2015 Chevrolet Camaro Air Bags

I was recently involved in an auto accident and my Chevy Camaro was totaled. I was hit on the right passenger fender/tire side area. My air bags did not deploy and i feel that they should have been deployed with the impact that my vehicle took. Component - Airbags Safety - Airbags did not deploy to prevent injury Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer - Yes, Called Chevy & NHTSA on 04/16/24 Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - No, Not yet. Sitting in initial spot after auto accident. Non Drivable Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - No. No Warning Lights, or Indicators stating air bag failure.

CAR WAS HIT FROM BEHIND, SPUN ON HIGHWAY AND ULTIMATELY CRASHED HEAD ON INTO THE MEDIAN. FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HIT THEIR HEADS ON THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDETERMINED SPEED, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. DURING THE CRASH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY FOR THE OCCUPANT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED FATAL INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED A CAR WRECK WERE MY VEHICLE WAS TOTAL OUT BUT MY AIR BAG DID NOT COME OUT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WAS SURVEY HURT I SASTAINED HEAD INJURIES AND A BROKEN LEG AND ANKLE I WAS TRYING TO REACH OUT TO SOME ONE TO SEE IF THIS COMPANY COULD HELP

GM CHEVROLET CAMARO AIRBAGS DIDNOT DEPLOY AT ALL. CAMARO TOTAL LOSS, A SUBJECT OF MULTIPLE COLLISIONS 1 LEFT FRONT STRUCK BY ANOTHER DRIVER, RIGHT FRONT RESULT FROM INITIAL, AND CENTER COLLISION (MOST EXTENSIVE IMPACT AND DAMAGE.

I HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE OFTEN RIDES WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 130 POUNDS AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILS TO TURN ON ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, WE HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THEN SHE HAS TO EXIT AND RE-ENTER THE SEAT. THIS USUALLY TURNS THE AIRBAG ON. THIS IS AT BEST, INCONVENIENT, BUT AT WORST IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS HAZARDOUS! THE LOCAL DEALER CONTACTED GM/TAC IN DETROIT AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS AS FOLLOWS: "YOUR VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE PER TAC THAT ANYONE 120 POUNDS AND UNDER WILL NOT TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS IS THE FINAL GM RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME" THE 120-130 POUND AIRBAG THRESHOLD SEEMS UNUSUALLY HIGH TO ME. IS THIS A NORMAL DESIGN FEATURE FOR ALL OF THESE CARS? WHY IS THIS WAY? IF I HAD KNOWN THAT WHEN CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT STARTED IN SEP. 2015 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY (JAN. 10, 2016)

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 CAMARO ON THE HIGHWAY GOING THE SPEED LIMIT (65MPH)BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NO SUDDENLY BRAKING OR CRASH THEY JUST DEPLOYED.
