I was hit head on and all the other airbags went off except for my steering wheel airbag. I broke my nose and ripped of part of my lip and needed over 30 stitches. I also job have painful scaring on my face. I was wearing my seat belt as well. The insurance company has the vehicle now so I don't know if it's available for inspection I don't know if it's been inspected by anyone. I didn't see any specific warning lights connected to the steering wheel or airbag system Although there were lights for the tire sensors.
I took my car into the dealer twice for the oil consumption issues during the period they offered it. I was turned away both times and only after the "repair period" ended was I informed that there was one to begin with. I've read about multiple people having the recall performed who had the same problem as me. My care now needs two to three quarts of oil per month and I was screwed out of my repair. Now we have the airbag light. I've read quite a few things online about temporarily repairing this airbag harness myself but thats not a solution to the actual problem. My children are in this vehicle daily and not having a fully functional airbag system is not at all safe.
