2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Air bags Problems

“Air bag light is activated. I have had my 2000 Tahoe ls in for service to correct this problem once already, but after about 2 months the light is back on. I felt I needed to file this report because of several articles I have read on this subject. I have read everything from air bags will not deploy, to air bags will deploy for no reason at all,both of which should be considered unacceptable and dangerous.”

“While driving srs light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. This caused the horn to malfunction. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic could not duplicate the problem. The consumer stated that problems continue after the dealership assured him there was no problem. On two 500 mile trips the light was on the entire time.”

“While driving consumer hit a patch of ice which sent the vehicle sliding, and causing an accident. However, the air bags did not deploy, and consumer was injured. Consumer contacted the dealer, and manufacturer. Consumer feels that much of the pain and suffering might have been prevented by the protection of the 4 air bags in this Tahoe-none of which deployed upon an impact that crushed the front of the vehicle. Jammed th efront pasenger door which consumer could not open , and bent the car's frame beyond repair.”

“I was recently in an accident and my 2 children were in the vehicle with me. I was in a 5 car wreck in which my vehicle, and the one in front of me were totaled. Upon impact on the front of my truck, my air bags didn't deploy nor did my seat belts lock. My 11 yr old hit his head on the dash, requiring immediate medical attention for a severe laceration which required stitches. I learned from gmc there was a recall on my truck for air bag malfunctions and I was never notified.”

“I took my truck to island Chevrolet for the antilock recall and I mentioned about the recall for the air bags on the Chevrolet Tahoe 2000 because my air bag light has been on. I was told my 2000 Tahoe is not on the recall because it was the model made later in the year. But when they put the truck on the diagnostic they found it had right & left side deployment loop resistance low. They were going to charge me $800.00 and since I had to fix my 4 wheel drive also I could not afford it. But it seems to me that the recall should be extended to the later models of 2000 also. …”
