1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2020

A �service airbag� notification has been turning on sporadically while driving my 2010 Camaro (regardless of speed and/or if a passenger is in the car). When I told my local dealership's service department while I was there getting an oil change, the employee told me it would cost $120 for the vehicle diagnostic and that if I get into a car accident my airbag wouldn't deploy. I think it's unfair and irresponsible of them to charge for the diagnostic, from what I've read online, many other individuals have had this problem with the 2010 Camaro and gm knows about the defect and that the passenger airbag will not deploy. The fact that this is still not a recall is criminally neglectful and I believe there is currently a class action suit against the company.

Failure Date: 06/30/2018

The image you see is an example of an airbag that a lady suffered from your recent recalled airbag tamara. I have similar evidence in the same exact and length and width cut as she does. . . I was a passenger in this car that become out of control, also an ignition recall was proven to hurt people in the 2010 Camaro. I wasn't the drive so all I know is driver lost control an ran onto the side of the road into the grass, flush ground, inbetwen a fence and the road had 100-200 ft to brake and turn the car back on the road avoiding a colvert. But instead major malfunction. Frontal airbags went off at the wrong time, also evidence shows airbag cut my throat, also side and sunroof airbags did not deploy! vehicle went airborn, all ends of vehicle was impacted. Note. Passenger! not owner!.

5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2017

The air bag light and alarm came on and off in the passenger seat when some one is sitting in it, and the service air bag light is on all the time, so apparently the passenger air bag is not on or will not deploy in case of an accident, so apparently the sensor in the seat is not working and in doing some research on this problem I have found this to be a major complaint for this model Camaro and I hear it is very expensive to fix if its fixable at all.

8 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2015

My airbag service light keeps coming on. When someone sits in the passenger seat, my airbag light keeps going from on to off while someone is sitting in the seat. Safety issue is that if I get into an accident, more than likely the airbag will not deploy as expected. Faulty sensor or bad wiring I dont know but I see this issue in alot of Camaro forums and online in general.

13 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2014

The airbag light came on in my Camaro indicating that there was something wrong with the passenger side airbag. I took it to the jim ellis Chevrolet dealership on peachtree industrial blvd in atlanta, GA and they informed me that the seat sensor that determines if the passenger side airbag is on or not had deteriorated and needed to be replaced. The risk I ran was the airbag not deploying in the event of an accident or the airbag deploying at a time that I didn't want it to. My warranty had just expired the year before which means I would have to pay the full price. This fix cost me over $800 and I do not appreciate having to spend this kind of money on a standard feature of a vehicle that is not suppose to malfunction, especially this early in the vehicle's life. It has occurred to me that this has been a recurring problem amongst Camaros between 2009 and 2012. I believe I speak for most consumers when I say that we hold general motors at a higher standard than this and that we should not have to deal with these kinds of problems in our vehicles especially within the first 65,000 miles of it's life. I would appreciate it if general motors reimbursed me this $800 since I this is a problem I should not have had to deal with this soon in the vehicles lifetime. I like driving my Camaro and I would like to continue to drive it safely without being hindered by major repair costs. Thank you for your consideration.

A electrical fuse short has caused the passenger airbag to no longer activate/ turn on when a passenger is in the front seat. Thus, when a passenger is in the seat, the air bag will not deploy. Both the fuse and the module are required to be replaced. No damage or change was done to the vehicle to cause the shortage in the electrical system.

18 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2011

Passenger side service air bag light turns on anytime I place something on the passenger seat or when someone sits down. This is a manufacturers defect in the airbag or airbag sensor and has been a problem since I first purchased the vehicle. I am concerned that if I have an accident the airbags will not deploy properly.
