2 issues: 1: Brakes did not stop car nor did the abs braking system kick in causing the car to not stop on full demand! 2 cars slammed on their brakes at a yellow light instead of going thru causing a small number kiss Was going 35mph and when braking, car didn’t fully stop and out brakes tho to the floor. Abs did not kick in. No lights on dash board. 2: The very Next morning, The traction control light came on saying service the stabilitrak, traction control. The car ins denied it was from car accident. When The traction control light comes on the dashboard, by itself) it causes the car to automatically brake when accelerating whenever it chooses to come on causing it to be unsafe in traffic. You cannot control the button to turn it off. This has been an issue coming on and off at random to current.
Car seat will not lock into rear facing mode consistently. It slides right through the lock and requires me to turn it back into the lock again. It just spins on the base and I’m worried in a crash the locking mechanism will cause his seat to fly off. I have a video showing what it does.

Been over a year and there is still no parts to fix this open safety recall.
It has been a year since the recall on my vehicle with no remedy to the fix that needs to occur. Having a vehicle with an airbag the could cause more harm when in an accident isn't exactly safe to drive. I would like to know when this remedy will be completed due to the fact that I will also be having a teen driver soon and don't feel safe with her driving my car with this airbag defect.

WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET A NEW AIRBAG INSTALLED. IN FACT, WE HAD AN EARLY MORNING APPOINTMENT WITH CONCORD CHEVROLET TO HAVE NEW AIRBAGS INSTALLED THAT WERE RECALLED. SOUNDS DANGEROUS TO US IF WE SHOULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THEY WOULD FIRE METAL PARTS AT US RISKING OUR LIVES. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR IN AS PROMISED, AND WHEN HE GOT THERE THEY SAID THEY DIDIN'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. WHAT IS GOING ON? IT'S BEEN MONTHS NOW. WE DRIVE THE CAR AND PRAY THAT WE DON' GET IIN AN ACCIDENT NEEDING AIRBAGS. CHEVROLET HAS GOT TO FURNISH THEM SOON! NO MORE WAITING AROUND. IS THERE ANY OTHER PLACE WHERE WE CAN FIND THEM???
I received a recall notice dated June 2023 regarding the front driver airbag inflator. It may contain a defect resulting in inflator rupture during deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. To date, there is no remedy. I find that unacceptable.
Still waiting for a resolution to the recall notice.

There has been a recall regarding the airbags for a year now and there's still no remedy available. This is a safety recall that they say could result in death of driver if the airbag module were to explode. This needs to be repaired.

Recall was reported 5/10/2023. I have brought my vehicle to Chevy dealership. Remedy still not available. I am driving with risk of air bag inflator rupture and metal shrapnel. I feel as if this is an unsafe situation and Chevy is not offering any solution.

I wonder how long this unrepaired faulty air bag will take to get replaced? I read in the possible outcomes of a faulty airbag & it says flying metal can be FATAL. How long is the government going to let this go on? The NHTSA should put a stop build order on all new vehicles until they make repairs to the ones that are in the field waiting for recall parts. If you think GM gives a shit about what is in the field, you are sadly mistaken. I demand that our government get involved and start making GM get the parts & repair this recalled defect.

Airbags have been on recall. Received a letter from Chevy May 2023 of last year. At this time they still don't have a solution. Says if Airbag deploys could possible shoot small pieces of metal. Very unsafe to have on the road.

See attached document for complaint
June 2023 I received notice of a recall. As of today the parts for recall are still unavailable with no ETA. This is taking too long while putting me, a driver, at risk of injury or death if airbag goes off.
Driver side floor board is getting wet after rains. Confirmed it is not the heat coil or ac drain hose.

5/10/2023 Recall reported: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. 1/13/2024 My vehicle was brought to a Chevrolet dealership and I was told there was no solution or repair available for this recall as of now. Chevrolet still has not scheduled repair and I continue to drive at risk.

No issue has occurred yet. However, I was told to file a complaint due to the slowness of the recall fix. The recall occurred in June 2023 and nearly 9 months later there is still no remedy available.

Reading these
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.
