The problem; service air bag illuminates and shows up in the message center. Went to chevrolet dealer and they tried to clear the code with the reader and no luck. They don't know where to start, it could be anything they said. I don't want to dump thousands of dollars to research a problem they don't know if they can cure. Has anyone else experienced this issue? 2009 chevrolet 2500hd diesel.
2009 Chevrolet Silverado airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2009 chevy silverado 1500. The service airbag light came on when I started the car. I noticed there was a recall on this exact thing in the year and make of my vehicle. My VIN number was not included in the recall. After talking to a chevy representative they indicated the best way to solve this problem was to make a claim because it is the same problem seen in other 2009 chevy silverados, and my VIN may be accepted through the claim. The vehicle was previously registered in missouri, a state that under the recall of some of these vehicles qualified.
Dashboard is cracked in several places, from airbags to windshield, and in front of instrument cluster. All on top of dash. It is crumbling and I fear for my safety if I am in a collision.
2009 chevy silverado lost traction on highway during slippery road conditions, vehicle spun out and hit a metal roped fence head on and also went across the median and slammed the front end of vehicle into a guard rail stopping it instantly from going into on coming traffic. The vehicles damage was on the front end directly in the center causing a wedge into the radiator, engine and bent the front of the frame. The impact was very loud and solid. The impact caused the truck to stand on the front of vehicle, slamming the back end of the vehicle on the ground with great force. The airbag didn't deploy which at the speed of around 60 MPH and the place the vehicle was hit in, makes me very concerned on the safety of this vehicle. My 5 year old son said his right arm was hurting after the accident and with in the hour of having the accident myself ended up in the hospital with a stiff neck and a very soar and bruised back, I was released with minor injuries and I consider myself lucky. Please let me know if anything can be done about this situation and the safety of myself and my son.
