Airbag light comes on at random intervals for about 5 seconds, then turns off. Speed, road conditions, and gear make no difference as to when it comes on. It has come on while turning, while driving in town at 20 mph, while at a complete stop, while going over a bump, and while going 50mph on the highway.

Horn doesn't work, had it look at by mechanic, he said it had something to do with the airbag. Then had it look at by a steering column mechanic, he said it was the clock spring in the steering column.

Horn won't blow, had it serviced and they said horn was good. They track the situation back to the air bag/horn connection. Never had an accident in this vehicle. So I don't understand why the horn won't blow. The guy that serviced it, said the connection for the horn is connected to the air bag and I would need a new air bag to possible fix this issue. What could I possible do to get this corrected? it's been like this for a couple of years, I've been worried about this issue and getting more worried about it lately.

Recently General Motors issued a recall on the ignition switch for some of their cars, but it does not include all of the vehicles affected with the exact same problem. Here is a list of cars currently listed, but I want my 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier added to the recall too: Chevrolet cobalt, Pontiac G5, Saturn ion, Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac solstice, and Saturn sky. Many years ago I tried to get a local Chevrolet service center to fix the problem in my 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. They could not fix it, so we just kept driving the car. Had I known it would affect the air bags getting deployed I would have written to you sooner. This problem needs to get fixed by GM as soon as possible on all models listed including my 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. The defect allows the ignition switch to move from "run" to "accessory" if I hit a bump or I use a heavy key chain. That shuts off the engine and may disable the front air bags. The loss of the air bag crash protection is my biggest worry. Please help me get this fixed and warn other people who have 2004 Chevrolet Cavaliers with the same problem.

While I was driving over a highway at 55 mph under heavy rain conditions, I lost control of my vehicle (Chevy Cavalier 2004) and had a frontal crash against the concrete median. During the impact, the air bags did not deploy provoking minor injuries in the face to the only occupant of the vehicle. Two days after the accident I filled out a report with GMC and they sent an inspector to take the information from the "black box" and some pictures of the final condition of the car. I tried to contact the representative in charge (tracy saverino) for weeks, I left several voice messages to find out what to do with the damaged vehicle, already being repaired by the insurance company. I expressed my concern for keeping this vehicle in operation after the safety system's test in real conditions. Recently I was notified by a letter through the GMC claims department that they are not going to take responsibility for the defective system and they did not give any result of the investigation or explanation of the causes that originated the malfunction. They encourage me to preserve in the immediate post-accident condition the vehicle if I wished to support with evidences my claim when they have the information taken directly from the vehicle which was in the post-accident condition by the day of the inspection. This behavior constitutes a disrespect and is a form of abusive treatment considering that the company was reluctant to answer my phone calls and intentionally protracted the procedure to allow the customer to start with the repairs and Dodge the responsibility and conceal a mechanical defect in this vehicle and probably many others with the same component serial number.
