On 5-3-2025 I rolled my vehicle end over end at least 6 times at a high speed. One of my vehicle safty options was "advanced srs airbags" during the crash my vehicles side airbags deployed but my drivers steering wheel air bag did not. As a result of them not deploying I smashed my face into the steering wheel and windshield. I suffered a shattered nose, broken jaw, broken hand and a concussion. It was my fault I crashed my car but if my airbags had gone off I feel like my injuries would be far less severe if not non existent. I would have less medical bills and would still be able to work. My vehicle had no warning lights or indicators that the airbags needed service. My insurance company did make not of the airbags failure to deploy and are doing a thorough investigation of them.

Friday morning, on June 16th I went out to start my car and I noticed an I code 95 on my dashboard. It also showed my abs light, traction light, and airbag/seatbelt light. When I researched the I code 95 it said that my car had been in an accident and the airbag and seatbelt needs to be replaced. When I came home the previous night on June 15th there were no lights showing on my dashboard and I hadn't been in an accident. I also had pulled into my designated parking spot with my front tires facing the curb. When I checked my car I noticed no dents or scratches on my car. I then went to bob hook Chevrolet which is the dealership where I purchased my car, and they ran a quick diagnostic with one of those sensors that you plug into your car. Upon review, the technician said there was probably an error in the sensor, and that the results showed that my passenger side sensor was malfunctioning for the airbag and the sensor on the right front bumper was causing my abs and traction light to come on. The technician tried to reset the lights but they immediately came back on. He said he wasn't sure why the lights came back on considering that I hadn't been in an accident. This jeopardizes my safety and my passenger's safety. If I did get in a car accident my passenger would be unprotected because the airbag doesn't work. I would also be unprotected if my wheel decide to lock up during an accident. This could cause me to skid off the road. Also, it is summertime so it rains at least once every two weeks. My car is already small so I have less friction and gravity to help keep all fours wheel grounded. Anytime it rains I'm scared that my car may start to skid because the traction system isn't working. And again if the traction isn't working and I do start to skid my abs cant help me because the sensor is malfunctioning. I get regular oil changes and do winter and summer maintenance inspections. They never noticed anything wrong with my car. There we no warning signs.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Spark. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was displayed on the instrument panel. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Car braked in front of me to avoid a crash; I did the same. I managed to leave enough space and I did not make contact with the car in front of me. As I was stopped behind the car in front of me, another car rear-ended me going ? 35 mph. Consequently, my car was compressed between both cars. There was severe damage to the hood/front end of my car from the force of the car behind me pushing against the car in front of me; moderate damage to the rear. No airbags deployed. I was left with a sprained back and a concussion. I do believe I have complications with my spine and nervous system to this day because of this accident.

Collision to the front of car. It bent the frame but airbags still did not deploy.

Our car broke down on 07/08/2021 and went into the shop on 07/12/2021. It was eventually determined the engine had to be replaced. The car was in the shop until 09/02/2021. The following day during a test drive I noticed some minor, unusual response, almost unnoticeable, from the brakes, but there were no warning lights or messages. I connected a code reader and received the following codes: u0422, u0151, and c0800. I think all of them are sent by the ecu and involve communication problems with the abs and the restraint systems, but yet, no warnings. I took it back to the shop. They found a shorted or bad body control module, probably caused during the engine swap. If I hadn’t found those codes, perhaps the brakes or restraint systems may not have performed correctly in an accident. Obviously, the bcm can be defective and no warning lights are displayed, yet the car seems to perform almost normal. My wife did not detect the unusual braking response. We have parked the car. It seems to me, if the bcm goes defective, there should be a red light, stop immediately warning. I think every system in the car has to communicate with it. Could it be a problem created in the factory?.

The contact owns a 2021chevrolet Spark m2. The contact stated while stopped at a red light when the contact was struck from behind launching the vehicle off the ground and moving forward 30ft into the rear driver side of a third vehicle in the middle of the intersection. This resulted in none of the airbags deploying and the seatbelt came unlocked and the contact was released from the restraints. 2 people were injured and sought medical treatments. The contact sustained multiple contusions, neck and back pain, a brain cyst, and bruising all over the body. A police report was taken and the vehicle was towed to a police lot then towed again to the contacts insurance lot where it was awaiting diagnosis. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

Vehicle #1 heading southbound then cross lanes and ture abruptly eastward into ongoing traffic of vehicle #2 northbound lane. Both vehicle's collided and vehicle #2 air bag's did not deploy during impact.

Airbag code (95) the car just got out of the shop from a faulty transmission and a warped piston(#3) I had it back for two weeks and now the airbag code comes on. I drove about five minutes and then park the car down to one the code came on. I cleared it shut the car off them started it came back.

Feb 2018 I received an error message while driving for a code 95. After review I determined it was an air bag error message. I took it to mk smith in chino, CA and they replaced the passenger air bag module. July 2020 I received the same code 95 air bag warning message. I took it back to mk smith in chino, CA and they told me the same passenger air bag module needs to be replaced. I asked if they replaced a faulty passenger air bag module with a faulty passenger air bag module and the response was 'yes'. But because I didn't receive the warning message until after 12 months it's my problem to fix it. This is a known issue and a known recall even though the initial recall was supposedly fixed.

All of the airbags were too strong. The doctor thought my leg was broken from the leg airbag. I was even wearing ugg boots to my knees, so I would have had a worse injury without them. I got a concussion from the airbag that hit my face and my nose was broken. My left hand was severely bruised almost covering the whole hand, my legs were bruised with cuts all over. There were bruises as if pieces were flying at my legs from within the airbags. One circular bruise on my leg lasted almost a year. Also, the seatbelt was too harsh. It pulled at my shoulder and the injury has lasted until now. My passenger had cuts on her legs and severe bruises on her stomach from the seatbelt. We were in a head-on accident with the other car going about 45 at us and going faster and faster.

Got the car in January of 2019. Under 18,000 miles and I was driving on the highway saw smoke and took it to Chevrolet they said the brakes needed to be repaired with boosters and other parts.

The vehicle was in motion in a school zone of 35 mph on a street. It had a front end impact, which it rear-ended the car in front of it and the airbags deployed. The airbag by the feet, deployed a piece of metal or plastic and blew through the calf down to the bone. The wound was 4-5 inches in length and required 13 stitches. There was barely any damage to the car and there should not have been a hole blown through the leg. I think these airbags need to be recalled as they are dangerous and can cause serious injury.

I was in an accident on December 7th 2018. Currently e-surance believes my car is totaled. I was traveling at 45 mph when an SUV turned into me. Not one of the 10 air bags deployed.

I had taken my Spark for a oil change in April 2017, I had asked to check , replace filters, check and top off all fluids, tire rotation. After all this , I noticed my brakes were squeaking when I move forward slowly. It was recently recall for it's passenger air bag. I'm afraid my brakes will be defected.

Error code 95 received for servicing airbag.

My daughter is driving her 2013 chevy Spark on a state highway, she's starting to brake approaching a red light. The air bags -steering wheel and knee deploy. This causes her to rear end the car in front of her, bruising her legs and thighs. There was trouble breathing due to the cloud of smoke from the airbags.

Need air bag for the driver's side.

I was in a very bad car accident and not one of my air bags deployed . It is squished it was hit in the front very hard which would allow the airbags to poof out and help in these situations. I was headed down an off ramp onto turn pike and a car came to a complete stop swerved to merge and car infant of me did the same and we collided.

A deer ran out in front of me on i29 - I was going about 65mph straight on the interstate and not one of my air bags worked- nothing deployed. After the accident a code 95 was displayed on the dash. I was lucky I always wear my seat-belt as I could have died.

I was driving a chevy Spark 2015 to my local supermarket, less than 3 or so miles from my home. I was several miles under the 40 mph speed limit. I was in the right lane of a two lane road. I could see stopped traffic quite a ways ahead of me ¿ also in the right lane. There were at least 6-7 cars in front of me and a truck in front of the cars. I could see the cars/truck were stopped for the stoplight but they were quite a ways ahead of me. There was no one in the left lane so I decided to make a lane change as there was plenty of room ahead of me to do so. The next thing I knew I lost control of my car and it seemed to accelerate and slammed hard into the car in front of me. The police officer called to the scene said I couldn't have been making a lane change because I hit the car in front of me. I explained to him several times that I was definitely making a lane change but I could not explain the accident or how I had hit a car in front of me. The police officer told me I must have been distracted. I told the officer I was definitely not distracted and was very aware of my surroundings and the other vehicles. The officer again told me I couldn¿t have been making a lane change since I hit the car straight on. It was actually the police officers¿ assertion that I couldn¿t have been making a lane change that later made me look online to see if there were any other complaints about chevy Sparks. I discovered driver complaints about steering wheel lockup and acceleration problems. I wasn't certain about anything at the time of the accident except that it made no sense given the fact that I was in the process of making a lane change just before I hit the other car. However, I am now convinced the accident was the result of something outside of my control and I believe there was an issue with both the accelerator a well as the steering wheel locking up.

The code 95 appeared out of nowhere and will not clear. No there is no cruise control and all the buttons on the steering wheel do not work not even the light this car we bought a year ago have had multiple recalls and problems with including something major in the engine to the point it could not be driven safely.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Spark. The contact stated that a warning error message (code 95) displayed across the message board. The vehicle was taken to the dealer were it was diagnosed that the control module for the air bag system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,441.

The airbags are no longer functioning there is a computer issue I am told and Chevrolet nor the dealership will accept this as CA default in their system so I have to drive an unsafe vehicle with no working airbags I bought this car for the 16 airbags it had well that is now use less of.

The code 95 comes on when both front seats are occupied. We went to dealership and they gave us an off the wall answer about using a jelly to put on the air bag connection to fix the issue but didn't do it. We have since took it back and now they want us to pay for a new air bag system because it is faulty. The vehicle has had no accidents or air bag problems before. This is a very big safety issue that is chevy's problem not mine . According to blogs other Sparks and cruzes have same issue.
