I was driving home and a truck overpassed me on a loose sand area causing me to have to make a sudden brake and my car due to the loose sand and rocks sing around and hit a power pole and the impact to the power pole that was on the corner bounced me car back and my car did a flip and it landed on its front bumper and ultimately rolled over 4 times down a hill and landed on all four tires during the impact front airbags did not deploy my whole entire front dash board exploded and fragments flew everywhere once my car festered to roll the side airbags dropped but did not inflate, at the moment that my car hit the pole my driver seat physically came out of place and and even with my seat belt on it throw me to my backseat and caused the seat belt to me twisted around me, this same issue was allegedly fixed by three way chevy I had made a report during the time frame of june2023 when three way failed to fix my recall and fraudulently reported the recall repaired yet said no work was done to my car I was in contact with u guys already and this is unfortunately proof that supports my initial report to you from 2023 and need this investigation reopened.
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.
Air bags.
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 �service airbag� notification keeps repeatedly showing on my dashboard. This has been happening for the past month. This message appears whether anything is located in the passenger seat or not. My local chevy dealership stated that this issue �will cost a couple hundred� to repair.
Around 60,000 miles, the 'service airbag' warning began displaying from when the car is started until it is shut off. I am interested in selling the vehicle, but when I took the car in to a local dealership, they said they were going to take "$2,000" off of what would be offered for the car because of this airbag problem. When researching this problem, it sounds to be a relatively common problem that others are having - but even more concerning, it sounds like this error may deactivate the airbag altogether which is a considerable safety concern considering I don't have $2,000 to put toward the car to resolve this error.
Service passenger air bag, would not go off. And check engine light keep coming on.
Tl-the contact owns a 2011 chevorlet camero. The contact recieved notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v346000 (electrical system) however, the parts to do the repair were unavalable.

The chevorlet dealer located at martin chevorlet (310) 853-5846 23505 hawthorne blvd, torrance, CA 90505 was contacted and confirmed the parts were not available for t he recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and were not ablt ot conmfirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. (parts distribution disconnect). Jw.
Passenger air bag kept coming on and stayed on.
Two days ago while driving the service airbag came on. I went online to research any reasons why and found that many others have the same problem around same mileage, right after warranty expired. I also noticed a lawsuit concerning the 2011 Camaro airbags. 01/07/2017.
At about 34,000 miles on the car, I started getting intermittent codes whenever somebody was sitting in the passenger side seat about the airbag not being activated. After some time the code was steady and now the airbag remains deactivated at all times, even if someone sitting in the passenger seat. I did have this diagnosed and it came up as the passenger airbag module, the replacement cost is approximately $1,000. I have also discovered through a relative that has access to the mechanics communication board that although it comes up as the module it is a known wiring issue. Apparently this issue has been going on through several year models of the Camaro. I did reach out to Chevrolet about the problem however the only help that they would offer was to call the dealership so the dealership could call me so I can bring it in and have it fixed. From what I understand changing the module does not fix the problem as it has something to do with the wiring system. I'm a little outraged that Chevrolet has known about this problem and yet continues to use the same system in other year models and chooses to do nothing about it. So at this moment I am driving around with out an airbag on the passenger side. I'm not really sure why they have not been held accountable on such a safety issue.
At 43000 miles service airbag and chime appeared in drivers information center. Light stays on and chimes every few seconds. Vehicle was running but not moving in parking lot when this happened. After looking online this is a fairly common problem with these cars. Concerned about airbags deploying on their own, or not deploying in a crash.
Service air bag suddenly came on and will not go off. The car alarms every few seconds and flashes the warning service air bag. It will not go off and prevent me from seeing how fast I am going etc etc. I still have a warrantee on car but I am sure it does not include air bag. It is scary to drive because I don't know if air bag will engage and cause me to wreck. I am terrified. Also the traction ended up frying my computer and after 2000 dollars later my car sounds like starter or battery is drained. Which is exactly what happened before it fried the computer the first time. Very frustrating.
I was leaving work one day with no one in the passenger seat. . . I got a error saying service airbag. I called the dealer ship and they said my car was out of warranty and there was nothing they can do. . This is the only dealership in my town the next dealer is 250 miles away. . When a passenger gets in the car I get the error every 2 minutes it works then it doesn't it will state the airbag is on and seconds later it says it's off and a passenger is buckled up in the moving car. . . I'm afraid it will deploy with my young children in the car. . . Please do a recall on the 2011 Camaro I searched recalls and there is a recall for all 2010 and 2012 Camaro airbags. . . Why skip 2011 if something is wrong with the previous and following year then there is something wrong with the 2011 as well. .
I was turning right while driving the vehicle and then by mistake the back right tire and wheel hit the curve and that made a little damage to the wheel and the wheel is little bit diagonal. Worst case scenario the bearings is broken. My complaint is why would the airbags deploy that moment while the impact is only on the wheel? also my friend was sitting on the passenger seat and after the airbag deployed the powder that comes out from it got on his skin and he got burned from it, since that is a very dangerous and can cause burns if it gets on unprotected skin, and it can severely irritate the lungs if inhaled. The main point is the airbag shouldn't deploy in a small damage as this, I have said that because I experienced it with 2010 s600 Mercedes Benz, the damage was way way worse then the one on the Camaro. The damage on the s600 was to wheels broken and the body got effected and the accident was very similar to the Camaro and the airbag on the s600 didn't deploy and mercedes have better quality and more safety then Chevrolet. I went to the royal Chevrolet in west broad street richmond, virginia. They didn't treat me well they were talking to me as child they didn't even inspect the car they just the airbags did what it suppose to do that was by the service manager. I told him the damage was very minor and the deployment of the airbag shouldn't happen he didn't even say anything he was trying to flip the whole thing on me. He told I have nothing to do go call gm.
They still havent replaced my airbag yet why is this even posable14 years yes 14 years to replace a national recall very unexctable get on them.
