THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING, ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTING VEHICLE AND DRIVING. THE LIGHT WOULD COME OFF AND ON OR STAY ON FOR A DAY OR TWO. TOOK VEHICLE INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO "READ THE MODULES". THEN TOOK VEHICLE INTO CHEVROLET DEALER REPAIR SHOP. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPAIRED THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. AIR BAG LIGHT AND MESSAGE STAYED OFF FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS. CURRENTLY WORKING WITH DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND FIX PROBLEM. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF AIR BAG AND WHETHER THEY ARE GOING TO PROTECT MY FAMILY IF NEEDED.
I ENTERED MY TRUCK AND FOUND A CRACK IN MY DASH RUNNING FROM THE VENTS ALL THE WAY OVER MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE NEXT DAY, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON TELLING ME THEY NEEDED SERVICING. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING OVER SOME POT HOLES IN A ROAD AND A BIG CHUNK OF MY DASH CRACKED AND JUMPED OUT ONTO MY DASH. AFTER GETTING HOME, I SEE THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK ON MY DASH. BEFORE CALLING A DEALER, SEARCHED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I FOUND THE CRACK AND THE SENSOR WERE RELATED AND OTHER HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RECALL YET. WHAT?? THAT CHUNK THAT FLEW OUT IS AS SHARP AS A RAZOR. IT COULD HAVE CUT ME OR LANDED IN MY EYE CAUSING INJURY. HOW CAN I DRIVE THE CAR KNOWING THE WHOLE DASH COULD SHATTER AT ANY TIME? I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY GM!!
DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. ONE BY PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ONE IN MIDDLE.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
