Driving and the service air bag light came on. Took my vehicle to a gm dealership for the ignition switch recall and asked them to diagnose it. They came back and told me that it was crucial to get it fixed and if I ever was in an accident the air bag would not deploy. Quoted me $850 to get it fixed! Told them I couldn't afford to fix it right now. Its been 3 months and I have a 7 year old. I use my husbands truck to take my son to school. I wont let anyone sit in the passenger seat in fear of crashing with no airbag. Not good gm. Please recall this so no one gets hurt! I've never heard of airbags going so quickly (if at all) in a vehicle. Faulty equipment that continues to be ignored.

Service air bag light is on, this is a safety hazard and I think gm should take the responsibility to repair this before someone gets seriously injured because the air bag did not deploy.

I was driving on the interstate at about 65 MPH. I hydroplaned out of control and hit the wall head on. Airbags didn't deploy. My face hit the steering wheel, busting my lip and giving me a black eye, but I made it out alive.

I have a 2007 saturn sky redline and crashed it. Onstar dispatched the call as an "airbag deployed accident". The airbags did not deploy. I bruised my rib cage badly from slamming into the steering wheel, even though it was a low mileage, frontal impact. The car is still in repair.

Air bagsReported February 10, 2014 · 2,190,934 vehicles affected
What is wrong
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Risk
If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1‑800‑222‑1020, Pontiac at 1‑800‑762‑2737 or Saturn at 1‑800‑553‑6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GM’s recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
