“I have a 2007 chevy Colorado that airbag light remained on, after searching the web found problem information that problem could be with wires that are in the door with the extended cab model. I had cut the cover in the extended door to reveal the wires to find that 4 wires were broken. I spliced together the wires and the air bag light went off. I open and close this door every day but do not think that wires should break. I went 4 months not knowing airbags would work or not. I think this is a big issue .”
NHTSA complaint #10572967, filed 2014-03, 100,000 miles“Son was driving the car on the expressway. Roads were wet and slippery. He rear-ended another vehicle. The damage to the other vehicle was minimal, but was extensive to our vehicle (in excess of $6,000.00). Again, the airbag did not deploy, although the impact caused the front hood of the truck to fly-up and hit the windshield.”
NHTSA complaint #10572636, filed 2014-03, 70,000 miles“Another driver operating the truck. Speed limit was 25 MPH, she missed the curve, went down a ditch, snapped a guide wire coming out of the ditch, and ended up in a in a front lawn. The airbag did not employ, even though there was damage to the front of the truck in the approximate amount of $3,000.00.”
NHTSA complaint #10572635, filed 2014-03, 60,000 miles“The wiring harness between the truck body and the rear driver side half-door (extended cab) passes through a flexible rubber housing. The pair of wires to the seat belt tensioner (part of the airbag system) were broken completely in half mid-way through the rubber housing from normal use of opening and closing the door. Airbag light on dash stayed on permanently which prompted me to locate the problem. Only found it because the radio speaker in that same door had stopped working as well. Found that it had broken wires in the same location along with the airbag system wires. …”
