Four airbags later, my wife's car is safe to ride in again.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

This morning, the passenger side airbag was replaced for the third time and hopefully final time.

To recap:

The 2008 Pontiac Vibe was part of the Takata recall, notified in 2016. The replacement GM put in later that year had its OWN recall for not deploying at all. The third airbag, put in last month, was removed that same day because my airbag light was on as soon as I started up the car. After the service writer gave me some sass, they took it back in. Lo and behold, the new-new airbag they put in was defective. They put in my previous new airbag back in. So now today, I got my new-new-NEW airbag. No light. No problems... Yet.

Four airbags over four years...

As long as real world testing is not required...it's a win!

Yesh!

I can only assume you wear crash helmets and full racing harnesses when driving it.

@dr-zoidberg the Takata runs deep in this car.
