1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2025

Just few minutes ago around 5:45 pm, Monday, September 8th 2025. I started my engine with the remote start in my drive way. After about 30 seconds there was a series of 3 or 4 violent explosions each with a 1 or two second interval. The driver side, passenger side and both side air bags deployed fracturing my windshield and causing other potential internal damage to the passenger compartment. I feel very fortunate that I wasn't seated in the vehicle at the time as I'm sure I could have been severely injured or potentially killed. I had taken the car in for an air-bag recall a couple of years ago at good Chevrolet in renton, wa.

17 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2021

Gm recall is impossible to get repaired and when I call the dealership there just plain rude.

18 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/22/2021

This recall, # 49152, was received in July, 2016. I tried to schedule the repair with a local Chevrolet dealer and was told that repair parts were not available. I continued to check every few months and always received the same answer. In March, 2021 I received a notice that parts were now available and I could schedule the repair, which I did. When I scheduled the repair the dealer said they would have to order the part and would call when it arrived. The part arrived and the repair was scheduled for 4/22/21 and I went to the service bay at the appointment time. The service clerk said the repair would take about 2 hours and I could expect to pay about $800. 00. I said I thought recall repairs were free and he said the air bag repair was free, but that almost always the truck dash cracked during removal and gm would not cover the dash cost. After some discussion where he repeated that most dash removal resulted in a cracked dash and again that gm would not cover the cost, I left. Ii do not understand how the cost of the airbag removal and reinstallation is not entirely included in the recall repair. Please explain why this is the case and, if it is not the case, please help me get the airbag replaced. Thank you.

21 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2021

My 20007 silverado classic 1500 has a problem with the airbag module . Its a known problem for gm steming from a recall 09184c . Material over sensing and diagnostic module retaining moisture . This recall states that moisture will enter the vehicles padding and wick its way to the air bag module located under the driver seat . Thus causing corrosion and failure of the module aka sdm . I have contacted gm about my problem and that my vehicle falls in the complete discription of the recall . I was informed that my VIN number was not included in the recall therefor theres nothing gm can do for me . I took my vehicle to my local gm dealer and my problem was confirmed by there technician . However it appears that the part to repair my vehicle is no longer available thus leaving me with the burdon of potentially having to buy another vehicle . I do not understand how a car manufacturer can not provide some form of repair option and support for a vehicle they sell to the general public. This problem constitues a saftey problem and therefor I am sending this to you.
