51 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 03/23/2018

Service airbag light comes on intermittently and then goes off. I took it took the dealership and they couldn't replicate it. This has has more than one time. I'm concerned that this can cause an issue during a front end collision. Multiple Chevrolet Impala owners have the same issue and gm won't stand behind this. Same for the power door locks, driver door doesn't always open. Same issue and since they can't replicate it, they say keep an eye on it. Concerned if the door won't unlock sometimes. Air pressure monitoring system & stability trak monitors also seem to have issues. The sensors on the car constantly go off and my vehicle has less than 65,000 miles on a 9 year old car. Concerned when driving it if it's just a sensor issue or a real problem that can cause a safety concerned when driving and Chevrolet doesn't want to do anything concerning the issue. I've already paid 645. 00 for the actuator, 345. 00 for the tire monitoring system and I keep getting told keep an eye on the service airbag issue cause they can't replicate it.

55 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

I took my car in for the last recall for the passanger air bag sensor it did not turn the light off and the dealer says ther is a differant issue with it and that's why the airbag light is on. I couldn't tell you what they did as far as taping the wires or replacing the sensor. But I feel like they did nothing now they tell me the part is 433. 00 and labor and programing is almost 1000. 00. I see many cars have this same issue with the passanger presence sensor module. The airbag light on keeps me from getting the car inspected. Basically if you sit in my passanger side front seat it can't recognize anyone sitting there. Any help would be welcome on this situation.

59 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 10/26/2017

I have a2012 Impala which had almost 60000 miles on it when purchased it. Vehicle now has around 85000 miles on it, have not been in any accidents ever. Recently my air bag light came on displaying that the passenger side air bag is off. I took it into a shop where they provided me with a diagnostic check and was told that is most likely the sensor on passenger seat. After being told this, I took in to dealer ship for immediate assistance reminding you that it is definitely a safety issue if this vehicle is in use without air bags properly working. I know that there is prior recalls for same vehicle, same problem only the recalls were for years 2008-2010. The dealer would not even look at vehicle without charging me almost a 200$ fee to run a diagnostic check on a major known security issue. I further called gm the same day and spoke to two representativeseparate. The first rep was a man, I explained that the air bag front passenger notification came on. He asked if I was in accident,which no, never any accident. He put me on hold then came back and advised me of a recall and he was needing to see what he's going to do for me, put me back on hold just to get another rep , I asked for supervisor. The lady came on and clearly told me the opposite of the man I was just talking to. That no no recall, that I would be responsible for all fees. Are you kidding me??they said that upon previous situations,that an air bag sensor would need replacing costing about $1000. . Clearly there's a faulty, software defect which was previously recalled for my vehicle. Gm needs to care that no life should be at risk if in an unsafe chevy Impala. I refuse to think gm provides unsafe vehicles to anyone. There's way too many complaints of air bag issues with these types of vehicles, god forbid any accidents happen and gm could have prevented the problem and even save a life.

Check driver side air bag light. Dealer inspection resulted in "bad sensor". Wanted $400. To replace. Current issue: away from home. Car started but engine very rough. Check engine light, message "loss of power", check stabil-track". Car would shift into drive after revving up to 3k rpm. Max speed attainable 55 mph. Made it home. Now unable to start car. (new battery) others with similar problems had to replace/clean throttle control sensor?? some were at higher speed when the loss of power occurred. No start is another issue?.

67 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 04/01/2017

At around 140,000 miles I noticed my service airbag light coming on and off. Overtime it continued turning on and off staying on more frequent than being off. I brought it to the dealership for a recall that affected the airbags. They told me they just had to wrap some wires that go underneath the seat and that was it. However this did not turn my airbag light off and I have gotten no help from any dealership or online forums. I believe chevy should recall this as many other individuals with Impalas are experiencing the same issue. As to the seat problem. Where my seat comes together at the low back, it shifts and moves around. The dealership said they could fix it at $900. They said they would have to find a new seat and then put my cushions and upholstery on it.
