In owners' own words
On june 10, 1996, consumer started the engine and the air bag deployed, bruising her neck and chest. The abs warning light would go on and off for up to three months then in sept 1996, the air bag deployed again. Dealer said there must be a defect in the airbag, but they could not detect it unless the light would come on again. Air bags
Consumer received an recall letter to have the air bag wiring repaired so the fuses would not blow. Consumer has had this repair done. But now when the rear winshield wiper is activated, the system shoots the fuse, consumer says that this was not happening before the work was done. Dealer has been contacted. Air bags
Upon receipt of recall for the airbag consumer took the vehicle into dealership for inspection and/or repair. Dealer concluded that the vehicle was fine. Consumer insisted that every time the rear wiper is turned on the fuse blows on the air bag circuit. Manufacturer has been notified. *Ak Air bags
