Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Chevrolet Colorado

Front left airbag impact sensor is faulty after less than three years of ownership. Not covered under warranty because of the miles driven, and over $900 to repair at the dealership has left me driving without a functional airbag sensor for over a year.

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado extended cab that continues to experience intermittent electrical problems. The airbag sensor light comes on unexpectedly, the fan blower intermittently stops working on settings 1-3, and the front turn signal bulbs go out every 5000-6000 miles. I can usually brush the components under the glove compartment to get the blower working, and the airbag sensor usual goes out after a week or so.

I own a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado with less than 50,000 miles. When I started the truck the airbag light typically will turn and blink. This wa san indication of the airbag system testing itself to determine that the sensors were working properly. However, the airbag light was on. If you read the owners manual for the Colorado, it stated that if this occurred the vehicle should be immediately returned to the dealership service center for repair. Also, the manual stated caution and was followed with notifications which stated that the airbag sensor system may not be operating properly and the airbags may not deploy if a crash occurred or that the airbags may deploy at any time while operating the vehicle. I have already taken the truck to the dealership in March 2007,where they charged me over $1,200, and stated that the parts were not covered by the extended warranty. After repeated phone conversations with the delearship service center and gm customer services the dealer finally repaired the vehicle at no expense to me. This was great, except these disputes over the costs took over 2 weeks with the truck in the shop, and problem came back July 11,2007. It seemed that this was a very serious problem with Chevrolet Colorados, and the consequences of having this type of part failure could be very dangerous and deadly if the airbag were to deploy at a any time, perhaps while driving on the highway at 65 mph. It seemed that Colorado's had many electrical issues which needed to be investigated, and gm should take a more aggressive approach to identiifying these problems which were dangerous for their customers and correcting them. It wa svery hard to feel safe and comfortable driving a Chevrolet when the airbag could deploy at any time because of a faulty airbag electrical system.

2006 chevy Colorado problems with airbags and engine stuttering. Consumer states that airbags sensor can not tell when his wife or daughter are in the passenger seat.

The consumer stated the air bag light did not turn on when the seat was occupied and sometimes the air bag indicator would suddenly show the passenger air bag was off. The consumer also stated on one occasion, the vehicle did not want to move; it went a very slow pace no matter how hard the accelerator was applied. The check engine light illuminated. The dealer stated they found a fuel injector leaking.

Defective design of air bag sensor system. This system deactivates the frontal passenger airbag for passengers of less than a fixed weight, for the protection of small children. However, there is no manual override, and the system deactivates for teens and adults also, of at least 90 lbs. Weight. Thus, there is no airbag protection for my wife, who weighs 90 lbs. Her weight will not activate the airbag system, and there is no manual way to turn it on. This is a serious injury waiting to happen, for any small woman or adolescent or older child who wishes to use the front passenger seat: they have an airbag but it will not operate for them. I was told by the dealership that this new truck comes this way, and cannot be fixed. A call to Chevrolet resulted in the same response. "the unit is up to design code - hence, there is no problem. " there certainly is a problem.

While driving the air bag light warning light turned on, taken to dealership to be fixed, problem persisted even after the dealership said air bag connectors were cleaned and/or replaced, currently unaware if air bags will deploy in the event of an accident. Vehicle rpm's fluctuate down to 500 while vehicle is slowing to a stop during cold weather. Dealership was issued service bulletin and problem was addressed but returned within driving approximately 50 miles, during severely cold weather vehicle is able to stall the engine while in motion.

I was traveling on spruce road in exeter, CA at approx 55 mph when I rear-ended a car that was stopped. I did not have time to hit my brakes or swerve at all. I hit the back of the car very square and hard. The chp officer said that my air bag sensors were hit and the bags did not go off.

I was hit from behind in my new chev. Colorado 2005 pickup. I was hit by a vehicle at 40 miles per hour and no air bags deployed. My dealer said there are no air bag sensors on the back of this vehicle. Is this true? I was badly traumatized physically, emotionally, and mentally. I am under a doctor's treatment.
