1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2025

The bus is always parked on the road, my phone slid off the console, when I reached for it, I accidentally moved the truck to the right, and before I hit the bus, I did not have enough time to correct my mistake. I have forgotten everything that occurred from Saturday the 18th up until Friday the 24th. I kept massive migraines the entire week. Now I just have some headaches. The part that scared me the most, is when I realized, not one single air bag deployed. I personally, am so thankful I was able walk away from it. I will never buy another chevy silverado.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2024

Hi, I had all my side curtain airbags deploy in my truck without any accident and under normal driving conditions. The fronts did not deploy. I had no warning lights or airbag light prior to this event. I spoke with my insurance and they wanted to have my truck inspected. I took it to my local gm dealer. They inspected my truck and looked at the data from the airbag system and determined that they found no reason for why they should've gone off. The force from the airbag was such that I was in a daze and did not know what was going on. If this would've happened on the freeway during heavy traffic I am certain I would not have stayed in my lane and caused a very serious crash involving other vehicles. Lucky this was not the case and there were no cars close to me. The next morning when I woke up I had severe neck pain and an impaired memory. I went into urgent care to get looked at. They performed an x-ray and said it was okay and that it was just severe whiplash.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2021

On December 14th 2021 while traveling on interstate 90 from hardin montana to billings montana I hit a large granite boulder that had fallen off of a semi, I had my cruise control set where I always set it at 77 mph. The boulder was around 500 lbs and was roughly 30 inches tall by 24 wide. It launched my truck in the air and I flew about 17 to 20 feet before touching down. I impacted the boulder just to the right of center of the bumper and it tore everything from the bumper to the firewall. Extremely violent impact and I hit my head on the sun visor and chin on the steering wheel. Not one of the airbags deployed. The first person on scene was montana highway dept employee who was one minute behind me. He and myself as well as the responding highway patrol were shocked that the airbags did not deploy. Since that accident I have had multiple things wrong with my neck my knees as well as my hips and back. Im pretty sure im messed up for life.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2019

I bought this 2014 silverado new. The headlights are fogging up on the inside which makes it unsafe to drive at night. Also , the steering wheel is coming apart around the air bag , which may get in the way of me safely steering it or might cause the air bags to deploy. This vehicle is stored in a climate controlled enviroment every day. It does not sit outside, so the sun had nothing to do with this. I contacted gm and they said they would'nt help me. Please help as this is a safety issue not being able to see at night. Thanks. This vehicle only has 26000 miles on it. I own several gm vehicles , but this is the only one I have had trouble with.

20 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2017

This truck had a steering failure causing a collision and it was a minor front collision. The worse part is Chevrolet denies a problem but the internet is full of complaints. During the collision on the front strangely the curtain airbags is all that deployed leaving driver completely unprotected!!! the steering came back on after. Then I get a notice that the airbag control module is recalled because it may not work or deploy bags wrongfully. That's what happened. The truck has 24000 miles on it and the steering failed in the rain making me swing out almost striking a school bus full of small children. I had it towed to a chevy dealer after having and photographing with a time stamp 6 codes for a module failure. The chevy dealer calls and lies to me and did there are no codes or voltage to the motor and it may be a wire from the accident I told them about. The accident was minor and only required minor repair and a bumper. I think general motors needs a investigation into this and owe me curtain air bags and headliner. This company is irresponsible and defiant in defective moister sensitive due to lack of sealing according to hundreds and hundreds of internet postings. I owe 34,000. 00 on this junk unsafe product and complained and only get jerked around. Abc news has contacted me back for a story as soon as I here back from you.

Waited 12 years to afford a new truck and were stuck with this lemon. 14 active recalls paid over $1k for repair work not covered by warranty had the vehicle one year (2015) had to have the seats repaired. Air bag issues and the dealer said it wasn't covered either. As of today I have spent almost $3k on this truck for something that you wouldn't think a new truck would have to repair. The rear end went out at christmas (2016) really. Come on chevy you've gotta do better than this. Offer is something for our troubles. Will not buy or recommend a chevy product.
