While the vehicle is being driven a message will appear service tire monitor system and all gauges on the dash do not work, the radio, heating a/c also stops.The message quickly changes to service airbag. (Photos of both messages attached) Issue started Nov of 2020 Vehicle has been seen by Gordon Chevrolet MI 4 times for service and they are unable to find the issue. We did inform them that if we moved the driver seat just a bit that seem to reset it. Doesn't seem to be as responsive to that now. At one point the BCM was mentioned but still as of today not resolved or fixed. My concern is when the vehicle says service airbag and you are driving it down the road I don't know that this airbag will work if something were to happen. The dealership is well aware of the ongoing unresolved issue and I have another appointment for November 1,2021 so they can look at it again.
2017 Chevrolet Equinox airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On january 16, 2021, I was traveling down main street in round rock, texas where I rear ended another vehicle at approximately 30 MPH. As I slammed on my brakes to stop, I felt my brakes started pulsating, making it difficult for me to come to a complete stop. My car was deemed unrepairable, and was a total loss. The radiator was cracked, and the frame was bent making it difficult to open the door. I had a couple bruises not severe that I needed to go to the hospital. My airbags did not deploy during the accident, which to myself did not seem to be normal. Due to the severity of the damages to my car, it was considered not operational and had to be towed.
Airbags did't depoly with front end cfrash going about 25to30hmph hwy 278 west cullman
Air bags did not deploy or come out upon extremely high impact: the air bags in my 2017 equinox did not deploy out or come out when we where hit at a extremely high impact from the hit and run driver and the impact caused us to hit head on into an white SUV that was in front of us on the opposite side of the street going south on laramie. My fianc was driving and I was on the passenger side in we was going west on expressway and we had exited of laramie and harrison. Fianc lashanti scott that's on my insurance on the my 2017 equinox was driving so we made an right turn on laramie going north towards laramie and harrison. As we where approaching and crossings the light that was green at the next light, as we proceeded crossing the green light, an ss black SUV was coming from west of harrison towards us at an extremely high speed 60-65 miles per hour. There was no time to adjust and recover to avoid the SUV that hit us at such a high rate of speed. The ss black SUV that hit us in the front passenger side of my 2017 equinox in which caused my 2017 equinox from the impact to crash head onto an white SUV that was driving the opposite side going south of laramie towards harrison. And from the high impact of the ss black SUV that hit us spent around and hit us again on the back rear passenger side of my 2017 equinox also.
Vehicle hit a pot hole at 35 MPH, driver side front tire blew out. Service airbag light and warning can on and passenger front seat belt locked as if vehicle was in major collision. Dealership first stated it would all be covered under warranty, now stating black box shows vehicle was in collision and air bags 'partially deployed'. There is no damage to vehicle. If black box is determining an accident occurred, why did bags not deploy?
I was driving the car on freeway. I tried slowing the car by pressing the brake pedal but it would not allow me to stop the slow the car hence came the situation where I had to hit the brake pedal harder to able to stop the car to avoid the accident. I was not able to break at all and it ended up colliding with the car in front of me. It was surprising to me that not a single airbag was popped open, given the magnitude of an accident and the damage it caused (estimated damage over $10,000). I had my son and two of his friends in the car. It is very shocking that the airbags or break did not work in brand new SUV.

I was traveling at approximately 60mph on a highway. The vehicles in the lane next to me were stopped for an obstruction. A vehicle from that lane traveled into my lane right in front of me. I collided with the vehicle - I estimate the collision to have occurred at 30-40mph. None of the airbags deployed.
