I am new here too...welcome to you :)
I was looking around for a web site regarding airbag recalls for Vibes and came across this one. Just a reminder, if you have an early year Vibe and did not get an airbag recall yet, don't assume you will be spared. Airbags in my 2003 Vibe spontaneously deployed on April 8, 2013 and it was a scary thing. Get it checked.

(removed)! As I also have a 2003 Vibe, perhaps I really should get it checked out sooner than later...

Glad to hear everyone (except the deer) were okay and the truck didn't receive any major damage.
