My air sbag light is always on. It won't turn off.I don't if it is a problem with my air bags or just the light.it has been this way for years.there was not reason for it to turn on. I've never had an accident,so I don't if it will work when needed. I don't think I should for it. I think this a malfunction and should checked by a dealer at no cost.

My daughter was involved in a crash where air bags were not deployed
I was involved in an accident while driving down a city street in plano, texas. A truck pulled out to get into the middle lane and was caught off and forced to pull into my lane directly in front of me. My brakes locked up after trying to stop, which isn't a problem because I know it is normal. What occurred was that as I struck the truck in front of me, my air bags didn't deploy, and my seat belt had failed to lock. Which caused me to collide with the steering wheel. The speed I struck the truck, which was going about 10 MPH when we collided, was about 45 MPH.
Air bag light on noise when I start car
I was in a serious car accident back in december 7, 2005 with my 2004 hyundia sante fe. The car was totaled and scrapped thus I do not have the VIN number handy. I do still have the paperwork from the hospital and the personal injury lawyer. The airbags did not deploy. I was the only person in the vehicle. I was driving home from work on my usual route on easton avenue. I'm told (reports from witnessess) a young girl came out of a side street and hit me in the rear drivers side which in turn spun my car into 2 other vehichles on the opposite side of the road I was travelling down. As stated earlier I have little recall since the impact knocked me unconscious. I suffered a broken nose (scar still there) and torn left shoulder- which still bother me daily. I was hit blindside and spin into 2 other vehicles- knocked unconscious. I still suffer nightmares resulting from this accident and am currently seeing a counselor specilizing in trauma and ptsd.
