Airbag failure to deploy. Vehicle didn't deploy airbags at a head on side collision, metal bumper got pushed in and front tow hook got bent, Impact was detected by iPhone crash detection.
My safety system service warning comes on for about 30 seconds and then goes back off. This has happened about 4 times now. The transmission causes my truck to shake randomly. My pulley is going out and the local dealer said they wouldn't replace is under warranty(even though my warranty was still is effect) because they said it looked like someone sprayed tire cleaner under the hood(I bought it from the same dealership that I took it to for this service.) The brake seem to shake already when coming to a stop. They seem as if they are wearing prematurely.
I had a head on crash on 2/14/23. The other driver was moving in excess of 50mph. The hit was center of the front bumper pushing the bumper and radiator in to the engine compartment. No air bag deployment. However the Onstar system activated immediately.
Every so ofter I get an audible and visual alert telling me to Service Seat Safety Restraint System as well as the airbag light on the dashboard. This lastest incident is probably the 8th time it has happened since Ive brought the truck new
Service safety restraint system with airbag light comes on then goes away this happens when going into a turn.
Safety restraint t system failure - airbag lights on and airbags advised will not deploy if in accident
Purchased new, within a couple of days the SRS supplemental restraint system light came on the info center in dash and would flash on and off with the airbag light on (red) it would do this for 15-30 seconds and then "reset" and then lights would go off. Was inconsistent but scared my wife, so I took the truck by the dealer and they said it was not a hard code in the system and may be a bug in the system and keep an eye on it...well a few more days after it finally set a check engine light hard code and was taken to the dealer the next day. Found out if the light comes on the air bags are not activated, nice one gm. So after 3 days they changed the clock spring in the steering column and then find 3 hard codes for engine misfires. All before the 1st oil change...come on man this is 2021 so while its in the 2nd time the guy has to order the part they dent the door and scratch the paint and now it back for 2 more weeks for paint and body and infotainment system issues updates poor quality and headaches. But wife still feels unsafe with the air bag failure issues.
The air bag light and service restraint message came up constantly, it seem like it would self clear, then come right back. Truck had only 250 miles on it when it started, it is still at the dealer waiting for parts. They told me it was because of corrosion (in a brand new truck)
I hit a couple of palm trees and an oak tree and the air bags didn't go off.. Huge concern do I want to buy another one?
