2012 Chevrolet Traverse Air Bags

After sliding into a ditch, my drivers side, curtain airbag deployed but, instead of covering the drivers side door window, it came out and went across my face, hitting me on the right side of my head, slamming my head into the drivers side window glass and pinning me between the airbag and the window glass, obviously putting my safety at risk. I am currently being treated for neck injuries as a result of this airbag malfunction. The problem has not been reproduced/confirmed by dealer/independent service center. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. Photos of the vehicle including the airbags have been sent to my insurance company (Allstate). There were no warnings or symptoms of the problem prior to the collision and no other vehicles were involved. Upon visual inspection, both the driver and passenger side curtain airbags are twisted around itself 4 or 5 times at the anchor point, located at the front of the door frame. The vehicle is currently in our shop at our residence.

Airbags deployed unexpectedly while I was driving on the freeway.

Airbags failed to deploy on drivers side and in the front after an impact of 35 MPH. My daughter and myself got severely hurt due to this malfunction. yes it has been inspected. no there were never any indicators for the airbags ever in the four years I have owned the car.

The airbag light is on for the passenger seat and the clips under the seat are loose

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WITH ABOUT 38,000 MILES OWNED SINCE PURCHASED NEW. "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE AND WARNING LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY BEING DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER GETTING OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER. DEALER NOW WANTS $100 JUST TO DIAGNOSE.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. WENT IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND LIGHT IS STILL ON. JERRY'S CHEVROLET SAID IT WOULD COST $300 TO FIX. BOB BELL SAID THE SAME. CHEVROLET OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE EITHER.

RECENTLY, THE SERVICE AIR BAG COMES ON THE DASH BOARD AND FLASH IN THE DISPLAY WHEN I START THE ENGINE. IT COMES ON WHEN I'M SITTING AT THE LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS RANDOM AND IT HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN THE PAST. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF ME SITING AT THE LIGHT AND THE SERVICE AIR BAGS POPS UP.THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AS WE ALL KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR AIRBAGS.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND AFTER 2 SERVICE CALL THE DEALER DETERMINE THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW AIRBAG INSTALLED.

"SERVICE AIR BAG" IS INDICATED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. THIS HAPPENS, STOPPED, OR WHILE IN MOTION. IT COMES AND GOES AT NO SET TIME.

"TAKATA RECALL" WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK MY CAR IN 3 TIMES AND FINALLY THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN MANY RECALLS PERTAINING TO AIRBAGS I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE COST FOR THE NEW AIR BAG WAS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WAS GOING TO SPEND THAT KIND MONEY WHEN THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY RECALLS. I FEEL SINCE TAKATA WENT BANKRUPT I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THEY CONTRACTED TAKATA AN OUTSOURCE COMPANY.

I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A TAKATA PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS INFORMED THAT TAKATA WENT BANKRUPT. ON NOVEMBER 1, 2017 I TOOK MY SUV INTO GEORGE NAHAS CHEVROLET DEALER DUE TO MY PROBLEM . I INFORMED THEM THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN REACH UNDER MY SEAT AND MOVE THE WIRES AND THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. THEY CHARGE ME $199.90 FOR A DIAG AND LATER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A POOR CONNECTION. I DROVE THE CAR AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN AND I THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT THIS TIME BUT AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. BACK AGAIN TO NAHAS CHEVROLET AND THIS TIME AFTER WAITING HOURS THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND IT WILL COST ME $1,037.90. I WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. I DECIDED NOT TO PAY $1,037.90 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS A 2012. I ASKED THE MANAGER TO REFUND MY $199.90 BECAUSE AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR IT WASN'T FIX AND THEN AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I MET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, MY CONVERSATION WITH HIM WAS SINCE NATAKA WENT BANKRUPT NO OTHER NOTIFICATIONS WOULD BE GIVEN. IN MY OPINION NOW CHEVY OR THE DEALER NOW CARRIES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM AND AGREE WITH ME THAT THE DEALER HAS TO FIX MY PROBLEM.

BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AND HALF AGO AND SEVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON SO DEALERSHIP FIXED PROBLEB BECAUSE ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON 4 MONTHS LATER.
