My vehicles air bags code showing on display. It stays on whether car is parked and running or while driving. I'm afraid I'll have an accident and the air bags won't work. I question whether they ever worked. I had a dog run out in front of my vehicle and couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting dog. Damaged front on passenger side of car and air bags did not deploy. Now I'm driving on interstate highways, major metro streets, and I'm concerned for safety. I've found numerous complaints about air bags not deploying and major harm to drivers and passengers. I don't want to become a statistic. Reports have been filed over a long range of years and I feel there's enough information to make the call for gm to recall these vehicles and either replace the problem part(s) or buy back the vehicles. There are multiply problems with my car that I've had to have repairs made to make the vehicle functional. As an owner of this vehicle, I'm asking for help.
