant come on when you sit something in the seat I have had it checked two times and it still comes on I think it's a defect in that system.
I have just paid to replace the passenger seat cushion where the sensor for the passenger airbag is. The passenger airbag light came on in my car and the mechanic discovered that the sensor was not working, therefore they were unable to say whether the airbag would correctly deploy in an accident situation. I am unable to upload the receipt due to file size. The mechanic indicated they could provide details if necessary.
The vehicle was at the dealership for a different repair. Upon driving the car off the lot on Friday, I noticed that the air bag light was illuminated. I immediately returned to the dealership. On the following Monday, I was told that the air bag module had failed, causing the air bags to become inoperable. This car has experienced major electrical failures including ignition failure/replacement, hvac module failure/replacement, body control module failure/replacement, brake sensor failure/replacement and now the airbag module failure/replacement. This vehicle needs to be taken off of the roads due to severe safety hazards and systems failure.
Very upset that alot of GMC vehicles/saturns are on a recall for airbag problems. Except mine!!! my airbag light came on for the driver's side twice now. First in Dec 2014 then suddenly went off. Took it to the dealership in April (light came on again) to have it repaired. Then messed with the wires and got the light out but said if it came on again it would need replaced. Well it's on again and it will be about $1,500+ to have it repaired!! this is obviously a manufacturing defect!! air-bags don't wear out! this is a significant safety issue which should be taken care of by GMC!!!.
My airbag light started coming on about eight months ago. The light was continuously lit any time the car was running. It would not go off. I receive monthly diagnostic checks on my car from onstar. It kept alerting me for months that I had safety issues with my airbag system. I kept thinking the light just would not go off. After the continued persistence by the onstar alerts, and emphatic warnings to call them and have a diagnostic run on the system while I was in the car, I finally did. The operator at onstar told me that I had a serious problem with my airbags, and that they may not deploy in an accident. They strongly recommended that I check with my car dealer. I contacted general motors and told them about the issue I was having. I stressed that I feared driving in this dangerous situation, where the airbag would not work properly in a crash. I told them that I needed to have the problem checked. After stressing my concerns , gm give me the go ahead to take the vehicle to have a diagnostic check done on the airbags. The car dealer, crews Chevrolet, in SC, found that the airbag was defective! I called gm representatives with the report of the inspection of the airbag module. The gm representative actually talked with the crews representative to understand the problem with the airbag. Gm then said that they would have my case looked at by their superiors and make a decision about how to proceed. I waited for several days and then recalled general motors to get guidance on when to take the car in for repairs. Crews quoted the cost at $880. 00. Gm said it would only assist the cost by paying $264. 00. That the airbag was out of warranty. My problem with this is---how can something as crucial as airbags be under warranty? I was shocked that the value of my life was worth less than $880 to them. I was them to replace the airbags at total cost!.
I am not sure when the front drivers side airbag came on and stayed on but I noticed it today. Does not make me feel safe to think there might be an issue with the drivers airbag but right now I cannot afford to have it fixed. So the problem is their airbag light for the driver stays on all of the time.
On a road trip the red air bag light went on and off a few time but is now on all the time. Chevy dealer says there are no known problems with the 2008 air bag system, which I do not believe, and they will troubleshoot for $100 an hour.
We purchased a 2008 Saturn Vue on June 28, 2008. The past 3 weeks, the key would periodically not release from the ignition - service department replaced the shifter saying it was not completely going into park. Also, the airbag light (for driver) starting blinking at the time the above occurred (this was also brought to their attention). When I started the car, it started to blink (only light blinking) and continued blinking when all other lights faded. No error message was received by the chip. Mile one Saturn claims that they could not replicate the air bag issue, therefore the service department perceived there was no issue and released the car to me. Needless to say, I went back in and told them I was not taking the car until they fixed the problem.
