My 17 year old son was driving on ice and started to slide and he slid into a ditch. No damage was done to the outside of the car, he was driving approx. 15 MPH and once the car was pulled out of the ditch it was driven the rest of the way home. Both airbags deployed, the passenger side deployed w/ such force that it shattered the windshield and the drivers side had enough force that it hit my son in the face hard enough to shove his head into the headrest.

Service air bag light, for the last 5 years, my air bag light has come on in my 1998 grand prix gtp. I have searched for recalls and nothing comes up. It would come on for 6 months and then go off for 6 months. For the last year it has stayed on. 5 mechanics have looked and it and computer did not come up with any codes. Finally I went to a new mechanic the other day and they said I have to carry it to the dealer. The dealer called and said the part is $21.00, but the labor will be $500.00. Something about the harness on the passenger side air bag. Said they had the part in stock, because they have already replaced several others. How do you get a recall on these.

Service engine problems from the beginning. Almost every exhaust-related component was replaced before a new computer cut down on the problem. I still had an episode or two after that installation, but have had no episodes in two years now. Airbag light came on shortly after warranty expired, but I knew about the technical service bulletin on that one and it was fixed for free. Driver side window button died a few months after purchase, but it was replaced free under warranty. More recently two windows have stopped working when the weather is warm. I am living with my power window problems because I don't want to pay to have two motors replaced. No winter problems in the winter. Most recently my lens cover on the right headlight fell off. It cost me over $100 for an aftermarket replacement and home installation, but gm was going to charge me $250 plus labor.

Air bag light stays on. Scanner says do not drive. Passenger side air bag. Called gm and they said there are no recalls on air bags. I noticed that there was a similar problem with the 1999 air bags on drivers side. Has anyone else had a complaint? The air bags should have a lifetime warranty.

My air bag sensor light has come on after I had trouble with my electric windows. I understand this isn't covered by warranty.
