2009 Chevrolet Equinox airbags problems

Filed Jul 4, 2020 · Airbags, Driver assistance · 120,000 miles · CO

The airbag sensor light stays on intermittently and when it does, the passenger airbag says "off" and notification message says "service passenger airbag". Every shop I have to take it to says they see no problems, but a dealer has to take a look. This started happening in 2018 and has been happening since. I have been reading that this is problem for this model of equinox around this time in its life. The stable track is similar. Every so often, it stops working but then most of the time is fine.

My airbag light and 'service air bag' light and ABS light and stabalize track light were all on for a few week and I took it to local shop who said the sensor for the brakes under driver seat was bad so that cost $580.00 for new module. That took care of ABS/stabilize lights. Had to to go dealer for airbag lights and they charged $1070.00 because the airbag module under passenger seat was out and had to replace (part 560 plus labor). I don't feel like I should have had to pay for the airbags!! The airbag lights were on for about 6 months and never went off so I finally got tired of it...no matter if someone was sitting in seat or not, or whether it was idle, in motion, etc.

My car stopped in the middle of the highway due to the computer system and my airbag light has been on since I bought the car.

Takata recall. Service air bag for passenger seat is on and air bag is off. Began while stationary with passenger in the seat. This vehicle has 58,000 miles on it. Unacceptable that it is not under recall.

The airbag light says 'off' when there is an adult passenger riding in the seat. This has been happening on and off for over a year. The dashboard on the passenger side is cracking around the airbag. The crack is outlining the space where the airbag would pop out from. It appears unsafe as if it's faulty and could initiate at any minute. After doing some research it looks as if other models with similar problems have been recalled. I've seen similar complaints online for this model but no recalls are shown. There are other 2009 gms that have recalls issued.

Takata recall. I see that the 2009 chevy equinox is not on the schedule to be recalled, however, there are so many with the same airbag problem. It's a scandal that they are able to get away with not recalling. Same problem with the stabillink, traction control and ABS lights. It is a problem for all of these vehicles!

It appears unsafe as if its faulty and could initiate at any minute. After doing some research it looks as if other models with similar problems have been recalled. I'm reporting this because I saw an expose on the takata airbags and gm was mentioned. I've seen similar complaints online for this model but no recalls are shown. There are other 2009 gms that have recalls issued. A body shop told us we should contact the dealer for an estimate because there were recalls on their airbags but the dealer said there are none. I'm taking the vehicle to the dealer for a free estimate after notifying them the crack has been developing for some time and we've been waiting on a recall.

I am filing my complaint due to some re-accruing issues that I continuously have with my truck I just bought in june of 2017. I have problems with the car overheated needle fluctuations and shutting down on me. The air bags does not work for the passenger seat and there are a couple of sensors that are on and constantly stays on when cranking the car and driving. I also have problems when I turn the wheel to the right hearing a rubbing graining noise also hear a trickling noise when pressing the gas to go. I have had my car worked on by a mechanic twice. Had my radiator flushed thermostat replaced and anti-freeze take flushed and still the same issues. My coolan fan causes my battery to go dead and have to get a jump start more than once. This issue happens while driving sitting or even on the highway. I'm taking the car back to the dealer to see if they can figure the issue out.
