I had a wreck hit a deer on my driver side front bumper my air bag light came on and is still on its make a popping sound ever since that happen and it scares mey light stays on.
My 03 blazer has had its airbag lights on for some time now and I'm worried that if I get into a crash my airbags wont deploy, I'm scared also to see so many complaints along the same lines as mine. This problem needs to be addressed by the federal safety agency or by gm before someone is killed or injured badly. A recall is needed!
Air bag light on 33,000 miles,dealer replaced air bag control module under center console. 33,500 miles air bag light on again,dealer reset light.at 35,100 miles air bag light on again and goes on and off every 5-minutes to this day with 54,000 miles. This needs a recall for gm asap. Please investigate!
Nothing happened to cause the airbag light to come on, but one day a few years ago it came on and won't go off. Certified gm mechanic can't find reason why. So I still drive the vehicle but have told my family, and left notarized statement with documentation, that if something should happen to me as a result of this (I.e. Airbag doesn't deploy thereby causing fatal injury or deploys without cause causing injury) they are to sue gm.
