“The air bag light turns on and off for the past 3 days. I have taken it too the dealer in my hometown and the tech there said that this is a common issue for this model and chevy knows that its a easy and profitable one to repair. Someone please look in to this its not cool to have something like an airbag say it need service just to have them say that. The fix cost me 145.59 and it took them around 8 or 10 mins to repair it. Odd don't you think.”
NHTSA complaint #11331890, filed 2020-07, 101,000 miles“Takata recall. My airbag sensor will come on and stay on for a few days. Then after a few days it will only come on once in a while and a few days after that it won't come on all. It does not matter if I am driving or stopped on on any surface at any speed.”
NHTSA complaint #11133184, filed 2018-10, 130,000 miles“My airbag light remains on after having it fixed. My stabilitrac and traction control comes on randomly after having it fixed twice. Then being told it's a sensor that makes it come on, and they are having a hard to reproducing the issue at chevy service center. It makes it difficult to accelerate and makes truck jerk. I have to pull over let the car reset, and then start driving again. Different conditions, and speeds, ever since december/january”
NHTSA complaint #11098191, filed 2018-05, 67,000 miles“Dashboard displays service airbag randomly and intermittently. I looked up special coverage 15804 and brought vehicle to dealership where I purchased. My VIN doesn't have the special coverage but the diagnostics are the same as described. Dealership agreed to obtain dic code which is b0014. This code is included in special coverage 15804 but my VIN hasn't been included. The service airbag light has come on while driving and upon ignition.”
NHTSA complaint #11055401, filed 2017-12, 37,650 miles“The first time my airbag light came on and stayed on for several weeks and then one day was not on. Just recently on 5/15/19 my service air bag light came on again. My car has not been in an accident at all. My windshield wiper fluid will not disperse as well wiper arm hand was replaced lines were checked and fluid in the reservoir and still no fluid available which affects visibility when anything splashing on the windshield. The service airbag light came on suddenly one day when I started up my car.”
