I was driving at approximately 35 -40 mph in foggy and wet conditions. As I approached a corner, I collided with a big metal dumpster. My airbags gave off that powder, and the smell was prominent, and the dash light came on. As well as, my side airbags (only the plastic) popped out, but, to my amazement, none of my actual airbags deployed at all. And my passenger seat belt was locked up to where I couldn't use it anymore, and no one was in that seat. Had I been in a frontal collision, I might have died. This is a major safety issue I have a 2107 Silverado 1500 lt.

55 Air Bag problem of the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 09/29/2024

To be clear, the vehicle was not in an accident. The check airbag light keeps pinging every few minutes while driving. So I took to the Chevrolet of watsonvill dealership and said the truck has a faulty passenger door airbag, which raises safety concerns for me. I have a [xxx] son as well as two [xxx] parents that sit in the passenger seat often and would hate for that faulty airbag to either deploy while driving or not deploy when needed. How do I see if this vehicle can be included in a safety recall? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

58 Air Bag problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 09/09/2024

Airbag light came on indicating an issue. Went to dealer and the codes that came up are b0030 (passenger instrument panel air bag deployment loop stage 2 short to ground) and b0413 (temperature control 1 feed back circuit actuator stuck). It cost $597. 67 to have a new airbag installed. I worry others couldn't afford this and it should be covered by the mfg due to the safety risk created from the vendor creating airbags that do not last the life of the vehicle.

63 Air Bag problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.
