Airbag light going on and off

I was driving my 2008 saturn vue straight forward at 45 MPH, a buick encore turned directly in front of me and I slammed into the back of their vehicle. My car was totaled but my air bag did not deploy! I'm lucky I had my seat belt on or I would have gone through the windshield.

Takada recall

Filed Apr 22, 2016 · Airbags · 68,000 miles · OH

I have just paid to replace the passenger seat cushion where the sensor for the passenger airbag is. The passenger airbag light came on in my car and the mechanic discovered that the sensor was not working, therefore they were unable to say whether the airbag would correctly deploy in an accident situation. I am unable to upload the receipt due to file size. The mechanic indicated they could provide details if necessary.

A car hit me from behind and pushed me into oncoming traffic where I was hit by a car on driver front. Air bags deployed and the chemical in the bags caused 3rd degree burns on my hand and arms. Medical expenses were not that much but I have been left with scarring that I think are unattractive. Doctors say it is permanent.are airbags supposed to explode and the chemical in them be released?

I had work done after steering column due to a faulty sensor causing ABS warning light to come on. The. Not long after that my airbag warning light would come on intermittently especially when using my turning signal. The vehicle was taken to dealership twice and was told nothing wrong could be found. So I did some research about other saturn and gm owners having the same problem and it was determine to be a faulty airbag clock spring or connector. Now I am driving a vehicle where I really don't know if the airbags will deploy if I am in a accident.

Very upset that alot of gmc vehicles/saturns are on a recall for airbag problems. Except mine!!! My airbag light came on for the driver's side twice now. First in dec 2014 then suddenly went off. Took it to the dealership in april (light came on again) to have it repaired. Then messed with the wires and got the light out but said if it came on again it would need replaced. Well it's on again and it will be about $1,500+ to have it repaired!! This is obviously a manufacturing defect!! Air-bags don't wear out! This is a significant safety issue which should be taken care of by gmc!!!
