MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MAKER SAYING THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AOS. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE LIGHT STARTED TO APPEAR AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SAME PLACE AND NOW THEIR ARE SAYING MY SENSING DIAGNOSTIC MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS WAS SOMETHING NOT DONE CORRECTLY BY THE MANUFACTURER AND I SHOULDN'T BE LIABLE FOR IT. IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DON'T DEPLOY, OR THEY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, I WILL PURSUE LEGAL ACTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (RON CRAFT CHEVROLET 4114, I-10, BAYTOWN, TX 77521 (281) 839-2586) BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE AUTOMATIC OCCUPANT SENSING SYSTEM (AOS) IS FAILING TO RECOGNIZE THE FRONT PASSENGER. THE SERVICE AIRBAG ALERT GOES OFF AND ON EVERY 3 TO 4 MINUTES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2015 CHEVY IMPALA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE IN ERROR. I FEAR FOR MY DAUGHTERS SAFETY ,AND HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH VEHICLE INCLUDING MAJOR ELECTRICAL, KEY FOB, BATTERY CHARGING, COMPLETE AC FAILURE WHICH WILL BE A 2400.00 CHARGE IN WHICH I CANT AFFORD ON TOP OF THE AIR BAG ISSUE AND HAVE GOTTEN NO RESOLUTION. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE FINANCED, THIS IS A TOTAL NIGHTMARE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HOPEFULLY FOLLOW UP WITH THIS ISSUE. THANKS

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF?

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF INDICATOR ABOVE WINDSHIELD ALSO GOES ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BOTH OCCUPIED AND UNOCCUPIED AND CAN BE MADE TO GO ON AND OFF BY MOVING PASSENGER SEAT FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING. STARTED APPROX. OCT 15, 2019. TODAY IS NOV 21, 2019

I HAVE HAD MY 2015 IMPALA AT DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR MY AIRBAG SENSOR ON PASSENGER SEAT AND HAVE PAID MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR HAD A RECALL ON AIRBAGS BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM BUT A SAFETY ONE I STILL HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. WITH THIS YEAR HAVING ISSUES WITH AIRBAG AND THIS BEING THE SEAT SENSOR I BELIEVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED, MY TCN NUMBER IS AIN16-53807

TAKATA RECALL THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS ALSO A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE CAR AND THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY WHEN I START THE CAR UP.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTY ROAD, I SNEEZED AND HIT MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIT A TREE AT 40 MPH. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT 40MPH IN A FRONTAL CRASH. IT TOTALED THE CAR. BENT THE FRAME AND FRAME AROUND THE MOTOR. MY PASSENGER WAS HURT WORSE THAN ME. WHY DIDN'T MY AIR BAGS DEPLOY?
