Head light wire is out , electrical wire is messing up . Car is shaking bad and won’t start . Air bag light is on
Air bag light randomly pop on . Electrical system is so bad that I only have 1 head light and it’s very dangerous driving at night like that .
First off the power steering goes out and can only be fixed by applying dielectric grease to the bcm but that will fix it. second the airbag light will randomly go on but this can also be remedy by fixing the yellow connection under the passenger seat try jiggling it if that doesnt fix it just cut the two wires off the connector's and splice with crimp connectors. hope this helps you as much as it did me :)
The passenger light beam will not come on it also messes with my radio it turns it to the aux I keep replacing the Bub in the harness and it's still not working not not to mention the car felt like a lost of power due to I guess the trance when turning a corner or pulling off. The air bag light comes on a few days and turn off.
I was stopped,went to accelerate,and sudden hard shift as it accelerated. After a few miles,lost all gears after 2nd gear.on interstate at time when lost gears & close to getting into major accident. Took it to asc certified mechanic to learn that the transmission failed,wiring from battery to started burned up,battery failurem alternator failed, and ECM failed as well. Repair cost approx $4600.00. Service airbag light & check engine light on also & p0013 code. Looked up veh history, shows recalls on some of this were supposedly performed, but hard to believe. 6 speed transmission, so gm won't honor.
Passenger airbag light keeps coming on. If I move passenger seat sometimes it goes off. 37,000 miles.
The front passenger side air bag warning light keeps going off. Purchased car used and I am not sure of the problem. I want to be sure that this is a saftey issue for someone in the front seat. No accident yet,but I have concerns. It is on going as to a certain date.
My air bag light keeps going off and coming on. My car wasn't included in the recall that happened at the beginning of the year but I fill as though it should of been.
I have a 2010 and repeatedly have issues. It has been to the dealer as it completely lost power in rush hour. Car dash said service ABS, power, saver mode, traction control, service ESC and then died. I took to shop and they replaced the PCM is what they told me. Car has since had lose of power, sluggish, dies periodically, and now almost 3 years after thousand dollar repair not to mention the air bag light that is on that they are telling me will cost at least 1000 dollars as well to repair as my car is out of warranty and that it is a saftey concern. My car died again while coming through a intersection and the p0341 has come up and been replace3d four times since february 2019. This car is a danger and I am forced to drive it when it runs as I have so much money invested I cant afford a new one. I have also replaced the throttle body and just about every sensor under the hood including spark plugs and battery and car is still acting up. Why are they not helping us. Someone is going to get killed. It stalls suddenly and with little to no warning. I am terrified to transport my kids in this car. Please help us'
When driving car air bag light has flashed on and off on three separate occasions each time as soon as steering wheel move position the light goes out there is a recall for the make and model year but my VIN is not listed.
