1. Both rear springs have broken within 1 year of each other. There were no accidents or any kind or off road driving. These are Expensive to fix. 2. Driver side airbag light is on. No idea why. Afraid to drive this vehicle.

I've had my car for 3 years. I've always kept up with it's maintenance. My engine/head gasket are blown and I found out this is a common issue with this car. The airbags also dont recognize when there are passengers in the car. I started my car up one morning in September and all of my lights started flashing. I immediately turned it off and towed it to my mechanic to find out that it pretty much has everything wrong with it. My car is barely above 80k

We have had problems with the air bags since the car was new. The SRS light would come on for a couple months then go off. It says it has a problem with the passenger presence module. Never had a recall but the dealer said that when we took it in for an oil change they updated the firmware on the air bag system. It never did work, it would sometimes work then not work. I took it back a few weeks ago and told them it still isn't right and I said since it is a safety issue they should cover it. They told me that since Ohio doesn't have auto inspections that they are not responsibile for taking care of it and I was looking at over 1000 to repair. That pissed me off so I took my car and left. I am taking it to a independent garage. I have had lots of problems eith this car and only have 42000 on it now. My last GM, next will be Toyota/

Driver airbag light stays on .this is the 4th time I have had this problem since ipurchased this vehicle on april 2017. Had it serviced the first three times but now the warrenty is out and here I am again with the air bag light on. This has been very frustrating and should not be happening so often. Now I am left having to pay someone to fix this again !

My passenger side airbag light comes on the dashboard telling me that my passenger side airbag is off even with someone sitting in the seat. I tested it with my boyfriend sitting in the seat holding our 40lb dog. Combined, they weigh over 200lbs and then light on my dashboard still says the passenger side airbag is off. The vehicle was not in motion. It was turned on asked parked in the driveway. I tested it while driving on a private road at 35mph and the light stays on while the car is in motion and while parked.

A car pulled out in front of my wife. She struck the other vehicle in the driver's door. The airbag did not deploy and the seatbelt did not lock. This caused her injuries. There has been a recall for this problem. It did not fix the problem. The accident occurred in a 35 MPH zone and on a 4 lane road.

Passenger airbag does not always activate. The light indicating that the passenger airbag has been activated does not always turn on when the seat is in use. It doesn't matter if the car is moving or stationary. It also doesn't matter who is sitting in the seat, meaning it could work for the person one day and not the next. .
