Well my air bag light stay on never goes over and my driver seat belt does not even lock at all. Then I keep hear this popping noise that come from hub and shocks and nothing on my dash works 1st it started off by I couldnt see what gear I was in. My driver seat u push the button to go forward it moves the seat back. My heat blower has something wrong with and it has something to do with this purple wire on the floor bored. Now my truck cant get on the free way because every thime I get on the freeway and on the free way four more then 10-15 min my truck just shuts off. My heated seated only stay on for 1 to 2 min and then keeps shutting off. My back seats dont let down at all. Then at the bottom of my truck where the oil pan is for some reason there is always alot of oil all over at the bottom like someone just dip my truck in a big bowl of oil. Then when my ignition where the yellow black and red wire go to the top of my ignition the black plug is real lose and can't replace at all. And with everything on now with my income im already out of $5,000 already for parts and labor this is mu only car I have and I really need my car right now dont have money to go buy a new truck or car. I really need my truck it mean alot to me.

Takata recall is necessary my airbag light is on upon starting vehicle along with service airbag warning. I am afraid that this is an unsafe condition that should be repaired at no cost to me as there seems to be many other complaints on this same issue.

One day this winter I went out in the garage and started my tahoe. Out of the blue my service air bag light came on. Today I took my care to get it checked out and the error codes (b0051 & b0053) indicated that the airbags had been deployed. The service manager agreed that there was no evidence of a collision or that the air bags had been deployed, and that the air bags are not working. Due to the age of the vehicle they indicated that there was nothing they go do to cover the work needed to repair the problem and get the airbags working again. The estimate is for $1,200. They also indicated that there were not any recalls or service bulletins on this type of problem.I contacted gm via chat, and they said there were not recalls or service bulletins for this issue, and they could not due anything to assist with the repair. I am the original owner and always kept the vehicle in good working order using the original dealer, and have not had any accidents with the vehicle. I can afford to get the repair done, my concern is how many other people that can't might be impacted by this and will drive the vehicles without the air bags.

All of the sudden the air bag indicator light came on and a message appeared saying "service air bag". We took it to a mechanic and he hooked it up to the computer system and it said that whole air bag system had failed (several sensors had failed). We called chevy to see if it might be able to be fixed with a warranty, but they said the car is out of warranty. (we knew this, but figured there should be an extended warranty on airbags.) they told us to take it to a chevy dealership. We called the local dealership and they told us it would cost $100 for the diagnostic test. However, we already did this with our other mechanic. Chevy basically wouldn't help us unless we paid for the diagnostic which is ridiculous since we already did that. The guy at the dealership told us that we could drive around, no problem, but that the air bags wouldn't deploy. We were told by our mechanic that it would be very expensive to fix this. We think it is unfair that we have to pay to get this fixed, when there has never been any accidents with this car. The airbags have never deployed, and all the sudden the system won't work if we need it and get in an accident. We're asking for help to get chevy to fix this problem because they should. This could be a potential lawsuit if there were an accident. Please help us to get chevy to take responsibility for an error that happened during the building of the car.

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet tahoe. The gauges on the instrument panel malfunctioned. The speedometer would display high speeds when the vehicle was stopped. The vehicle ran out of fuel because the gauge indicated that fuel was present. The manufacturer sent the contact a letter to have the vehicle inspected concerning these failures. She stated that it was not a recall repair, just an improvement. The vehicle exceeded the 70,000 mile limit that was referenced in the letter, therefore the adjustment was not free. The failure mileage was 60,000 and current mileage was 77,000. Updated 12-13-07. *kb the air bag light had illuminated as well.

I purchased new and still own a 2003 chevy tahoe. For the last year and a half the airbag light comes on from time to time. I have had the truck at the dealer numerous times and they tell me they cannot fix the problem. What I have been told is that this light means that the airbag will not deploy if the vehicle gets into an accident. I am very frustrated that this safety issue cannot be corrected.
