I have a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado extended cab that continues to experience intermittent electrical problems. The airbag sensor light comes on unexpectedly, the fan blower intermittently stops working on settings 1-3, and the front turn signal bulbs go out every 5000-6000 miles. I can usually brush the components under the glove compartment to get the blower working, and the airbag sensor usual goes out after a week or so.

On 10/15/2004, I began to turn the ignition key of my 2004 Chevrolet Colorado automobile. The vehicle was parked. Just as I turned the ignition, the steering wheel airbag inflated. The steering wheel airbag inflated for no reason. The vehicle is still under warranty since I have only owned the vehicle several weeks. The manufacturer will be replacing the airbag under warranty. The airbag inflation did not result in serious injury. The only injury was a rug burn like feeling to the face and a sore left eye and a sore left hand. Neither appear to be serious.
