What owners say
The air bag light is constantly going on and off. The dealer had supposedly fixed the problem, but it is still not working properly. The vehicle has been taken back to dealership, now they can't find anything wrong with it. I was told that when the warning light is lit, the airbag will not work.
The air bag light comes on intermittently because the air bag sensor is bad and needs to be replaced. Also, at 30,000 miles the windshield wiper turns on and off intermittently without being engaged. There is a recall on this issue for the early model year. *ak the dealership refused to replace the wiper control module. Consumer took the vehicle for replacement of the air bag sensor, which they performed but the air bag is still inoperative. *bf
The air bag light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. The consumer drove to the dealer to have the vehicle inspected. The mechanic informed the consumer that the sensor needed to be replaced. The consumer told the mechanic that the problem still happened and has not been resolved. Please fill in additional information.
I own a 1998 blazer on 10-19-o3 it was hit from rear. Since this time the airbag light stays on and everything on that switcc malfunctions. I have noticed on one ocasion that smoke came from the steering wheel. I do not want to continue to drive it.
While driving at 40 MPH vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and air bags failed to deploy. No air bag warning light appeared prior to the crash. Driver was wearing the seat belt.
Air bag warning light a first came on periodically but now stays on continuously. Dealer said vehicle was out of warranty and would cost me for repairs on a safety item. Windshield wipers now operate on their own. On, off setting, sometimes they operate. On different run settings they stop completely or vary speeds. Both are very serious safety hazards and should be recalled immediately. If an accident occurs by the windshield function or if someone is seriously injured because the airbags fail to deploy, there will be a serious lawsuit on someone's hands.
Airbag light comes on intermittenly, dealer unable to resolve.
Consumer states that the air bag light remain illuminated while driving. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information. Nlm
