I've did research about the defect but no remedy was given. Didnt receive a letter in the mail from the manufacturer to take the vehicle to fix it.

In my garage, I randomly started vehicle and the dash indicator light indicates a problem with the airbag system and stays on. This happened a few months ago and still indicates a problem every time the vehicle is started and used.

My vehicle was in motion one day and I was driving on the interstate and all power in the truck was gone the radio reset the gauges started to go up and down and the airbag light was flashing and saying service airbag. I figured it was a electrical problem so I got a new battery and it still did it so I I put a new ground wire and it still continued to do it and got all new battery cables and still nothing and when it all resets and I turn it off I have to jiggle the positive wire for it to start.

Recall 09184 recently my service air bag indicator illuminated and took vehicle to gm service sunset Chevrolet sumner washington. They informed me that the sdm needs to be replaced because of excessive corrosion and component failure. Waiting to conduct repairs, I discovered a recall that pertained to the sensor retaining moisure due to acoustic padding covering the component, but only covers vehicles registered in specific states, wa not being one of them. Will this recall be extended to my vehicle? this is a very costly repair that could have been prevented if I the owner new I could have prevented it by following the provided instructions in the recall. If it will not be extended to my vehicle is there a process or action I can take to help off set the repair cost?.

I was entering I-75 interstate ramp and moving along with traffic and about 70 mph, the door locks started going up and down on there own, the instrument cluster needles started sporadically going up and down then they show no signs of anything, the airbag light came on along with the chime sound, the stability control light came on, the truck lost a little bit of power when trying to accelerate, I did smell a burnt wire odor. I have replaced the battery and alternator and still the problem exists. This has happen twice before this incident. The stability control light came on and the truck ran really rough. I took it to my local Chevrolet dealer ship and they told me that the number 8 cylinder had oil leaking into it which I see no signs of blue smoke coming out of the tailpipe and have been driving it for 5 months now with no problems except what is going on now with the electrical system. I have been researching the electrical problems with this year truck and it seems to be a wide spread manufacture problem. I have also seen pictures of the same year truck with the same problems that are described above and this ladies truck burned from the dashboard all the way to the front seats. A total loss. General motors needs to address this problem immediately before someone dies. Recall recall recall!!!.

Takata recall dash is coming apart on the passenger side. The airbag light stays on because the dash is cracked where the airbag is located. This is on the passenger side. Fear for safety. We believe it is unsafe. It appears defective. Chevrolet refuses to fix.
