Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The contact owned a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light was intermittently illuminated. Additionally, the brake pads were partially dragging against the rotors while driving. The contact referenced the federal safety agency Campaign Numbers: 15V085000 (PARKING BRAKE) and 15V465000 (AIR BAGS); as a possible cause for the failures; however, the VIN was not included in the recalls. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,547.
On 11/20/2024, the Chevrolet dealership diagnosed the problem as a short in the passenger presence sensor airbag module under the passenger seat. For more than a year, the airbag warning light has almost always been on. On just a few occasions in the past year or two, the airbag light has turned off, usually corresponding with a change in the humidity. I understand that there was a recall for this very same (moisture-related) airbag problem in other GM vehicles some years ago. I think we have the exact same problem here, and that my car should be included in the recall. Note well, this year there was an airbag recall covering a 2007 Nissan Versa, a much older car. It seems that airbag recalls can apply to cars 18 years old.
Multiple electric concerns...airbag light, park assist, inop camera, and losing communication with BCM(?) Found multiple communication codes for a variety of different modules. Found main source to be from the "side detection modules". Found fuse 62 blown underhood. Inspected side detection modules and found "a lot of corrosion" on both modules and connectors. Needs side detection kit. I purchased the used impala on 12/19/2020 with 63,897 miles. The first time this issue was a concern was on 07/02/2022 at Merit chevrolet (MN). Mileage was at 83144 at that time. Diagnosis ... recommend both rear side detection modules and harness? According to Special coverage adjustment #N172097060 it is known to be subject to "water intrusion"? This problem affects the whole electrical system which includes airbag function. Why does this safety concern have a limited coverage time? According to the "Special Coverage" document, there was an 80000 mile timeline? This appears to be an ongoing issue with this year, make, and model and my feeling is that a "special coverage" is denying the safety problem and putting it on the consumer?
passenger airbag lights stays on even when its no one in the seat, also the blind side warning does not work with the already know defective sensors. need fix to ensure my safety of me and my family
Received letter from gmc in march 2020 regarding electrical wire leading to passenger seat not deploying and may become disconnected and fail to deploy when commanded. Also an indication will be displayed on the dashboard. My car is experiencing this issue and gmc fails cover the cost because its not identified as recall. The states they will cover for no charge if within 8 years of originally placed in service or 80,000 miles (whichever comes first). Gmc should already that 2014 cars will be well 80,000 miles in 2020! Since this is a safety issue and lives are at stake, gmc should not make this financial burden for consumers. Additionally the electrical wiring for the entire system is an issue. My screen continues to blink in and out and show a system refresh and the radio, bluetooth capability, and locking mechanisms are inoperable as well. All of these issues started at the same time! Gmc needs to take the same steps regarding airbag safety as ford has done for their consumers with out of warranty vehicles! Ford is providing a free service to their customers because they value the lives more profits. I've taken vehicle for service today (4/9/21) and I'm looking a a healthy bill. Hopefully electrical/safety issues can be addressed with gmc as this issue has been identified in multiple forums including this website. The number associated with the electrical airbag issue is n192216430. The electrical issues with screen and airbag was identified when starting the car and no connection and airbag indicator on dashboard. This happened around june 2020. I spoke with chevrolet customer assistance center today (4/9/21) and no help was offered for this issue.

Takata recall. The power steering light signal came on while starting the car. The sterring wheel waa stiff. The car acted as if it didnt want to start when it on my radio station was on some random station as if the battery was messed with. While driving and in park the passenger airbag light goes off as if noone is in the passenger seat when clearly someone is sitting buckeled in. The power steering happend today and the airbag light has happened occasionally in the past couple months.

- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured April 15, 2013, to June 19, 2015, equipped with front vented-heated passenger seats. Accordingly, the Automatic Occupant Sensing (AOS) system may fail to suppress the front passenger air bag if a child seat is in the front passenger seat. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- Risk
- If the front passenger air bag deploys with a child seat in the front passenger seat, it increases the risk of injury to the child.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will correct the calibration-learning error by preconditioning the empty seat, and also resetting the ECU to a seat zero-value, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1‑800‑222‑1020. GM's number for this recall is 15400.
