What owners wrote
Car was traveling approx.35-40 MPH and hit two stopped cars. Airbags did not deploy and seat belts did not lock up, causing driver to hit steering wheel suffering from concussion and acute herniated c5-6 in neck. An accident report was filed with manufacturer and the company fixing car did not understand why the airbags did not deploy.
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.
