general problems of the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

The safety system needs serviced/repaired and the alert has been present for months, and investigated by gm licensed dealership but not repaired, after several requests. The safety of drivers and passengers has been neglected and the high risk for injury and death while occupying the 2021 chevy Tahoe. Also on 06/11/2025 the eps power steering system failed, with the system alert showing up on the driver's dash. This is a cause for major concern and is noted that 2021 chevy Tahoe vehicles have an outstanding recall for those affected. The licensed gm dealership was contacted on 06/12/2025 and again, denied the repair and/or ability for the vehicle to be operated safely. The Tahoe has been taken to the shop over the last 12-16 months and as of this day, occupants of this vehicle are at very high risk for injury and death due to the service safety system alert and the failed eps system. I am compelled to take additional action, to prevent injury and death unless these issues are able to be immediately resolved.

Service safety restraint system notification is coming on, vehicle has 45,000 miles on it.

Air bags did not deploy after significant frontal damage. No warning that the air bag sensor was bad.

I have a 2021 chevy Tahoe that has been to the dealer 3 times now for an airbag light (dtc b14dc). The dealer has yet to resolve this issue. I am being told it has to do with the harness in my drivers seat. The dealer performed a TSB for this issue which still hasn't fixed the problem. My wife and I travel back and forth from michigan to arizona and I am concerned that the system wont perform correctly if I am in an accident.

The indicator light 'service safety restraint system' beeps and comes on about every 5 minutes when driving. Sometimes it doesn't come on at all. There is no rhyme or reason for why it happens.

The truck had an airbag malfunction notice on the information center. We took the truck to the dealer and was told that it was an electrical problem with the airbags. That the only way to have it covered under warranty was for the vehicle to be under the bumper to bumper warranty. The truck at the time the mileage was 39844. We had the truck fixed since it was a safety issue. It cost $420+ to fix it. We feel that it should have been covered due to a safety issue.

The airbags failed to deploy in my 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe after being involved in an accident where another vehicle t-boned my vehicle on the passenger side front end to rear end causing severe damage and pushing my vehicle with great force. A police report was taken by officers that responded to the traffic accident. A claim was filed with my auto insurance and my 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is currently being repaired as it was not deemed a total loss. Myself and my passengers were injured and received and continue receiving medical treatment for our injuries; our safety was definitely placed at risk. Before being involved in this accident, warning alerts/lamps would appear on the vehicle’s dashboard indicating to “service the safety restraint system” and also to “open then close passenger window” which in turn led me to take the vehicle in for service however the dealer said it could not be duplicated nor did the computer show any alerts. After the accident, I contacted general motors and filed a claim for the non deployment of the airbags, they in turn are conducting their investigation.

My car’s service safety restraint system alert is on for the second time. I took it to hanner Chevrolet in baird, TX the first time and they told me it was fixed. It stayed off for a few months until the alert lit up again. My car is available for inspection. According to the dealership, while that light is on, they cannot guarantee that my airbags will deploy in the event of a crash. The dealership has confirmed that there is a problem and has seen the same issue with many other 2021 Tahoes. My vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership so far. The warning lamp is currently on. Luckily I have not had an accident in my vehicle, but I feel unsafe driving it at this time until the issue is resolved. After speaking with the dealership and researching online, it appears that this is a common issue with the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and creates a significant safety threat. I believe a recall might be required.

Took the vehicle in for airbag system recall in 2022. They said they fixed it and that there was a broken wire. The very next day the warning light came on again like before. I contacted the dealership and they said bring it in. I could not get it in again as I was very busy. I asked them to make a note in my file of the immediate call/report of still a problem. I took the vehicle in this month (October 2024) for issue of no starting (fuel pump failure, another recall they are denying). They stated that the drivers side airbag module was shorted or bad and my cost would be approximately $1,250. They stated it was not covered under any recall. I contacted chevy corporate that offered to cover 30% only of this. I believe this should be covered in whole due to the failure to repair the first time and that is is a known safety issue. The vehicle has only 10,800 miles.

My airbag light keeps flashing and an alert pops up “service safety restraint system. ” flashes on and off everyday the whole time I’m driving. I can’t even use my digital speedometer because it comes on so much.

I purchased a 2021 chevy Tahoe from autonation Chevrolet 11-3-2020. I have taken my Tahoe to the service department numerous times - as my truck has had a stubborn service safety restraint system warning error code that continues to come on and off. I have taken it to have all recalls serviced as per recall request. The service safety restraint system warning code has not been corrected after more than 5-6 visits if not more as not all visits have been logged properly. I have had this truck for less than 12 months and have experienced too many conflicting issues. I do not feel safe driving my Tahoe with the srs light on. There's obviously a malfunction that you all have not been able to figure out. This is extremely dangerous!! what if I were to get involved in an accident or collision and my airbags do not deploy? I may have a problem with the airbags themselves, a loose wire, a faulty seat belt buckle, or a problem with the engine control unit which is causing the airbag warning to come on. There is obviously a major problem. I am putting my children and family at risk. I have not received an email or phone call from anyone at autonation Chevrolet. The service safety restraint system warning code has come on and off 7x since I was last at the dealership (9/10/21) and I have pictures to support.

Constant recurring "service safety restraint system" warning, mostly when passenger is seated.

Brand new vehicle bought two weeks ago. I am getting a service safety restraint system message intermittently.

Purchase the vehicle and within a week the service safety restraint system light is on. My car has been at the dealership service department for 3 weeks and they are not able to provide a eta on when they can get the cable to fix the issue. Are they selling vehicles with bad parts.

The service safety restrain system warning keeps coming on along with the airbag readiness warning. We have taken it into the dealership twice in the first month of owning this vehicle and we were told there is no current fix. However the manual states to have the vehicle serviced immediately to avoid injury due to the airbags might not be working properly. This warning goes off every 2-3 minutes when driving after we reset the alert. This started happening the minute we drove it off of the lot.
