“Air bag service option keep coming up on my screen while on the expressway and city streets I turned off onto after being frightened by the message. Barely had the car 5 months and it started. It would chime them disappear. This is very scary and makes me view my car as a ticking death trap. I dont feel I need to pay for this out of pocket for this. As it deals with the safety of the car from a company I trust.”
NHTSA complaint #11360075, filed 2020-09, 92,000 miles“Passenger side service air bag light turns on anytime I place something on the passenger seat or when someone sits down. This is a manufacturers defect in the airbag or airbag sensor and has been a problem since I first purchased the vehicle. I am concerned that if I have an accident the airbags will not deploy properly.”
NHTSA complaint #11019926, filed 2017-08, 21,000 miles“We where driving looking at a local subdivision and we were doing 35 miles a hour when we hit a deer all air bags came out and I broke my wrist and my friend hurt his arm as well I was in the passenger side with my set belt on and when we hit the deer the air bag came out full force that I broke my wind shield as well”
NHTSA complaint #10983201, filed 2017-05, 700 miles“My airbag service light keeps coming on. When someone sits in the passenger seat, my airbag light keeps going from on to off while someone is sitting in the seat. Safety issue is that if I get into an accident, more than likely the airbag will not deploy as expected. Faulty sensor or bad wiring I dont know but I see this issue in alot of Camaro forums and online in general.”
NHTSA complaint #10766825, filed 2015-09, 41,000 miles“For the passed few month I've notice my passenger airbag sensor hasn't been working right, but never thought anything major about it. I don't have a lot of people in my passenger seat so it wasn't a problem at first. Now it's become annoying and make me feel bad about my car. I just took to the dealership and they told me what I already knew that the module has a defect.”
