Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Impala

The service air bag light keeps coming on while we are driving our car. And I'm worried that the air bags will not deploy in a accident, or they may deploy while driving down the road. I don't want to disable the air bags but not knowing why the light for the air bags is coming on. I have looked online to see what I can do about this and I have found out that this is happening a lot on the 2006-2014 Impala�s. And people have taken there car in to the dealership to get fixed and the dealership can't figure out why this is happening. And they can't seem to fix it. Plus our service our traction control keeps coming on and the dealership can't figure out why this is happening. This seems to be the problem with this car and the dealership can't figure out why this is happening so they can't fix it. So I'm worried that this car isn't safe to drive because the air bags might not deploy in a accident or if they will just deploy driving down the road.

I have gotten in touch with gm and Chevrolet customer service and my local dealership who have refused to correctly diagnose my issue. I have been charged 99$ per visit to jones Chevrolet and still have the service air bag light on my vehicle. It stays on all the time and intermittently goes away once in a blue moon. It started off with the light just turning on when I hit a bump or a rough road but now even on the highway it comes on. Gm customer service told me that an air bag issues is the customers responsibility after my warranty is up however the air bag has never deployed or the car has never gotten into an accident so I am at a loss as to why it is my responsibility for the repair of such an integral safety part of the vehicle which should last and function without issues for at least a little while if not for a long time after the initial warranty is up. I have now spend in the upwards of $800 out of pocket to try and get this issue resolved but gm has not been cooperative at all. I had to leave 5 voicemails to an advisor to call me back and she and her supervisor rudely told me that they have given me a resolution and if god forbid I got in an accident and the air bag needed to deploy but didn't do so it would be on me and gm wont take responsibility. I am very concerned for my safety and the safety of my passengers. I have transcripts of service and recorded call from them to prove this. Please assist.

Service airbag light came on very slightly then over a period remained on all the time. It was the passenger side airbag that needed replacement but this makes all airbags inoperable I was told. I then filed case #71-1334165200 with gm and audia motor millbrook NY but I was told my vehicle not on recall and I had to pay the entire $638. 01 because of the mileage currently 163,663. This is not something a consumer should pay as it is a basic safety device. This is the original airbag that was never deployed nor damaged.

I am having similar issues as everyone else, when driving on the freeway, I was going about 70 mph and than my service traction control light came on followed by engine power reduced with the mil light, the car speed immediately decreased to about 50 mph, no accident occurred, pulled over and let it sit for awhile than restarted it. It is intermittent and occurs randomly. It is safety concern as this can cause an accident. The air bag light also comes off and on, I had taken to chevy dealer and was advised the air bag sensor needed to be replaced, was about $500 in work, and it was not covered under my extended warranty. I am not able to afford the repair so I am driving in a vehicle where if their is an accident, the air bags will not deploy.

I was knocked unconscious and have no recollection until gaining awareness in the hospital. The wreck happened in robinson township, PA and I was driving home. The airbag did not deploy as it should have. Thankfully, I was wearing my invisalign, which significantly minimized the sharpness of my teeth or else I would have lost half my tongue. It was still severely damaged and you can see the scar. A mri showed the concussion. I had to spend $6,000 on my car to be fixed. It took me almost a month to be able to walk on conrete due to the damage to my body. I have been through physical therapies and still have neck and nerve damage.

Takata recall - I have had my vehicle shut off while I was driving down the road. This has occurred at least 3 times. Gm is aware and has ignored my requests for two years. A few months ago, gm attorney told me to take my vehicle to a gm dealership as soon as possible and the recall repairs would be done at no cost to me. I made him aware that my vehicle had already been sitting at a gm dealership for months waiting for the repair and the dealership refused to repair it and will not provide a rental vehicle. Prior to the recall, I had numerous steering issues and had taken it to gm dealerships just to have them return it with the same problems. When the vehicle shut off, I was in a bad crash and the airbag did not deploy, resulting in me going through the windshield.

Reference# 678792. As I approached the intersection, another vehicle was turning onto the street I was on. I moved over to make room, as I moved over I had to cross over a clump of snow and ice that had re froze making a rough and bumpy transition. I was about 20 feet from the stop sign. I placed my foot on the brake which was hard and unresponsive. The steering was hard and unresponsive as well. I was driving about 3-5 mph at the time. When I placed my foot on the brake it was unresponsive and it took me into the intersection where I was hit by another vehicle on the drivers side front. My airbag did not deploy. The total damage for my vehicle was $ 5,615. 93. We were confused and did not understand why the brakes and the steering did not function and why with this violent of a crash that the airbag did not deploy. After reading the recall notice explaining the ignition recall it made sense that why the failure occurred.
