I am leasing the car out. I’ve been leasing it out for the last three months since March I went delinquent on one of my payments because I have my mechanic look at it and type my VIN number in and they told me that I was recall he couldn’t tell me why I was recall two days ago, which was Saturday, June 28. The lender called me and told me that the car was recalled. I tried to call him back to discuss what can be done. I have the payment, no response and I don’t have my car and my belongings are in it.

The service airbag light comes on in the dash. Whether someone is in the passenger seat or not, the light came one and it stays on most of the time. I looked up recalls for my VIN, and it wasn’t included in the previous recall. (recall number 36110 passenger presence sensor and instrument cluster) but it has the same issue as all of the other 2009 Chevrolet Impalas recalled for the same exact thing. I purchased this car in December 2020 from the state of michigan so I am the second owner. My VIN should be covered under the recall. I need it fixed and it’s no okay that as dealership won’t cover my vehicle and it has the same issue. Why didn’t Chevrolet just recall all of this year, regardless of VIN? gm saving money at the cost of mine and my families safety is not okay!.

The front driver side seat belt will not latch. Have to press in the orange button and inserted it and release for it to click.

Passenger front seat presence sensor says someone is sitting in the seat even when empty. Also seat belt warning light and audible alert is affected. I occasionally have four small children in the vehicle which is concerning because the airbag could go off when a child is sitting in the front seat.

Both front seat belts sometimes do not click when buckling up. Sometimes you have to reinsert the metal end into the buckle several times to get it to "click". If it doesn't click you can pull on the strap and it will come out causing a safety issue.

When using the driver's side front seat belt on my daughter's car on Friday, 11/13/2020, the metal belt clip clicks into the buckle with an audible click. This appears to be safely engaged, yet if I tug on the belt, the clip pops out of the buckle. I tried this repeatedly and had the same experience each time. My daughter told me this had been occurring for several weeks. Realizing this is a serious safety hazard that needs to be addressed, I called the gm dealer for help. They told me the buckle assembly is no longer available to be replaced. I then called gm directly to see about getting this part and to report the seriousness of this safety concern. They created a service request case number 9-6357435144. They in turn directed me back to the dealer I originally called. The dealer's service technician then suggested I get a used belt buckle from a junkyard. I called gm again and they attempted to direct me again back to the original dealer I had called and they connected me to previously. When I told them I needed to have them find this part for me, they simply directed me to another nearby dealer. When speaking to this dealer, they did not have the buckle assembly also, but were able to locate other dealers that had it. It will take a week for this part to arrive. In the meantime, my daughter is driving in the twin cities without a seat belt as it is defective. I pray she does not get in an accident as it is winter in minnesota. Please notify other owners of this model car that they may have a similar bad experience and notify gm to take this problem more seriously than they have with me so far. Respectfully, glen wolf.

The receiving seat belt connector coupling device at the base of the drivers seat will not secure the seat belt male end. The red button the normally flush with the top of the receiver. You would normally depress the red button down to release the seat belt once locked into the coupling device. Numerous attempts with engaging the belt into the connector is unsuccessful. Tried lubricating the mechanism. No help. It's a self contained device and can not be disassembled for repair.

Hello, I have a general question about vehicle safety as it relates to automobile recalls/safety bulletins for Chevrolet. I own a Chevrolet vehicle and have found out that there are 2 issues with my car, one of them directly related to airbags and them deploying correctly. Chevrolet has only issued a safety bulletin, and has set ridiculous limits to what they are required to cover. I want to know how the dot has not required them to issue a recall to fix the issue on their cost. With this being related to safety I would have thought this was a very important matter. I would be happy to speak further on this. Feel free to email me back, and if someone would be willing to speak on that as well. Thanks.

I was driving at night coming to a sudden fall out of nowhere it was thick put my brakes on the slowdown next thing you know I'm coming up on the tree I looked at the speedometer 45 miles an hour best to try to hit it head-on but it's going up into a hill so. To the right side of the bumper passenger side put a chain on the bumper to the tree so I can pull the bumper out of my tire and pull my truck to safety and parking lot cross street and call tow truck the truck frame was bent 2 in out of frame I had a couple body shops look at it I'll get that estimates but a lot of damage switch on fixing unless you find something wrong my brakes which I think there is knowing my luck I got one of those brake sensors you recalled.

The passenger, rear seatbelt locked and will not release. Dealership stated the seatbelt failed but did not know why, but it needed to be replaced. We were placing grandson into safety seat and went to pull the seatbelt (over shoulder) and it would not release. Driver side rear works properly as well as the lap belt in center. The car has approx. 70600 miles. The rear seats are rarely used. Cost of repair, (without dismantling it) is $385. This failure caused no injuries, however if it fails locking up is it possible to fail completely and not serve it's safety component requirement.

Water leak forming mold throughout car. Dealer refused to check vehicle. Health hazard. Various complaints of the same issue on make of car. Standing water in trunk.

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!.

The outboard drivers seat belt tension cable failed at the point where the cable was crimped (photos attached) which appears to be the same failure why our chevy traverse is currently being recalled, recall was issued five years ago and covered 1. 4 million Chevrolet traverse, Buick enclave, GMC acadia and Saturn outlook vehicles built between 2009 and 2014. In this case, the seatbelt snapped while the belt was being buckled. The car had not been in any accident.

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.

Drivers side seat belt latch malfunctioning. Buckle will not insert properly. This is the second Impala my family had that had this problem.

I did not know who to report this to or I would have done this about 6 months ago. Every day when it is the first time to drive the car for the day, I have trouble getting the drivers side seatbelt to latch. It does not latch for my first attempt. But it may take a few times before it finally does. I have been very concerned that at some point it will not latch at all or that I may not be able to unlatch it. I do not want to drive without the seatbelt. There are times when I have my grandchildren with me so this is a concern for me. My husband purchased a devise to cut the belt if necessary. Please let me know if this situation can be resolved before something happens for the driver of the car.

Cleaned interior of CA while sitting still in driveway. Service seat belt warning appeared in information center display. Had the code read at mechanic. Seat belt pretensioner was found to be the issue.

The radio works when it wants to shows a blank screen and does absolutely nothing. My door chimes, ignition chime, seat belt chimes, turn signal chimes none of that works either. Not sure if it's an electrical issue. However I had my battery and alternator tested. Have been having this issue for maybe 2 months now.

After getting gas I sat in the driver seat, I attempted to put the seatbelt but noticed the lap belt using missing. The shoulder belt still worked. I looked at the end bracket which appears to be broken. A jagged bolt appears to have broken. The pillar retractor, tongue and buckle appear intact. I do have pictures but have to figure out how to transfer from cellphone to computer.

The both rear seat crossbody seatbelts clink the way roller coasters do when going up an incline and just get stuck and beging to tighten. The only way to loosen the belt is to take it completely off and let it wind up all the way before fastening it again. This happens regardless the car is on or off, moving or stopped, highway and city driving. This has been happening for the past couple months.
