Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When I drive the car with a front seat passenger the light on the dash keeps flashing from airbag on to airbag off, this happens with any weight passenger. I took the car to my local chevy dealer and they could not find a code or replicate the problem after charging me fifty dollars to check it. They said it may be a seat suppression module that would cost 925.06 and is not covered by warranty.”

NHTSA complaint #10764018, filed 2015-09, 101,329 miles

“I carried my car to the chevrolet dealer after getting a service airbag message I was told that this was dangerous and that I needed to replace the passenger module and sensor. The cost quote was over $1200.00. It is being repaired as I write. However, since they admitted that this is dangerous, since my car has less than 54,000 miles, and based on the enormous complaints, it seems obvious that this should be a recall situation.”

NHTSA complaint #10884461, filed 2016-07, 54,000 miles

“I own a 2007 Saturn AURA with 90,000 miles on it, the service air bag light and chime has come on repeatedly in the past year. Service dept stated no problem.. Now I am reading about others who have had that problem that should be fixed. I have an extended warranty on this vehicle and hope it is covered as the repair is estimated to be about 1000, more or less.”

NHTSA complaint #10360375, filed 2010-10, 75,000 miles

“My passenger air bag light came on. When I took it to the dealership they indicated it was a bad bag that looked like it had been used. The car has never been in any kind of wreck. I bought it from a dealership with 28,000 miles and a carfax indicated one owner and no wrecks. I noticed on GM recall list several passenger air bags are being recalled. My dealership wants $700.00 to replace and I feel it should be fixed by GM for putting a faulty air bag in the car.”

NHTSA complaint #10644280, filed 2014-10, 70,000 miles

“I drive a 2007 Saturn AURA and recently the service air bag light came on. I talked with the service department at Saturn and they stated that it would cost $1200+ to remove the passenger seat and fix the sensor. Also the passenger front door sensor that tells you that the door is closed malfunctioned. When you close the door, it tells you that the door is ajar when it is actually closed. To fix that would cost about $420.”
