Takata inflators--air bag light is on and stays on even after I had already had it reset, the dome light blows fuses more than it should sometimes 3-4 times a month, the blinkers act funny sometimes and the seat belts hang up and U have to pull on them a few times to get them to release so you can buckle them, the transmission grinds when you put it into reverse, the clutch fan came apart and I had to replace it and most of this happened when I was sitting still I have the recall#'s(N970033--N980043/NHTSA#98V150
The contact owns a 1995 Chevrolet S10. While driving 25 mph, the brakes failed to respond and the vehicle crashed into a tree. The anti lock brake system warning light illuminated prior to the failure and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000. Updated 07/28/16
I had been noticing my brakes felt soft I called the dealer, and they said there were no problems, then last week my wife was driving it and the brakes failed and she was in a bad wreck and the air bags did not deploy.
While driving at 25 mph consumer's vehicle was involved in a direct frontal impact, and neither driver's side nor passenger's side air bag deployed. Vehicle was a totaled. One person was injured in accident.
The airbag light constantly stays on. The dealer says the aced derm needs to be replaced at a cost of approximately $450. The owner's manual states if the airbag light stays on, one should contact the dealer. I pulled the fuse so the airbag wouldn't deploy unexpectedly and as such I haven't had the protection provided by an airbag. I feel the computer modules should be replaced by the manufacturer at no cost to me since they should last longer than 27,000 miles. If the bag accidently deploys while I'm driving, it could cause an accident with injuries to me, my passengers or other persons. I feel a malfunctioning airbag system is a serious safety hazard and should be repaired by the vehicle manufacturer or the airbag manufacturer.

Air bag did not deploy after rear end impact from a 1 1/2 ton box truck and subsequent impact into another parked vehicle directly in front of the impacted vechicle, probably at a high rate of speed from parked to immediate acceleration. Air bag did not deploy upon impact into car directly in front of impacted vehicle. Although seat belts were used, in a rear end impact, the thrust of weight is to the rear which makes seat belts fundamentally useless in restraining body weight towards the rear. Additionally, impact with the vehicle directly in front of me resulted in 200 pounds of weight suddently and dramatically being thrust foward which did not prevent injury to my head, back, leg and arm.

Other vehicle failed to yield right of way. Blazer broad sided other vehicle at about 50 mph. After impact Blazer rolled landed upside down. Seat belts held. But airbag did not deploy. We were to by tow truck driver that it wasn't a direct hit. Off to the right. That it would have to bee a direct hit for the airbag to deploy. I was unable to get information from GM. Seems like with that much impact the airbag would deploy.
While driving experienced sporadic airbag malfunctioning when warning light appears, flickering/flashing and staying on continuously, dealer made several attempts to correct problem. Finally contacted technical division, dlr was directed to replace computer module and check wiring, problem.
Dealer replace the motor and fix the air conditioner a week ago the motor is not working right and air conditioner don't work the air bag light keep coming on.
