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.
My service air bag light came on so I took it to the dealership to get it looked at. They told me it is just a sensor and you need to pay $900 for us to fix it. I don't have $900. About a month later I notice my dash on the passenger side starting to crack a bit and then a few weeks later a see my dash is now starting to bulge and it has a outline where my air bag is. I am terrified that it is going to deploy while I'm driving and my wife or a child is in the seat when it blows. I have read numerous blogs concerning the exact same issue with the air bags and I can't figure out why this is not already a recall issue.

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 have three issues for my Camaro 2010. First and most important is the the timing chain, the chain moved and activated the cam sensors. The cost to change it is princely. Second , the air bag light on the passenger is on. Took it to the dealer and paid and still they couldn't find the issue so they wanted more money. Third, three of the tire sensors when on and dealer wants more money. The car runs with poor performance so I stop using it.
I started the vehicle to run for my medications and the service air bag light was on. I called on star and they scanned it and there was a code u0151. They said that there was no air bag signal and in a crash most likey the air bags wouldnt go off and on star wouldnt be notified!I also have been having steering problems with the rack and pump and the steering wheel is off center to the left!I took the car to lucas Chevrolet and they said nothing waas wrong with either. The wouldnt even call onstar to verify it happened and refused to do the open recall on my ignition keys. I took the car back and called onstar and the code was gone. Onstar says they must of cleared and and sent me on the way!Chevrolet is playing with peoples lives!.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated in the vehicle. The dealer stated that the air bag modulator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 81,000.
While driving my vehicle down a straight road, the air bag curtains on both sides of the vehicle spontaneously deployed. I was not in a car accident, I was not turning any corners, I did not hit a bump, nothing. I was only driving down a straight road. I had the car towed to the place of purchase (john l sullivan in roseville, CA) because it is still under warranty. When the service tech calls me back, they advise that they are getting codes from the black box that the car has been tampered with and/or has had third party parts installed. This is a bunch of crap because I did not have anything installed other than the lojack that they installed for me and the replacement of a part (I'm not sure what it was) that was causing my check engine light to come on even though I only had the car for 3 weeks, which once again they also installed. When I took the car to them on 4/18/14 for an oil change, I let the service tech know that my service airbag light was on and he advised that I will need to make an appointment to come back another day because it takes 2-3 hours just for them to diagnose the cause but that its probably just a bad sensor (basically blowing it off like it was no big deal). So I said ok and kept driving it with the service airbag light on because he made it seem like it was no big deal. I also do not live near the dealership and use this car to get to and from work everyday so I was also waiting for a convenient time for me to be able to take and leave the car with them for an extended period of time. I am now being told that I need to go through my insurance to get the repairs paid for. This is wrong! john l sullivan and/or gm is responsible for this and need to cover the repairs under my warranty or they need to give me a new car. I am also experiencing chest pain caused from the incident and will be going to the doctors to have it looked at today.

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.
As I was driving my service airbag light came on. Unfortunately it was a weekend so the dealership was closed. The next morning I started looking up recals on my car. The result was no recals on my car but I found hundreds of complaints about the same issue I'm having. I took my concern to the chevy dealer they diagnosed my car with a faulty airbag sensor in the passenger side seat the cost was $800 to replace I immediately called gm directly and expressed my concern. After two day and many phone calls to the man at gm that was handling my case they told me they couldn't help me. This is faulty product that is put in vehicles that we the consumers are driving our families around in. Gm needs to get on the ball , recall these faulty parts before there is a fatality. My passenger side airbag does not work so I am unable to drive my car with a passenger. I am completely disgusted with the service and the product gm produces.
Right after purchasing vehicle, my husband drove it, and I sat in passenger seat and noticed that my airbag had not turned on. The indicator said off so I lifted my rear from the seat and sat down hard then the light said it was on. As we drove down the road about 15 miles at 55mph, the light went back to saying airbag off. I would lift my rear again and forcefully sit in seat and it would turn or on again. Since then I have had my car in to 2 different dealers, had the passenger seat sensors changed, the the air-bag modulator changed, and the sensors adjusted. When the auto tech saw what would happen with me in the passenger seat, he hooked up the computer to the car and it said I was not heavy or tall enough for the airbag. I am 5'8" and 165#, so it was not reading me at all. Since then every time I am a passenger in my vehicle, I need to keep an eye on the indicator light and when it is off, I need to pull my rear off the seat and sit down forcefully until the on light activates. The dealership said they didn't know where to go from here and were at a loss. So I am hoping NHTSA can help me. I did some research online and found that I am not the only Camaro owner with this problem. I enjoy driving my car but the passenger air-bag issue is a huge problem.

Service airbag light comes on and stays on when started.
With no one sitting in the passenger seat, I turned the car on and the passenger airbag light flashed on and off. The drivers panel airbag light was flashing. It would go off with some turns off the car. Left or right didn't matter. This went on for a few months. If someone sat in the seat they would have to move around for the sensor to pick up they were in the seat. The airbag light in the drivers panel eventually stayed a solid light and no longer flashed.
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.
2013 Chevrolet Camaro zl1. Passenger airbag indicator shows "off" when passenger is in seat. Occurs randomly since purchase. Current vehicle mileage over 25k. Dealer service has replaced sensor and recalibrated system on more than one occasion. Problem has not been corrected, still shows "off" randomly.
Repair air bag light displays on instrumet panel. Car take to dealership and even though I bought extended warranty the say it's not covered and the want $600. 00 to fix it. I checked internet and there are lots of people having the same problem.
Air bag light came on and will not go off; I have seen several reports online of others having the same problem.
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.
The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that the front passenger side air bag sensor was not recognizing that a passenger was seated in that seat. As a result, the front passenger’s air bag light was illuminated. The contact stated that the only way that the air bag sensor functioned properly was if the passenger entered the vehicle and fastened the seat belt before starting the ignition. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the system was operating up to standard and functioning as normal. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 16 and the current mileage was 1,284.
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. .
