The airbag light came on. I was told the airbag will now only work if the steering wheel is straight. If it is turned and I get hit, the airbag will not deploy.
Air bag light is on and will not go out. Instrument panel malfunctioning speedometer , temperature and voltage all not working. Headliner falling.
Air bag sensor light is on.
Started up my car and the air bag light went on and won't go off. Also having problems with electrical lights in the dash. Part of the lights for the speedometer/air-conditioner buttons are only 1/2 working and part of the lights on the radio don't light up either. After reading several of these it sounds like this is a big issue with this model of car.
Started the car one morning and the air bag light came on and won't go off. Don't know if this is serious or not . Can't afford to have it checked right now. There is a big airbag recall right now, just wondering if my car could be a danger. Also our temp gauge has stopped working and our radio dash light has went out ..maybe a dash board problem with these vehicles
Air bags light is on all the time, electrical problems and had the ignition key changed in 2010 at a chevrolet dealership.
