Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)MY ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE IT DEPLOYED AFTER HITTING A CURB WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN 2 ND IMPACT TO DEPLOY IT SHOULD HAVE COME OUT THEN, THE BAR IN THE HEAD REST CAME OUT WHICH CUT MY HEAD AND I RECEIVED STAPLES IN MY HEAD. WHAT THE OTHER METAL THINGS THAT FLEW OUT OF THE STEERING I DON'T KNOW BUT THEY CUT AND BURNED MY ARM VERY BAD. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON A TWO LANE STREET. WHEN THE CAR BACKED INTO TO THE INTERSECTION IT DID NOT COME FROM MY RIGHT OR MY LEFT. I WAS 3/4 OF THE WAY ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WHEN THIS CAR APPEARED BACKING UP. I COULD NOT STOP IN TIME AND HIT IT IN THE REAR OF THEIR CAR.*DT
MY BLUE LINK CONNECTED CARE HAS SENT ME 3 MONTHLY HEALTH REPORTS OF MY VEHICLE AND HAVE ALL SAID AIR BAG PROBLEM NEED SERVICE IMMEDIATELY BUT I HAVE NO LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY TACHOMETER, I BARELY GOT THIS CAR 3 MONTHS IT'S TOO SOON TO HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND ALSO HAVE TOOK IT TO GET IT SERVICED . I'M ONLY CONCERNED BECAUSE IF IT DOES COME DOWN TO A ACCIDENT WILL MY AIR BAGS WORK?
The Airbag warning light came on soon after I bought the car and I took it to the dealership. They said it was sensor under passenger seat and repaired. A week later, did it again. Said it was probably another bad sensor under seat. It intermittently goes off and on now every few months. I have no idea if the airbag would work if I were in an accident. I haven’t continued to keep taking it back for more new sensors anymore. (I don’t believe every single new sensor they put in has gone bad.) So I’m at a loss what to do.
