| Seat Belt problems |
When someone sits in the passenger seat the airbag light/alarm goes on and off. My mechanic said I would need to take it to the dealer. I called dealer and they would need to diagnose if it is the seat belt or the seat weight sensor. Can cost upwards of $900. I just can't afford that. They should recall since I've researched so many complaints on this issue.
On August 18th 2020. I was interested in buying this 2011 Camaro from ts auto sales in orlando florida. The salesman name is sami. I asked him if there was any extensive damage to the vehicle? he said the driver side was hit and it was replaced. I asked him if there was anything else? he said no. After I purchased the vehicle. I later found out, that he was not being truthful with me. I looked the vehicle up, and found that the air bags had been deployed. Which is a major safety violation. I also asked him why the battery was being drained. He said it just need to be charged. I took the car to a steve's auto electric in clermont florida. The technician told me that the air bags needed to be replaced. At the cost of $3,500. This is a rebuild able title. You can not get this vehicle inspected if all of the repairs are not done, and you must have receipts for every part that was repaired, or replaced. This is a very unsafe vehicle. To my understanding. It's the responsibility of the dealership to make any major repairs before selling a vehicle.
The passenger curtain side and driver side airbags deployed after making a sharp left hand turn out of a turnout upon trying to reenter the roadway. The tires lost traction for a brief moment and the airbags were deployed over my head on both the right and left side of the vehicle. The seatbelt pretensioners also actuated and tightened very hard. The cab was filled with white smoke and my vision was lost momentarily. I was traveling to words the roadway but managed to stop previous to entering the road. There was oncoming traffic and I was also burned and my neck very severely injured due to the nature of the violent explosion right next to my head. My left eardrum is also permanently ruptured due to this event. My vehicle was located on a mountan road in southern California highway 2. Had this happened in a corner on the actual roadway the consiquences may have been much more severe. Again nothing at all was struck during the deployment and nothing has been hit since. I took the car to the dealer that morning they gave me a loaner but still after a week had nit even looked at the car and informed me I would have to pay for the rental. Whe n I was able to get out of bed I returned to the dealer returned the car and took mine back. I contacted lawyer after l lawyer bone of which wanted to help. I was forced to go back to work as I am self employed and have no other means of supporting myself. The problem is still not fixed and my medical issues still persist.
Driver's seat belt very difficult to release.
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that a truck crashed into the front driver side of the vehicle and the air bags did not deploy. In addition, the seat belts did not restraint the contact properly. The contact sustained neck injuries from the crash. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for repairs but was not inspected for the air bag deployment failure. The failure and current mileages were unknown. Updated 11/29/11.
