2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Air Bags Problems

SERVICE AIRBAG light came on last week. Took vehicle to dealership to fix. Parts are discontinued so airbag cannot be fixed per Ferman Chevrolet dealership. Also told me that airbag will not work if in an accident.

AROUND 2019, I NOTICED THAT EACH TIME I STARTED MY TRAILBLAZER, THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT WILL FLASH FOR A MINUTE, THEN GOES OFF, THEN COMES RIGHT BACK ON AND STAYS ON. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DAYS WHEN IT ONLY FLASHED THEN WENT OFF, BUT AFTER ABOUT A FEW MONTHS, THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT REMAINS ON. HAVE TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES. AFRAID THAT IF I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY!

HIT A POT HOLE IN MY TRAILBLAZER AS AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN IMPACT OF ANY KIND, BODY PANELS ARE ALL FINE AND IN GOOD SHAPE BUT THE BUMP JARD THE AIRBAG SENSOR ENOUGH THAT IT DEPLOYED THEM. THIS IN MY EYES IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND COULD BE A BIG RISK FOR SOMEONE BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE MALFUNCTIONING.

ALL OF SUDDEN MY TAIL GATE WILL NOT OPEN UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON 5 OR MORE TIMES AND THEN AT TIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK ALSO MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTING BLINKING AND NOW IT WON'T GO OFF. I CALLED ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T ONE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ON LINE IT SHOWED IT WAS. MY CASE NUMBER IS 4864379595 I AM GOING THREW CANCER TREATMENTS AND NEED MY VEHICLE PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS UNDER RECALL AS I CAN'T PAY RIGHT NOW TO GET IT FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. THEN IT STAYED ON FOR GOOD. WHEN I HAD IT INSPECTED. THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR LOCATED WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE WAS OVER LOOKED UNDER THIS RECALL AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE ME AND MY FAMILY IS SAFE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED BACK IN JULY 2017. I NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE. ITS AWKWARD FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. I'VE BEEN DRIVING GM VEHICLES FOR SOME TIME AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS.

SERVICE AIR BAG WITH WOULD PERIODICALLY COME ON AND GO OFF DEPENDING ON SPEED AND TURING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FINALLY STAYED ON FOR GOOD. WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION AND THAT IT WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR A WHILE AND FINALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. SAID THERE WAS A FAULTY PIECE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A COUNTRY PAVED ROAD WHEN HIS SIDE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. HIS RADIO AND LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. HE WAS ABLE TO GET HOME THE MILE OR SO, PARKED THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN HE WENT TO START IT THE NEXT DAY NOTHING WORKED. HE WAS STARTLED BY THIS HAPPENING AND WAS LUCKY HE DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR GET HURT. HE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT VERY EASILY DUE TO THE VISIBILITY. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. - UNKNOWN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVY DEALER BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSIS IT SO AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT AWARE OF EXACTLY ALL THAT WAS EFFECTED WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DENIAL FROM OUR INSURANCE. *TR

NOT EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER LT 5.3, THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND SAYS AIRBAG FAULT, IT'S NOT EVERY DAY BUT MOST OF THE TIME, I'M WORRIED BECAUSE WHAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE TILL NOW. IT ONLY HAS 134,000 MILES, NOT SOMETHING I THINK SHOULD GO BAD, ALSO SOUNDS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING AN ISSUE. IS THIS A FUSE, A SENSOR? WHAT CAN CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN I DON'T LIKE DRIVING AROUND WITH NO AIRBAGS. *TR

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, I WENT TO TURN THE AC ON AND THERE WAS BEEPING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, ABS/STABILITY, AND A FEW OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON. THE OVERHEAD INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AND THE AIR WILL NOT BLOW OUT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP IS TO TURN THE A/C OFF OR EITHER TURN IT UP TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL (5). IF IT IS ON 5 AND I TRY TO TURN IT DOWN, THE BEEPING STARTS AND THE LIGHTS COME ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST HAPPEN RANDOMLY EVEN IF I DON'T TOUCH THE AIR. ONCE WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH, IT RANDOMLY HAPPENED AND MY CAR STALLED AND SLOWED DOWN AS IF IT WERE CUTTING OFF WHICH SCARED ME SO BADLY BECAUSE IF MY CAR HAD CUT OFF I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, OR EVEN WITH IT SLOWING DOWN THE WAY IT DID. MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST STARTED SLOWING OUT OF NOWHERE. ALSO, THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AND THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. I LOVE MY TRUCK SO MUCH, BUT AM CONSIDERING GETTING RID OF IT IF I CANNOT GET ANY ASSISTANCE WITH GETTING IT FIXED BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR
