I was driving on a residential street, going no more than 25 mph with my two two year olds in their car seats behind me. Suddenly and simultaneously, all four of the side airbags deployed (front and back), knocking my girls seats together, the front right side of the car dropped down and started grinding on the wheel. I was able to pull off to the side of the road thankfully. I turned the car off, and when I got out to look at the front, the car door shut, and for the first time, automatically locked me out, my kids inside, with its own key and my purse as well.

The service airbag soon light is on and the passenger side airbag is not sensing that a person is in the passenger seat. The first time the light came on was sitting in my garage. This is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed.

Takata recall I was dropping my daughter off at the babysitters house on my way to a funeral around 10:30 on Sunday October 1, 2016. I pulled out the babysitters driveway and proceeded towards berkshire street. My car was in motion and before I made it to the corner my passenger side airbag burst open my dashboard opened all the way across to driver's side. My radio broke off my buttons flew off the dash and I couldn't tell whether it was dust or smoke from the airbag. I wasn't hurt but when I inhale my chest hurt and my asthma flared up and my right ear is irritated. Also my windshield is cracked on the passenger side. I didn't hit a bump or car it's smooth pavement I was confused as to what caused it.

At start up of my car the driver side airbag would say service required, but it would go away when we buckled up. When in a week it started to stay on. It no longer goes away. Also now y when I shut off my car the radio will stay on even when you open the drivers side door and lock it. I have to manually shut it off.

The service engine light goes on intermittenly. Sometimes stays off for up to a week and then comes back on. Took it to chevy dealership and was told the module for the driver's side air bag needs to be replaced at a cost to me of $730- how can something like this happen when there has been no accident, low mileage or any type of "bumping" to the vehicle. I feel this is a safety issue that gm should resolve. Upon looking into this complaint on the interent, I see there are quite a few that have this same problem. This is something that would effect any driver with this problem if there is a serious accident and the air bags do not go off as intended.

At 55 mph on a slippery right hand side curve (speed limit is 65 mph) vehicle under-steered and lost traction completely, without touching the brakes, it started to slow down and skidded to the outside of the curve (to the left). I tried to get it back to the driving lane, it started to skid laterally to the right and slowed down until it hit a reflector post on the edge of the right lane and stopped. Vehicle information on the dash board read "ice detected. . . ". Although the damage on the right door was a very minor dent, the car deployed all 4 head curtain airbags and 2 right side airbags, engine was shut down and front seat-belts were stuck. Few minutes later, the engine ran normally with the "ice detected . . " message still on. It seems that the airbags sensors were activated for no required reason for a minor dent on the door. Also, the stability and the faulty braking system might be of a great safety issue on this vehicle.

We purchased a 2009 chevy Impala in April . My wife has a tail bone medical issue that necessitates that she sit on a special pillow while riding in a vehicle. The seat displaces her weight evenly across the seat. The problem is that the air bag sensor on the passenger compartment doesn't recognize her weight sitting on the seat, so the passenger side air bag doesn't show it is operative. We returned to the dealer who told us to set a magazine underneath her to make the sensor work. It does activate the passenger air bag "on" button sometimes, however, the majority of the time it will not activate and my wife is not protected. I called general motors and they didn't have any solution to this safety issue, except to tell me that my wife should ride in the back seat! the dealership has no further answers for us. We are extremely frustrated that my wife is riding in a brand new vehicle unprotected by her airbag nearly all the time. Can you please investigate? thank you!.

Side bag did not deploy during a side impact collision.

Side air bag/heated seat,closed the drivers side door and the air bag deployed on its own causing a really big bruise on my daughters side. Contacted the g. M. Dealership about it and was told that they would look into it and to not contact anyone else. Never heard anything back from them. Then about a month later the passenger side seat started burning and it ruined the center console ,seat,and carpet. No sense in contacting g. M. Again because they are not going to do anything about it. Someone will have to die before anything gets done to solve these problems that everyone is having and that g. M. Will not solve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
