I was driving home and a truck overpassed me on a loose sand area causing me to have to make a sudden brake and my car due to the loose sand and rocks sing around and hit a power pole and the impact to the power pole that was on the corner bounced me car back and my car did a flip and it landed on its front bumper and ultimately rolled over 4 times down a hill and landed on all four tires during the impact front airbags did not deploy my whole entire front dash board exploded and fragments flew everywhere once my car festered to roll the side airbags dropped but did not inflate, at the moment that my car hit the pole my driver seat physically came out of place and and even with my seat belt on it throw me to my backseat and caused the seat belt to me twisted around me, this same issue was allegedly fixed by three way Chevy I had made a report during the time frame of June2023 when three way failed to fix my recall and fraudulently reported the recall repaired yet said no work was done to my car I was in contact with u guys already and this is unfortunately proof that supports my initial report to you from 2023 and need this investigation reopened

When someone sits in the passenger seat the airbag light/alarm goes on and off. My mechanic said I would need to take it to the dealer. I called dealer and they would need to diagnose if it is the seat belt or the seat weight sensor. Can cost upwards of $900. I just can't afford that. They should recall since I've researched so many complaints on this issue.

On august 18th 2020. I was interested in buying this 2011 camaro from ts auto sales in orlando florida. The salesman name is [xxx]. I asked him if there was any extensive damage to the vehicle? He said the driver side was hit and it was replaced. I asked him if there was anything else? He said no. After I purchased the vehicle. I later found out, that he was not being truthful with me. I looked the vehicle up, and found that the air bags had been deployed. Which is a major safety violation. I also asked him why the battery was being drained. He said it just need to be charged. I took the car to a steve's auto electric in clermont florida. The technician told me that the air bags needed to be replaced. At the cost of $3,500. This is a rebuild able title. You can not get this vehicle inspected if all of the repairs are not done, and you must have receipts for every part that was repaired, or replaced. This is a very unsafe vehicle. To my understanding. It's the responsibility of the dealership to make any major repairs before selling a vehicle. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The passenger airbag light come on the dashboard stating repairs needed & regardless if someone is sitting in the seat the passenger airbag light remains 'off' if the vehicle is moving or stationary. Today I was sitting in the passenger seat while my husband was driving, the airbag was on & all the sudden the warning sound chimes & the light went to the off position.

The 'service airbag' notification keeps repeatedly showing on my dashboard. This has been happening for the past month. This message appears whether anything is located in the passenger seat or not. My local chevy dealership stated that this issue 'will cost a couple hundred' to repair.

Around 100,000 miles my airbag light came on. The vehicle was not in an accident, the light just came on, while driving one day. Took it to the dealership and they said the airbag needs to be replaced at an expensive price. Currently riding around in a vehicle with faulty airbags for no apparent reason.

Around 60,000 miles, the 'service airbag' warning began displaying from when the car is started until it is shut off. I am interested in selling the vehicle, but when I took the car in to a local dealership, they said they were going to take "$2,000" off of what would be offered for the car because of this airbag problem. When researching this problem, it sounds to be a relatively common problem that others are having - but even more concerning, it sounds like this error may deactivate the airbag altogether which is a considerable safety concern considering I don't have $2,000 to put toward the car to resolve this error.
