Eight problems related to air bag light on have been reported for the 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
All of a sudden while driving one day the service air bag light came on and stayed on. I was told that the air bag could deploy at any time and not work if we where in a crash. I called gm about the issue after looking on line and realising my truck was not the only one experiencing this issue and was told they would not pay to fix it as there is no recall. The truck was never in an accident and has lower mileage then allowed. This is definitely and issue. It is supposedly a module under the front seat or wherever it is located, as some trucks it is different places. They should be required to pay for this issue.
Air bag light is on. While airbag light is on, airbags do not function. This is a known issue by Chevrolet. Hundreds of people experience the same problem. Needs a recall. This is a safety issue and should not cost the consumer to repair.
The service airbag light would come on intermittently. There would be a low thump thump sound emanating from the audio speakers. The lock door chimes stopped sounding.
Air bag light keeps showing up every couple days then it disappears I believe gm is aware but will not fix.
I own a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche, my speedometer is stuck at 50 mph, I cannot accurately gauge my speed, I also have a service air bag light that will not go off. These are some serious safety issues and a recall should be issued.
The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer because the air bag warning indicator was illuminated. After the vehicle was diagnosed, he was informed that the passenger side air bag was not working because the module was defective. There was also too much compression in the air bags, which caused the warning indicator to illuminate. The vehicle is no longer under warranty and the manufacturer would not assume responsibility for the repairs. They refuse to repair the vehicle for free and the contact believes it is due to a manufacturer defect; therefore, it should be repaired. The failure mileage was 78,000 and current mileage was 79,228. Updated 11/14/08 updated 11/19/08.
