1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2018

My service airbag sensor light had been on since I purchased my car a year ago, I am going to sell it but I didn't want to sell it with something that has to do with safety being questionable. I drove it to auto nation yesterday June 11th to see if it was a recall. They said there hasn't been one. I drove it home and started searching online for possible problems with it and there were so many posts about this issue. I searched under the passenger seat because that's what I read to do and low and behold all types of wires under it are completely severed and torn up. I was going to fix this myself but I really don't want to be held liable in case of accident or injury. This must be fixed and it's my belief that it's caused by the vehicle design. Please hold Chevrolet responsible for this repair as it is very dangerous for both the passenger and possibly everyone else in the vehicle. Thank you very much for looking into this. I also believe that when a person calls a dealer telling then exactly what they found d (I called lenlyle on colfax and sable in aurora, CO. And explained to then my findings and they told me that I would have to pay for this repair. They should direct a person to you guys when something that has to do with safety is found to be defective. This should be a requirement that they contact you dot as well as offer a repair imediately and consider themselves lucky that someone wasn't killed because a person came to them with the problem instead of trying to do the repair themselves.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

Air bag sensor has been tripped for the past 7 months, I have researched this recall, and it looks like the wiring harness might be the only thing that needs to be replaced. However, whenever, I put in my VIN number, there aren't any recalls for this. Also, I have received a letter about the gas sensor possibly being bad, however, when I took it into a chevy dealer to have it fixed, they refused to. They told me that the check engine light wasn't on, and that I had to wait until it failed before they would fix it! failure of this sensor means, it could fail in an intersection, or while I am passing someone, or whatever, this is a safety concern!!! I am very unhappy that they wouldn't fix it. Now, my check engine light is on, however, it is because another sensor is bad! the evc sensor now has to be fixed. The airbag sensor was tripped while I was driving on the hwy at 70 mph on a warm day of 80 f or so. The evc sensor tripped overnight when I started the car in the morning. The gas pedal sensor has been a problem for 3 years because chevy dealers refuse to fix it. These concerns are in addition to the other mechanical fixes that I have had to do on a car that has less than 87,000 miles on it! I am feeling like I have a lemon of a car and that this Impala is the worst car on the market. I have had several chevy products, and have never experienced problems like this. What happened to the great products that chevy once produced???.

3 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2014

I was driving down the street and suddenly I heard a popping sound and I noticed the car wasn't accelerating normally so I made it to my destination and I started the car up went to put it in drive and it wouldn't accelerate is was though the car was in neutral so I put it in reverse and it went into reverse put it 3rd gear wouldn't accelerate the I tried 2cd gear and it drove kind of ruff so I then tried 1st gear and and I was able to make it home at 15 mph so I took the car to the chevy dealer I bought it from and to my surprise they say there were some defective parts in the transmission and they could rebuild the transmission for 2100 dollars and I would have to pay 850 to have it fixed because my car is out of warranty as 7/23/14 the car has the airbag service light and tire sensor light that appears on the dashboard .
