Failure Date: 05/10/2024

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.

43 Air Bag problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 12/11/2023

I took my vehicle into sunset Chevrolet in sumner washington, in November of 2022 and had them complete the takata air bag recall on the vehicle. I drove it for a few months and put it in storage. Since the recall the dash is now cracked where the dealer replaced the passenger airbag recall. It was not cracked prior to the replacement. I have talked to the dealer and they are saying they will not cover this. This is a hazard issue and can cause additional shrapnel to come flying at you if the vehicle is involved in an accident. The vehicle was stored in the garage and not driven. The dealer won't even examine the vehicle to see if the bolts were inadvertently overtightened on the technicians side. This is not right and this is something that should be covered. The vehicle has about 88k miles on it. My dash was not cracked at the time of the repair and now it is. This is not right to put me at more risk than what I was at prior to the recall. I read that the takata airbag recall stated to repair the cracked dashes. Mine cracked after gm performed the recall. This is a hazard and is something that should be taken care of. I am disabled individual.

45 Air Bag problem of the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 10/31/2023

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.

46 Air Bag problem of the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 10/25/2023

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.

65 Air Bag problem of the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 10/10/2022

About five days ago, my air bag sensors came on and a strange message on the 2022 Tahoe display. It said “ service safety restraint system” needs to be serviced. I received numerous messages from the app and computer system saying something is wrong. I took the truck in to GMC brandywine service in brandywine, MD. I was told they couldn’t fix it and gm knows it’s an issue and may do a recall. I am riding with my son and grandkids in an unsafe vehicle. I was told something is wrong with the computer. The way it’s communicating the issue but nothing seems right with this truck. I had this truck in service for majority of my ownership for numerous defects. This airbag sensor has had issues in Jan 2022 and now it’s back. They are not fixing these issues and could cost me or my family’s life. I will upload the invoice later. I have to get it out of the truck. I was told gm knows about these issues. But all year it’s been numerous issues and the trucks are not functional.

68 Air Bag problem of the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 08/08/2022

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.
