What owners say
Air bag warning light stays on.
2001 chevy monte carlo ss has a problem with the driver side air bag. *nj the consumer stated 1 month after purchasing the vehicle, he noticed the air bag was beginning to protrude out of the drivers seat. The dealer replaced the housing. However, in september 2008 the air bag light illuminated. The same repair was made to the vehicle when the consumer had a problem with the protruding air bag back in october of 2000. The consumer discovered a recall had been issued, however he was informed his vehicle identification number was not included.
Security light, service vehicle soon light, battery light and airbag light all flash. The radio will "lock" and will not play. The car seems to run fine but the lights flash constantly. I was told there was no recall on this model, but yet it sounds just like the other recalls on monte carlos. My dealership wants $80.00 just to look at it. There is a real problem with the diagnostic system and I am afraid my air back won't work if needed.
The air bag lights illuminated after starting the vehicle. During a rear ended collision at 25 MPH consumer's air bags did not deploy. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
When driving at any speed air bag warning light appeared intermittently.
While driving the air bag light had come on intermittently and the air bag compartment appears warped due to the leather being separated from the compartment. The dealer replaced the side seat air bag retainer. *yh the driver side seat belt had locked up, and the trim panel on the dash had fallen.
The air bag light keeps coming on and off I am afraid that it is going to open up and make me wreck and maybe even kill me and my passage. The seat cover keeps ripping loose and you can see part of the air bag .
