When I was driving driving on the 91 freeway going to work at the speed, approximately 65 mph the transmission started shifting erratically like it was going to stop or it was stuck in the wrong gear. My husband was told to make an appointment to bring the car into GMC weeks later they finally decided that we could bring the car in only to be told that there was no lights on the dash board and they test drove it around the block and did not feel any issues. Than around October I was driving and the air bag light kept popping up on the dashboard and making a beeping noise around every 2-3 minutes of driving. My husband took the car back in to the dealership(penske Chevrolet in cerritos auto square) the technician unhooked the wires for the air bag and said that they would order the part. I was infuriated!! not only was I driving a car that I do not feel safe in but. I have to put my 12 year old daughter who has been having seizures life in danger as well. The technician also stated that there is a safety recall on the defective seat belts as well. One month later the dealership calls my husband and says that the part is in for the seat belt and airbags he installs it and calls my husband and says that the parts are defective. 2 months later today and still have no parts, no solution and the constant run around!.
My Impala air bag light frequently lights up. Then the passenger air bag light says off even when there is a passenger. At other times the passenger seat belt sign is on and the air bag sign says on, and there is no passenger. It happens when I start the car and randomly while driving. I had this diagnosed at a chevy dealer and the car needs passenger presence sensor and electronic control unit hardware. These parts are expensive. The Impala has 41000 miles. I believe this a safety concern for required equipment on automobiles.
The passenger air bag light keeps coming on so therefore the passenger is not protected. My car is only 3 tears old and the airbags should not be messing up. The extended warranty will not cover it. It is going to be $1250. 00 to get it fixed I have a car note and I am not able to pay that.
Air bag light comes on and off{intermittingly) while driving.
Air bag light goes and off on the dash. I had it scannedc at autozone and the obd reader shows "driver seat belt anchor pretensioner deployment loop, short to ground ".
