| My wife had an accident a few years ago and the air bags did not deploy. we were told that the air bag did not deploy because it was not a direct frontal collision. recently we had to take our car to the dealership because the check engine light stayed on. also every once and a while the air bag light would bleak and go off. it ended up being the electronic control module $446.00 to repair. the dealership stated that this needed to be repaired right a way because the air bags would not deploy. if it was not for the check engine light staying on we could have had an accident not knowing that there was a defect with the restraint system. *nm | |||
