My air bag light keeps popping up and tells me to service the air bags system and now it does it when nobody is on the seat too, the dealer told me they found the problem and charged me 500 and some dollars and i returned the car the same day they said it was fixed cause it was doing it again , I'm scared it might deploy. I never usually have anybody with me but sometimes my wife comes with me and they say is the seat restraints and i keep getting the run around. Thank you....

Feb 2019, I received a call from the chevy dealer where I purchased my camaro back in april 2017, stating that my vehicle has a safety recall which effect the electric power steering. I read up on the recall which stated, the electric steering can fail while operating the vehicle which will make it hard to steer. I contacted the dealer to bring my car in for service, they told me that there was no remedy for the recall and that they will reach out to me when they have one. Manufacturer recall number n182182760. The federal safety agency recall number, 19v086 * (recall related incident) ts it is now june 2019 and on 6/16/19, I was driving my car about 15-20mph, driving around a roundabout and my steering wheel locked on me, causing me to wreck my car which caused my seat and overhead airbags to deploy along with suspension, wheel and body damage. I had the wheel turned left going around the circle and as I was trying to turn the steering wheel back to the right to exit the roundabout, my steering wheel locked, causing me to run over top of the curb striking my wheels on the edge of the steel sewer and back into the street striking the left side of my vehicle on an island exiting the roundabout which caused my airbags to deploy. Once my airbags deployed my engine and electrical was shut down automatically. I did suffer a hard impact on my left shoulder from the airbag. Gm finally came up with a remedy this month 6/2019 for the recall. A representative from the dealer gave me gm's customer service number to call and report the incident. I had to file an insurance claim with my insurance and if my car is repairable, I would have to pay my deductible and suffer higher insurance rates all because of a recall that gm fail to repair in a timely manner.

None of my 2017 camaro airbags deployed after an 18 wheeler hit me while driving on the interstate. I was going approx. 55 MPH in the far slow right lane. Trucker hit me on drivers side and my car was hooked to the truck. He then drug me approx. 50' at speeds of 45-55 MPH. When I did finally get loose from truck it the slung me in front of the truck where he then hit me again from behind. At least one of the 4 airbags should have deployed. Especially the drivers side airbag. This angers me b/c it is one main reason I purchased this car. And in addition, apparently non of the crash response sensors worked either. Onstar was supposed to contact me should an accident occur. I tried calling them while I sat in the middle of the interstate. Sat on hold for an agent 10 mins before I finally hung up.
