Description of the problem | Takara recall. A couple months ago i had a service light on for the airbag. I took it to the gm certified dealer. They couldn't tell me what was wrong, but they figured it was the sdm. Their best guess and to start with that. They told me not to worry, it's nothing serious as of yet. So throughout the course the light would come on and off intermittently. On september 20th after dropping off my child at day care, i went to work early for a meeting. I parked in my normal spot and went in. After my hour long meeting my manager had notified me, that my airbags had deployed. I couldn't believe it. It was off, parked, and airbags went off on their own. If i didn't have that meeting, they would have deployed while driving and would've killed me and my child. I do have video footage of them deploying from my works security cameras. |
