This has been going on over a year now and the place that I just had an oil change said that I should file a complaint. I believe my airbag system is defective. Specifically with the front passenger side of the vehicle. I see many similar issues online and some have been recalled and fixed for free by the manufacturer. The chevy dealer I went to said that chevy said it is not part of a recall and that I am responsible for the full cost of replacement. Over $2000. 00. I think that chevy needs to fix this issue and cover it in full. The airbag system goes on and off at will. Works and doesnt work. Especially any change in temperature or a person moving around in the seat makes the warning light go on and off. There is definetly a problem with their system and/or wiring.

The issue started out as a warning from the side detection system. In the past week, the issue escalated to all the warning lights on the dash coming on, and then all electronics going dead/dark. The turn signal indicators have no lights and no sound, the radio system is dead, the speedometer and gas gauge are dead. After sitting a few hours, it seemed that things "reset" to just the side detection warning. Most recently, all the electronics are acting strange. Pushing the button on the door handle to unlock it, does nothing to the door lock, however, the display screen shows "tire learning active". When attempting the start the car by pushing the start button, nothing happens. If I put the fob in the slot inside the armrest, it will eventually start, but again all display functions are dead as is the environmental controls (no blower - no defrost- no good on a cold rainy day). Again the signal indicators are dark and silent. The indicator light for the airbags is now illuminated as well. Gm had a short lived (and seemingly secret) extended warranty for the side detection system have this exact issue when water got into the sensors, but that expired nearly a year ago. As this issue makes the car unsafe to drive, it seems that it should be a full recall to address this safety concern.

When my side detection monitoring system failed a few months ago I took it to a local dealer. They responded telling me that, unfortunately, the design for this sensor module/harness is completely flawed. The sensors are located in the rear bumper, with plastic housing. There is no weather protection, even though these are directly behind the tires and are exposed to all weather - plus I live in IL so we're talking rain, snow, salt, etc. It's two sensors and the harness. I couldn't afford the $1200 repair, so I figured I would just have to deal with the loss of the safety feature and ignore the warning light. Last week, all of my warning lights came on - theft detection, front camera, airbag, stabilitrack, etc. My windshield wipers, turn signals, locks and headlights were all going haywire, and at one point while driving all of my gauges went to zero (no speed limit, rpm, gas gauge, anything) and my heat went out, turn signals stopped working and my headlights went out. Immediately took it to another dealership hoping that maybe my battery (factory original)/wiring might be the cause. No such luck. As it turns out the side detection modules are now corrupting all sensors and electrical systems including my air bags! the dealership confirmed that the side detection modules had failed and were causing the chaos that is occurring with all of my other warning systems, and that my air bags no longer worked. My air bags don't work because of this, nevermind the extreme danger in having a system go haywire while I'm driving! I'm at nearly 100,000 miles so I'm well past any warranty that would cover this, but I have been reading forums and carcomplaints and it turns out that this is a really common issue. The cost of the diagnostics, cost of the repair, and anticipated costs of subsequent repairs is ridiculous considering it is a known design flaw.
Good morning, I'm unsure of how often this is happening, but I believe it could be a safety issue, especially with the recent takata air bag issues. I had (but have since sold) a 2017 Chevrolet Impala that my husband was driving on July 4, 2018 when a warning light and sound on the dashboard indicated there was an issue with the air bag system. We also received an email from onstar that day indicating we should take the vehicle into the dealer by the next day. We took the vehicle to watson Chevrolet in tucson that afternoon. The vehicle was diagnosed as having a faulty airbag sensor with an estimated cost of approximately $1100. 00 which we would have to pay since our vehicle had over 36,000 miles on it. I work at a Ford dealership and was told by our service manager that this sort of issue is covered by Ford motor corp. Under their powertrain warranty. I don't know the reason for this, but I would guess it's because Ford feels it would be a safety issue if repairs weren't made by a customer due to cost. We are fortunate enough to have been able to pay for the repairs, but I wonder how many vehicles are on the road that have had this issue but have gone unrepaired due to cost. I also wonder if there have been enough issues with the sensors to warrant a recall. Thank you very much for your time.

Service air bag warning light keeps intermittently coming on during operation of vehicle. The car has been serviced twice for this problem. Underseat harness connections were tightened, but that has not corrected the problem. Problem began 4 months ago. Warning light will clear once engine shuts off. A complaint has been filed with gm. At this time, gm is unable to tell me if the air bag would function as designed or even deploy at all in the event of an accident.
