What owners say
Was driving down the road and the repair safety air bag light came on and is still on
The ABS light stayed on after the fact I had the breaks serviced a few years ago. The airbag light has been on for about a year. Now my break light stopped working, I replaced the fuse and still not working and now the headlamps stopped working. They only work on high beam.
Air bag light is on. Can not open rear passenger door from inside all 4 cigerett lights have stopped working. Drivers window sticks going up and down.
2004 xuv. 76000 gas tank has a leak , ABS module is out and there is no recalls for any of this itmes. Airbag light is always on sold new that way were. Ever able to repair it.
As I was driving down I-75 at 10:30pm my headlights just randomly went off! I was driving approximately 70 MPH and I was in an area that had no lights alongside the road. I slammed on my brakes to attempt to move to the side of the road. After I slowed enough to move over, my headlights went back on. I was so shook up, I'm not sure if my rear lights went off as well. This type of incident happened again this past weekend and I had to pull to the side of the road and actually shut off the engine and re-start my car twice before my lights went back on.today, on my way to work, in the dark, just before I was pulling into our parking lot, they went off again. I also have noticed that when I press on the automatic window buttons, my lights dim and then brighten. Another issue is the dash light for the gas cap turns on and off randomly while driving the car. In addition, my air bag light has been on for several months, does not go off and yet, it not included in the recall of the dangerous airbags going off randomly and causing accidents and injuries. All of the above issues have occurred while the vehicle was in motion.I'm not sure if these are related or not. All of the issues are very serious safety issues and need to be addressed.

Air bags: frontal
- What is wrong
- Certain vehicles originally built with cloth seats that were equipped with an automatic air bag passenger sensing system and later reupholstered with aftermarket leather seat cover kits are involved. Testing has indicated that the aftermarket leather seat covers can cause the passenger sensing system to malfunction.
- Risk
- If the passenger sensing system malfunctions, the front air bag on the passenger side may be disabled when it should be enabled, or enabled when it should be disabled. In either case, in the event of a crash that requires air bag deployment, a front passenger's level of injury may be increased.
- Remedy
- Because a replacement leather seat cover that is compatible with the passenger sensing system is not available, general motors (gm) will repurchase these vehicles in accordance with the terms stated in gm's letter to owners. The recall began on november 6, 2006. Owners should contact gm at 1‑877‑477‑1022 to begin the process of repurchasing their vehicle.
