2000 Chevrolet Impala Air bags Problems

“As I was driving home from work I accidentally went through a red light and t-boned the other car. Although no one was hurt,there was extensive damage to both cars. My concern is the airbags never went off. I have always thought this was strange. Now that I'm hearing about the Impala recall due to faulty airbags it raises more concerns, because now this is my sons car. My understanding is the 2000 Impala's are not part of the recall but maybe they should be. There is absolutely no reason those airbags should not have deployed. …”

“My air bag light comes on intermittently. Had a fender bender in july of 2006, air bags did not deploy. I asked mechanic at auto collision shop if bags looked ok and he replied that he noted no defects. Light has been coming on for years now.”

In my opinion all the fix did for GM recall 14350 was add more weight to my key by putting a larger, heavier head on my key. Nhtsa campaign number: 14v400000.”

“Took car to dealer for routine annual state inspection and advised dealership the air bag light would come on and off during driving and asked them to check this while car was in their shop. We were advised by the dealership the drivers side air impact bag of inoperable and needed to be replaced. We had purchased an extended warranty for this car when it was purchased in september 2002, however, this repair was not covered under the warranty. The total charge we had to pay out-of-pocket for this repair was $352.60. …”
