Failure Date: 06/12/2019

Warning light: passenger seatside airbag deployment loop code: b0021 car dealership said they contanced manufactuare and said they would not fix that or where I suspect the car is having transmission problems since it takes longer than it should when I accelerate from where I start driving after a redlight, once I hit 40 mph and then when I hit I think 55mph. Both things are safety issues. Plus after hail damaged my windshild the guy who replaced it said it wasn't sealed in properly and would have smashed if we got in a wreck. This car seems like a death trap.

8 Warning Light On problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 02/07/2019

My service airbag warning comes up on display. Sometimes it stays on, sometimes it goes off and on like when I hit a bump. I have had it serviced and fixed and they say the clip under the passenger seat was disconnected. A few months later I was vacuuming my car out and as soon as I was done, the light came on again. I had it fixed again. Like literally took 2 seconds for them to clip it together and it cost over $70. It came disconnected again, had it fixed, now the warning light is on again, and I am annoyed! can we get a recall?? I'm sick of this! it has happened when the car is stationary and moving. I should be able to vacuum my vehicle or grab a piece of mail that has slid under the seat without having the clip coming disconnected!.

9 Warning Light On problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 01/05/2019

Several months ago onstar notified me that I needed to take my vehicle in for service due to a warning that stated there was a problem with the airbag, I did take the car to the dealer and they did not find anything. During the last few days I keep getting a warning that says "service airbag. " I went online to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Sure enough, over 30 people, and there could be a lot more, had reported the same type of problem that I am having. The "service airbag" warning light comes on while I am driving and stays on for hours, then it will go off, but come back on again. Sometimes it comes on and stays on before I leave the driveway. In some cases other owners stated that they had to pay more than $1,200 to have a repair done and then the problem appeared again. I bought the vehicle brand new and only have 45,000 miles on it. This is clearly a factory defect and I would hope that no one is seriously injured or killed before some action is taken by your agency to have this problem rectified by general motors.

11 Warning Light On problem of the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 12/02/2016

Unexpected notice of a service warning light that suddenly appeared on my wife's Traverse after driving for 2 weeks. . . . . Lisa and I purchased a demo Traverse with 4000 miles , at a ft pierce Chevrolet location recently. . . We went on a two week trip to hawaii and returned this past week , as we started the car , upon our return, my wife exclaimed ; I have a warning airbag notice light on. . . . So I thought ! ,( maybe it was the fact I hadn't buckled my seat belt yet, as I entered the started car, maybe my seat wasn't function right or something). . . . . I had her turn off the car and restart it. Continually , (throughout the day yesterday), as we traveled around, doing christmas shopping, this warning reappeared each time we stopped , got out to shop and return to start the Traverse. . When I returned home, I google the meaning of this warning, what was it causes, what it entailed / how to remedy this warning and my startled and dismayed as the search results popped up. . . . Chevrolet was aware of the design defect in the Traverse vehicles, but did not warn us or other consumers prior to purchasing. The defective airbags causes safety concerns and diminishes the resale value of this vehicle ,the defective airbags in the Traverse may cause unsafe driving conditions and financial burden to us as owners. As noted ignoring the active service air bag warning light will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints, which include driver and passenger seat-mounted side air bags, front center air bag (if equipped), and the seat belt pre-tensioners. Seems this issue has been a recurring model issue since 2010. . I'm not happy and hope the dealership is able to remedy this issue, for her , in a timely manner , but I still needed to post a notice to this site. . . . .

12 Warning Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 10/25/2016

Airbag warning light indicator came on today, 10/25/16. Nothing happened to cause the light to come on and the dealership states that the airbag has become inoperable. Seems like a lot of issues reported and even a recall on earlier models. Wife was about 2 miles from house when indicator came on driving 55-60 down highway. Unknown what the issue is at this time but definitely a safety issue for the airbag to become inoperable. Has to be a faulty part as no accidents to cause a issue.

14 Warning Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 12/24/2015

While the vehicle is in operation in any driving condition the airbag service indicator warning light came on and stayed on. This was intermittent at first and then stayed on after a few days. Dealer will not cover this key safety component failure. This seems to be related to the last recall for airbag failure on the 2009-2013 Traverse model vehicles made this year. The recall fixes the yellow wire harness connector failure by cutting it away and splicing the wires together. There are now technical bulletins out for the 2014 Traverses that seem to have the same issue.

15 Warning Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 12/14/2015

Dealer has told me that the vehicle registers an error code of b0022. According to the dealer, gm tells them to check four wires on the connectors to the front passenger seat wiring harness that causes the check airbag warning light to illuminate. Specifically, gm tells the dealer to solder the connections on the four wires on the connector. The dealer has also told me that if the warning light for the air bag system is illuminated, none of the airbags will deploy. In my opinion this is a serious design flaw. If the airbag warning light is illuminated and you have an accident before the problem is corrected this could result in major injuries. Also, a connector termination problem is a manufacturing defect and should be corrected by the dealer, especially in a critical safety system such as the airbag system.
