Air Bag Light On problems of the 2011 Chevrolet HHR

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Hhr. While driving approximately 50 mph, the service air bag warning indicator illuminated, which was a safety concern. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced an unknown sensor, but the failure recurred. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

I have contacted my local chevy dealer, because my air bag light has been on. I asked about a recall there told me there hasnt been one. Now I am clearly seeing that there was a recall. My light has been on about a year now and I would like it to be serviced.

Air bag light remains on.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Hhr. While driving approximately 35 mph, the air bag light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor module needed to be replaced. The dealer promised to order the part. Approximately six months later, the part had not been ordered or replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The air bag light was not repaired. The failure mileage was 56,977.

My husband and I purchased a vehicle from a chevy dealership and within a couple of months the driver side door stopped opening from the inside. Therefore we have to open the door from the outside to get out or crawl to the passenger door to get out. This is a safety hazard for anyone who gets in a car accident, or anyone having a car issue. I have talked to many people I know who have the same car and they have the same problem. I would get it fixed but we don't have the money. My husband would fix it but then it would void my warranty. Also had my car brought for ignition recall got it fixed and told them about my air bag light coming on and off. This is also a major problem and needs to get fixed, I have 3 children and they wont tell me which one is faulty if any. As well no money to fix it. $100 deductable every time to just check is not very reasonable.

The above vehicle has been in for repairs 6-7times for intermit anti-theft light coming on while driving and a recall for anti-theft/air bag malfunctions. Intermittingly the car will also not recognize the key(s) and will not start. My concern for safety is when the car begins to ding while I'm driving and then the anti-theft light comes on it will also decide to stall because it does not recognize the key and thinks it's being stolen. (it has not done that yet, but it is a fear). I had the chevy 2014 anti-theft/airbag recall Aug 2014. In Dec 2014 my air bag light came on with a warning to repair. In Jan 2015 the anti-theft light came on 2 times. Walker jones chevy of waycross, GA detected no code for air bag. The anti-theft code revealed unrecognized key but no code to repair (Jan. 2015) the light has come on 5 times and not started on one occasion, since the recall repair. I am told by mechanics that the light must be on for them to retrieve a repair code. However, when the car is shut off the light goes off. The anti-theft light problem can wait months before surfacing again. I believe it could be dangerous to drive because of past cases of other similar cars with anti-theft/airbag issues. I have contacted chevy corporation but since I did not purchase a bumper to bumper warranty and no repair codes come up to show how to fix the problem its not their responsibility.

My car continues to shake as do most Hhr's gm knows there is a stability issue an has refused to properly address this dangerous issue. My airbag light has come on. The back driver side door handle does not open from the inside or out and my seat belt and back floor board stays damp making the structure of the vehicle dangerous and my seatbelt unsafe. Gm executive response is that not all VIN numbers fal into the service bulletins. These cares need to be immediately investigated and taken off the market. The bolt covers in the back seats fall off at a touch and cannot be reattached. They dig into legs. An accident would present a stupid impalement threat. Why are they there. This is a dangerous car. Gm states my care did not appear to them until 49,000 miles. I bought it at 19,000 miles. There are lies every where. There are crooked salesman and gm is still on the scam. Owners need a legal or congressional advocate for the cars we are stuck with that are dangerous and seriously devalued. They have had allot of training in dealing with owners with issues. We need likewise representation. My care is an accident waiting to happen. I have a frozen shoulder from holding it in the road for 3 years. It is a blood trap that you cannot see out of. It is damp, shaking, difficult to control and unpredictable. I could ot sel it in good conscience. Who would buy it any way? what happened to the legal order that required them to report dangerous problems in 5 days or face penalties? they are way over the mark on this one. Just look at my car.
