On February 26, I was driving my 2010 Equinox to my mechanic for an annual vehicle inspection and to find out why my service airbag light was on. As I was driving smoke started flowing out from under the passenger side dashboard. I stopped the car and got out thinking it was going to go on fire. After several minutes, the smoke stopped and I proceeded to my mechanic. On March 10th my mechanic had the car in his garage and was completing the inspection and he decided to investigate why the car would have been smoking. He decided to let the car idle in the shop to see if it would start smoking. As moments passed the mechanic told me he heard a 'firecracker' sound and looked to see that the driver's side airbag deployed without reason. I was told by the mechanic to take it to a chevy dealer. I made an appointment and told the service department this story and they were unsure why this would happen. This vehicle does not yet have a recall for this problem and the dealer or manufacturer needs to rectify it without cost to the owner. I can only imagine the horror that would have ensued if this happened while I was driving.

Service airbag light keeps coming on. It doesn't matter if I am stopped or driving down the road.
My airbag light is on for no obvious reason. . . I have no idea whether or not it is a takata. There are many complaints online about this year make and model. . . Apparently this is a common problem? there needs to be a recall because the manufacturer needs to pay for this.
The service airbag light comes on randomly. This seems to be a common problem with the 2010 Equinox, why is there no recall on this since it disables the airbag system? since this is a serious safety concern why has the national highway traffic safety administration not done anything about it?.

My wife and I purchase this vehicle in around mid-January of 2014. Two weeks after leaving the dealership with the vehicle the service airbag light come on. We took it into the dealership to have it fixed. After a day or so we received the vehicle back and the alert was gone. Two weeks after taking it in to get fixed, the alert pops up again. To make a long story short on 12 may 2014 the service airbag light has popped up for the fourth time in four months. Is there some sort of recall on this vehicle or this part? I have not been able to find anything and all we can do is take the vehicle in to get fixed. Luckily the last time that we took it in the service department and the alert came up while it was in their possession. Regardless, the safety of my family is in danger due to the safety bags not being engaged when the alert pops up.
I having problem with the air bag light on the dashboard, on and off by time.
The service air bag light came on. It appears the sensor under the front passenger seat is defective and there is a recall from may 30, 2012 affecting only 437 vehicles from model year 2007!: NHTSA campaign id number: 07v344000. This is a common problem for more recent gm vehicles.
I have had many problems with this vehicle regarding electrical, audio, airbag lights coming on and now engine oil. The engine oil was just detected at 80,000 miles however I have complained that my car does not run right since the beginning. They claim that the engine is burning off the oil however I am very good at getting my oil changes around 3000 miles and where is the oil going? its not in my garage or on the engine? I have had my car completely go blank on the dash no indicator lights etc. I have filled a complaint with chevy to no avail. I am very disappointed that now my engine needs to be replaced or maybe just he pistons? at 80,000 miles? this has been going on since I owned it from sept 2009! I think chevy needs to step up and make things right! disappointed. Just for the record I bought this car in California.
The service airbag light came on so I took the vehicle to the closest chevy dealership and they replaced the airbag connectors under both front seats. This was a new vehicle at the time so the connectors should have been new. After 2 and a half years later the service airbag light comes on again. I took it back to the dealership and they applied a dielectric gel to the connections. As I waited for my vehicle, I went online and noticed this has been a safety issue for this vehicle and should have been addressed with this car company as a recall. I was thinking about purchasing a chevy impala but I might have to rethink this decision.
Air bag light on the driver's instrumentation illuminates when temperatures drop below mid-20's. This has happened beginning in late November or early December 2010. The date below (Jan. 23, 2011) is today's date, since it happened again this morning. I have taken it to the dealer, which says only that there was a code but no indication as to what is wrong. Dealer reset code. Also contacted onstar when it occurred and received a code back (b0023). Dealer verified that they pulled the same code. We purchased the car in November 2009, but had no problems the first winter. We are now in the second winter, when the problem showed up. It doesn't matter if someone is sitting in passenger seat or not, and it doesn't matter if we are driving or parked (it actually comes on when we start the car in very cold weather, so the car is not moving at this point). But the air bag light does illuminate (almost a guarantee) when the temperature drops below 25 degrees. After driving several miles or several minutes, the light goes out. I suspect (and the dealer concurrs) that it may be wire harness or sensor contacts that are separating in extreme cold (due to metalic contraction). Dealer said the fact that the light comes on should be no problem if it goes off after a while. I challenged him on it and added, "yes, as long as the vehicle is not involved in an accident during that time," at which statement dealer service man hem-hawed around. I think this is an issue.
