My service airbag light recently came on. It started only coming on when a passenger would get in or out of the car. Now the light is on and sends me a notification that states "service airbag" across the display on the dashboard just under the speedometer. The light comes on as soon as I start my car and remains on. My vehicle has never been involved in an accident and the airbags have never deployed. Why is the service airbag notification coming on?.

Bought my car 3 months ago from a chevy dealership, 3 days later my service airbag lights came on. I took it back to the dealership and was told I would have to pay to get it fixed, they said that my airbags would not deploy if this light was on. Why should I pay for a safety feature that should not have problems? its like selling a car with a passenger seatbelt only. I do not feel I should have to pay for my airbags to be worked on. With all of the recalls for airbags I think they missed my year make and model. Its rediculous.

I was the driver and my daughter was a passenger in the back . I broke my neck and had displaced fluid in my knee. She had minor bruising in her car seat. I tried filing against gm and nothing was done. They came back claiming that the system had not failed. I had no further way of proving other wise.

I bought in June of 2014. In October of 2014 went to start vehicle and it would not start. I called gm who then contacted my local authorized dealer and they towed the car in. They stated the fuel pumped had shorted. It was under warranty so they replaced it. The next incident was Jan 13, 2015 where my car had check engine light on and engine reduced power light would come on along with service air bag light. I called gm and got a case number. Took it to same authorized dealer they informed m the throttle body had shorted this time. At a mileage of 44836 this issue no longer under warranty so I paid 464 dollars out of pocket to have the vehicle fixed. The next incident was March 5, 2015 where the car once again had the engine light on, reduced engine power, and service air bag light. I called gm and the authorized dealership where I had taken the vehicle twice before. They informed me that they installed a new computer system to my vehicle and that it should be good to go. 5/22/15, I called to get an oil change and I also informed the dealership that my service air bag light is coming on once again but I am not getting any of the other alerts that had gone along with it before. I called gm and set a case and told them that I no longer felt safe driving this vehicle because with the service air bag being alerted the airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident. The dealership put me in a rental for two weeks while they tried several ways to rectify the situation. June 2nd I was called to come and pick up my car. The gm rep stated that engineering tech department suggested to change the sensors in the seats of the car. I am worried about the safety of my family while riding in this vehicle if there is in-fact and underlying issue with my vehicles airbags.

I was riding in the car with my wife and cousin heading to her brothers house. We had just drove from out of town after visiting some family members and was taking my cousin back home. While driving I notice the car electrical system acting up it would say I needed to put air in the tire or the back tire was not functioning correctly. It also would say I needed to put my seat belt on when it was on. But this was not my biggest concern my wife while driving ran off the road a struck a tree head on. Had she had been driving faster then what she was going I fell as if she would have been severely injured. The airbags never came out and this was a concern because who knows how many vehicles are affected by this. I thank god that her injuries were not that serve as well as my cousin and I, although pain will heal the pain of losing a love one will never heal. So I ask that you look into because this is a safety concern, I know if had my wife been told that her airbags may or may not deploy she would have never brought the car. . . . . . .

I lost control of my car and stuck a tree head on the frame of the car was bent and my radiator was pushed back into the engine. My air bags never deployed and this concerns me after hearing about all the recalls that gm had.
