1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette: airbag warning light

Filed Jul 12, 2015 · Brakes, Engine · 199,000 miles · IL

The engine. The coolant low light stays on even though it isn't.. Have had it checked. They said its all ok. Then I read these complaints. Why aren't they being held responsible for a defect!!!!! Its their defect, not ours. We didn't sign up for $1200 in repairs or more!!! Are you getting paid to sit there and just put these up here to appease us? No wonder this nation is going you know where in a basket. Lack of integrity. My brakes also both went out completely when someone gave me less than a foot to stop when they pulled out of a parking spot downtown. No accident but completely blew my brake. This also seems to be a common failure point in this so called vehicle. The engine does what it wants when it wants. It moans and shudders when it takes off..kind of like me when I get up in the morning. Could kill me though. Airbag light can't decide if it alive or not. One headlight is frosted.will cost $325.00 to fix it. Who has this money??!!that is half of my months income!!!!!!!!!are you crazy????? And no, there is no public transportation where I live. Seat belts don't work right.danger!!! Body is rusting. Doorlocks lock me out all the time. Window don't work.dangzer!!!! I live where there's lots of water.. Back wiper quit. Back lights quit. Fuel gauge quit..makes me want to quit. :( how can they get away with the major safety items..how????!!!!! Please tell me. I need to know. This heap of junk needs to last me at least 20..yes twenty more years.:(

I was driving in town when a car pulled out of a parking spot right in front of me giving me two feet to stop at 25 MPH. I stopped but my brakes blew. Total failure of two brakes. The engine. According to your complaints I might have a gasket to replace because I have a coolant light on and it doesn't need any. The repairman said I needed a new sensor. Hmmm. Electrical. Fuel gauge is inoperable. Coolant light wrong. Airbag lights can't make up their mind if they work or not. The car locks me out repeatedly. The power windows won't work..dangerous here with all the rivers and waterways. The sliding doors don't work. None of the power controls in the key fob work(yes, I checked the battery). Oh..and it has a indoor shower when it rains. Roof failure, fault in design. Could you please tell me if past service bulletins I just found on your site still pertain? There are many for this vehicle and its issues. Please advise. Thank you.

I had to have my airbag replaced last year due to the airbag light coming on intermittently and the dealer announcing that it was a bad sensor. We did not argue with the dealer in that these are airbags and we did not want to risk our family. I am frustrated in that I have recently had a discussion with someone who owns the same make, model and year and has had this happen twice to her. I have reviewed the complaints on your site and can see that others have had the same issue.

I recently purchased this van from a and b auto sales in bellaire ohio. What I thought was the seatbelt light , turned out to be the air bag light.the light has been on sense the day I bought the van and the dealership refuses to fix the problem. I was informed that this van never should of left the lot with that light on, it is considered a unsafe vechile and if I have an accident the airbags will not deploy. Dealership knew this and sold it to me anyway.

Airbag light is blinking on and off. Took vehicle to dealer and they replaced electrical system going to airbag. Problem has reoccurred. *ak the air bag had been repaired eight times. Each time the dealer replaced different parts of the air bag, but the problem still exists.
