“My vehicle was stationary and turned off. I went to get in the car start it and leave however when I tried to start the car it immediately started to ding over and over with the a message error: driver airbag . It also would not let the car start. I had the battery tested its fine and the starter isn't even 6 months old nor the alternator. All the electronics in the car turn on lights, radio, windows up and down, etc. It says to start put my foot on the brake as well which I obviously did and it still says the same error message. …”

“As I was making a u-turn I could hear a noice from my steeling wheel and immediately the airbag light came on and read error: airbag . I couldn't help but panic thinking of all the possibilities that can happen. I noticed the buttons on the steering wheel weren't working and later realizing my horn didnt work either.

They insisted that they had already worked on an airbag recall (69y5) my car had and that the diagnosis found numerous codes. …”

“Loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion on city street and loss of power from stationary position at red traffic light to a in motion green light pressed on pedal with no motion. This happened from the day I purchased the car while salesman was in the car explaining the cars specifications . When it happened he said its part of the next feature of car. He asked me to leave the car in a stationary position on incline and remove my foot off the brake and allow the car catch gear without pressing on the gas pedal that it drove up on its power and not mine. …”

“My Cruise Control unit will not engage. And I have (6) six warning lamps showing every time I operate the car. With these lamps showing on the info system screen, the cruise control Will not engage! I asked the dealership about it. And was told that the wheel bearing unit has moved away from where it is bolted on. And now it is touching the Air Bag control module. That's why I've got six lamps showing up on the center info screen, every time I operate the car. And on another incident. I was traveling on the interstate and their was some water that had collected in a dip between hills. …”

“I started to hear a weird noise when turning. A couple of days later the airbag light came on and the horn and buttons on the steering wheel stopped working. It's very dangerous to drive without a horn and it's scary to know that your airbag won't deploy in a crash. This happened at 50,000 miles.”
