The passenger airbag light come on the dashboard stating repairs needed & regardless if someone is sitting in the seat the passenger airbag light remains �off� if the vehicle is moving or stationary. Today I was sitting in the passenger seat while my husband was driving, the airbag was on & all the sudden the warning sound chimes & the light went to the off position.
Around 60,000 miles, the "service airbag" warning was displayed alongside the airbag light on my vehicle. The warning is displaying at all speeds and whenever the vehicle is turned on. I am trying to sell the vehicle to purchase another vehicle but was told today at a local dealership that the value of my trade-in would be decreased by $2,000 due to this warning which would hamper me from being able to afford another vehicle. I am not able to afford this $2,000, so it seems as though I am driving around with a vehicle of which its airbags are not functioning. I am unsure what more I can do given there seems to be many others with unresolved concerns similar to this.

Service airbag light is on and dealer wants $99 for diagnostics and up to $700 to fix. Found out there are many complaints on this and a lawsuit so it should maybe be a recall! the car hadn't ben driven from October 1st until may 1st because it was in storage and the light came on the minute we drove it.
Around 100,000 miles my airbag light came on. The vehicle was not in an accident, the light just came on, while driving one day. Took it to the dealership and they said the airbag needs to be replaced at an expensive price. Currently riding around in a vehicle with faulty airbags for no apparent reason.
Driving on the highway going about 45 mph service airbag light pops and stays on and the passenger light stays on even with a passenger in the car, 99,000 miles.
I bought this car new and has about 85000 miles on it and took it in because of airbag light being on. I was told passenger present sensor needs to be replaced which causes airbag light to remain on when car is moving. This is ridiculous I looked about this claim and there are hundreds of Camaros with this exact same issue. This is a $700 replacement and does not sit well with me as I've always bought chevys and not had issues before. This is a safety issue and if I have to pay $700 to fix a safety issue that was defective with this vehicle and several hundred others then this is a manaufactor defect that should not fall on consumer to get it replaced. Let me know what can be done here! thanks.
I originally had trouble with the airbag sensor in 2013. I took it to my local dealer who stated they where unable to duplicate the issue. They reset the sensor and it was fine. Now with the vehicle out of warranty anytime some one sits in the passenger seat the service airbag light turns on and off the whole time I am driving. Most recently it has started turning on and off even when no one is in the seat. Returned to dealer for repair and it will be $700 plus to fix.

Approximately 1 year ago 2015 my passenger airbag light said off and has continued to stay off no matter who sits in my passenger seat. At the time I had 2 recalls on my car to be fixed and I told my dealership bobby murray Chevrolet at the time about the airbag light and they said there was no recall on it so I would have to pay myself for the diagnosis. I'm a single parent and live paycheck to paycheck and only have 1 car for transportation, so I'm unable to shell out the $ to have the airbag diagnose and repaired. My car was outta of original warranty and I have another warranty but the CO told me no warranty CO will repair anything to do with airbags. So I've been waiting to see if a recall would be issued for this problem. Now my airbag redlight on dash is on and I'm assuming if I'm in a wreck my airbags won't work I don't know. I had 46,636 miles on my 2011 Camaro. I've talked with dealer over this past year to see if anything can be done and all they say is they don't have a clue wats wrong with my car and would have to take apart to find the problem & I have to pay. I've spoken to gm headquarters all they said is they'll pay a $100 toward diagnosis. Don't know if they'll pay towards the repair any. I don't have extra money for pay for repair and I've researched other people's repair costs and it runs around $700-$1000. Please help me. I don't want to die in an accident because airbags don't deploy. I'm all my kids have.
Air bags light on all the time.
Passenger air bag light and alarm sounding. Passenger seat air bag sensor went bad. When a passenger sits in the seat the senor light and alarm go off and indicate that the passenger air bag has been turned off. The senor and alarm continue to go off and on while driving, turning the air bag off and on throughout the time the passenger is in the seat.

I woke up one day to find the air bag light on. I didn't think anything of it until I went to get the car inspected. The car was rejected due to the light being on. The dealership, who has done all the service since the car was purchased, told us it would be $90 to figure out what was causing the light to be on. It turns out it is the passenger side air bag sensor until the seat, the car has less than 32,000 miles on it. The passenger seat has not been used enough for it to be worn down. The cost to cure this is $729! from my understanding this car is not the only one with the issue. My dealership said they have had another vehicle which had the same thing. I have looked on the internet and have seen other Camaro owners who have had similar issues. I have filed a compliant with gm and I am awaiting their findings.
Service airbag light comes on and stays on when started.
The airbag light came on intermittently, and now, stays on all the time. I don't know if the airbags will deploy in an accident.
I purchased a brand new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro in March of 2011 from a Chevrolet dealer in georgia. Since that purchase, the airbag service indicator light/alert system has activated three (3) times. I took the vehicle to the service center at the dealership where I purchased the car on all three occasions for repair (04/26/12, 09/8/12 and 10/5/13). As of today's date, the airbag service indicator has now activated again for a fourth (4) time. The car has not been in an accident at any time during my ownership.
My air bag light has been on for 2 years now. I have took my car to the dealership 7 times to get this problem fixed. My vehicle was under warranty when I took it in so I didn't have to pay any money for the services. Out of all seven times they never fixed the air bag. Now I brought it in again and they are charging me $109 for services to fix my airbag. The air bag light has been on for 2 years, meaning if I get into a wreck my airbag won't work. Every time my car was released from the service department my air bag light immediately came back on after the passenger seat was adjusted. I suppose all they did was wiggle the wire under the passenger seat to get the air bag light to go off in order to return my car to me knowing that it wasn't fixed. Now they are charging me money to get the air bag fixed when it's not my fault the airbag doesn't work. I believe the manufacturer should be at fault for this problem. In addition, while my car was in the dealership services department they provided me with a rental from enterprise. But they used my insurance company instead of paying $17 a day for enterprises's insurance company. I believe this is wrong because it is the manufacturer's fault that my air bag system doesn't work properly and they should pay for enterprise's insurance on the rental car I was provided with. The trunk of my car also is broke and they are charging me $182 in order to get it fixed but I have full coverage warranty on my vehicle.
The passenger side air bag works about 50% of the time with an adult passenger in the seat. My wife is normal sized, about 5'6" and 160 lbs. The passenger air bag light will also intermittently show on and then off while driving with a passenger, even when the passenger is making no movements. It was been replicated at the dealer, with more than one passenger, including an employee of the dealership. It was also replicated while connected to an odbc2. After four trips to the dealer, they now declare it is "operating as designed" and there will be no more attempted repairs. The vehicle is now out of warranty and still exhibits the issue. .
