2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Air Bags Problems

I was in an accident with a friend in [XXX] We weren't doing over 30 to 35 miles per hour when we hit a deer. All I could remember was yelling because my wrist was broken and I had bone coming out from the air bags that deployed on my side of the car. The wind shield was cracked because of this as well. My friend had to jump out of the car to disconnect the battery because the car would not shut off or stop moving. The brake and parking brake was used but couldn't get it to stop. My friend had to crawl out the side window by them to let me out of the car because neither door opened to let us out. My friend was hurt as well but not as bad as my wrist. The er doctor told me since my wrist never healed or would ever heal correctly. That iwould have to go see a hand specialist to do surgery and put pins in but wasn't a guarantee fix. Till this day I have trouble working if it requires me to pick up heavy things with that hand because I just feel the pain and how it feels like it wants to come apart. This happened in bandera Texas on [XXX]. I did make a police report and even claimed it on my insurance. I was told the car was totaled due to cost of the air bags being deployed. I have not reported to anyone because people don't think it is a safety issue. So I'm still have debit from this incident that I don't want anyone to have to go through what I have since that day. I was seen at beorne Methodist er in beorne texas. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The passenger seat airbag indicates OFF on the status display inside the car. I have tried turning it on using the button on the status display with no success.

January 2023.. Structural Crack in the air bag dash location/passenger side...Looking at it more closely the crack continues in a perfect oval pattern. As of yet the car component in question has not been inspect by a dealer or others. When sitting back in the front passenger seat i can see that the dash is humped up in just that area..the oval area. This oval area is just above the word air bag on the face of the dash. My concern is that if this is the airbag it could deploy and injury myself and others and cause a serious accident. the car has approximately 74,000 miles on it

It doesn’t matter if someone is in the passenger seat or not, the airbag light keeps coming on on my dashboard saying that the passenger airbag has been disabled. The light will keep turning on and off even when someone is not in the passenger seat.

When driving I keep getting a airbag warning notification on for the passenger side saying there's an issue. And now my driver's seat is stuck all the way forward and won't recline. I can't even drive the vehicle now because the seat won't move back to get behind the wheel. I don't know what to do!

THE AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS STATIONARY, MOVING, WHEN SOMEONE IS THE SEAT OR NOT, ON BUMPY ROADS, AND ALL SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, WHO SAID IT'S THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT NEEDS REPLACING. HE SUGGESTED I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE IT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $800 TO FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING MEANWHILE AND THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 CAMARO. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WOULD BE ASKED TO PAY THAT MUCH TO FIX SOMETHING THAT ISN'T MY FAULT AND IN FACT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ERROR. ON TOP OF THAT, THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150 TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I TOLD THEM WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN!!!!

A 'SERVICE AIRBAG' NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN TURNING ON SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CAMARO (REGARDLESS OF SPEED AND/OR IF A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR). WHEN I TOLD MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHILE I WAS THERE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $120 FOR THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC AND THAT IF I GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY. I THINK IT'S UNFAIR AND IRRESPONSIBLE OF THEM TO CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC, FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 CAMARO AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFECT AND THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE FACT THAT THIS IS STILL NOT A RECALL IS CRIMINALLY NEGLECTFUL AND I BELIEVE THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY.

I RECENTLY NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD AND BELIEVED IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. REQUESTED A COMPANY TO REPAIR CRACK, BUT REPRESENTATIVE UNABLE TO REPAIR CRACK DUE TO LOCATION BEING ABOVE THE AIRBAG. UPON FUTURE INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE SAME HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE EXACT LOCATION ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. FOR THE CRACK TO OCCUR IN THE SAME LOCATION ON DIFFERENT VEHICLES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT BECOMING COMPROMISED.

THE IMAGE YOU SEE IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AIRBAG THAT A LADY SUFFERED FROM YOUR RECENT RECALLED AIRBAG TAMARA. I HAVE SIMILAR EVIDENCE IN THE SAME EXACT AND LENGTH AND WIDTH CUT AS SHE DOES... I WAS A PASSENGER IN THIS CAR THAT BECOME OUT OF CONTROL, ALSO AN IGNITION RECALL WAS PROVEN TO HURT PEOPLE IN THE 2010 CAMARO. I WASN'T THE DRIVE SO ALL I KNOW IS DRIVER LOST CONTROL AN RAN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASS, FLUSH GROUND, INBETWEN A FENCE AND THE ROAD HAD 100-200 FT TO BRAKE AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD AVOIDING A COLVERT. BUT INSTEAD MAJOR MALFUNCTION.FRONTAL AIRBAGS WENT OFF AT THE WRONG TIME, ALSO EVIDENCE SHOWS AIRBAG CUT MY THROAT, ALSO SIDE AND SUNROOF AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! VEHICLE WENT AIRBORN, ALL ENDS OF VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED. NOTE. PASSENGER! NOT OWNER!

VEHICLE HAS HAD A CODE OF P008 INTERMITTENTLY THEN PERMANENTLY SINCE 68000 MILES, IT IS NOW AT 99,500 MILES. THE CODE RELATES TO TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING WHICH IS CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRE. SAME PROBLEM WITH IDENTICAL ENGINE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN FORM OF WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SEVERAL VEHICLES, INCLUDING CADILLAC CTS, EXTENDING WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120K MILES. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE FOR THE CAMARO FOR REASONS WHICH ELUDE ME. OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS WITH STALLING AND REDUCED POWER (ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS REQUIRING THE ADDITIONAL POWER), AS WELL AS ENGINE "ROUGHNESS" CERTAINLY CAUSE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ME. IN ADDITION, THE PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SAFETY BAG SEAT PAD SENSOR HAS BEEN ONGOING AND IS ALSO NOT RECALLED, ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM KEEPS PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF IN THE PRESENCE OF A PASSENGER DUE TO A SHORT IN THE PAD, ALSO WELL-DOCUMENTED AND CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM IS SIMPLY A NUISANCE AND NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS TIME. THE COST OF REPAIRS IS STAGGERING, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN AN INSTANCE WHERE A TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DURING THE EXPECTED OPERATING PERIOD OF A VEHICLE WITH NORMAL USE. CLEARLY IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AS IT HAS BEEN WITH OTHER VEHICLES UTILIZING THIS ENGINE. THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHICH GO UNREPORTED AND SIMPLY GET REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE IS ALSO QUITE SIGNIFICANT, ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITTENTLY IN LATE 2016 AND HAS BECOME A CONTINUAL PROBLEM AS OF THIS WRITING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AT THIS POINT, WITH THE P008 CODE.

WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE LAST WEEK. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT IS ON. TALKED WITH THE MECHANIC AND HE SHOWED ME EVERYTHING HE HAD TOUCHED ON MY VEHICLE. TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN ABERDEEN MD AND THEY SAID THAT AN OIL CHANGE WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR. ONE OF THE SERVICE GUYS TOLD ME IT IS NORMALLY A WIRE THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY BUT AFTER DOING RESEARCH I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD BE FIXING A SAFETY ISSUE, PLUS I AM SEEING THIS COMMON IN THESE CARS. WHAT ARE CHEVY'S PLANS TO FIX? I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY 11 YEAR OLD SON AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DEATH TRAP FOR HIM.

PASSENGER SIDE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON ANYTIME I PLACE SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OR WHEN SOMEONE SITS DOWN.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. IT HAS BEEN ON SINCE CAR HAD ABOUT 38K MILES ON IT. IT IS ON AT ALL TIMES. WAS INTERMITTINGLY AT FIRST WHEN SOMEONE SAT IN PASSENGER SEAT. I KNOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF IT.

MY VEHICLE HAS 40,970 MILES ON IT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAY SENSOR FAILING WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT, BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WHICH HAS LESS MILES ON IT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG SENSORS TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. THE SENSOR COSTS OVER $400.00 TO REPLACE.

Mileage: 40,970

THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON AND OFF IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SOME ONE IS SITTING IN IT, AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME, SO APPARENTLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ON OR WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, SO APPARENTLY THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS NOT WORKING AND IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A MAJOR COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL CAMARO AND I HEAR IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX IF ITS FIXABLE AT ALL

I HAD A AIR BAG SERVICE, LIGHT COME ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT, AFTER I PICKED MY SON UP, HE SAT DOWN PUT ON HIS SEAT BELT, THEN I GOT THE SERVICE AIR BAG ON MY DASH, AND THE LIGHT OVER THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WENT FROM ON TO OFF, AND STAYED OFF. I CALLED ONSTAR TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AND THEY SAID YES THEIR SHOWING A TSB CODE OF BOO81, AND AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FINED THAT THIS AN ON GOING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT MY CHEVY DEALER, TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE, THEN CONTACT GM AGAIN, TO SEE IF THEIR GOING TO COVER THIS, BUT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY, I LET THEM NO IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WARRANTY, IT'S A MATTER OF SAFETY AND SHOULDN'T MATTER IF IT'S A WARRANTY ISSUE, SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE, AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS AS A DEFECTIVE PART OR PARTS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, I PLAN ON BRING IT TO THE DEALER WEDNESDAY 21 JUNE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $150.00 DOLLARS, JUST TO FINED WHAT PART OF THE AIRBAG SYS IS DEFECTIVE, GM SHOULD FIX THIS, FOR IT IS A MATTER OF SAFETY NOT WARRANTY RELATED ISSUE.

I AM AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION AGAINST GM FOR THIS ISSUE, AND I HOPE THE PLAINTIFFS WIN AND THE SETTLEMENT CAUSES GM TO HAVE TO RECALL ALL OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS, REGARDLESS OF YEARS AND MILAGE OWNED, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL OWNERNER OR NOT.

AROUND 60,000 MILES THE "CHECK AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG COMES ON AND GOES OFF DURING TRAVEL. IF I WAS TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHILE THE BAG HAPPENS TO HAVE TURNED ITSELF OFF, I'M AFRAID A MUCH GREATER INJURY WILL OCCUR. DEALER SAYS ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST AROUND $1,000 TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER BOARD IN PASSENGER SEAT. I BELIEVE THIS AFFECTS OTHER CHEVROLET MODELS AS WELL. CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL THE CIRCUIT BOARD BEFORE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE INJURED OR KILLED.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE APPEARED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND I SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 CAMARO AND HOW THE AIRBAG SENSORS ARE FAULTY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN BRIDGEWATER NJ. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE SDM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON THE CAR. THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE 950 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. THEY STATED THAT MY AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WERE UNSURE IF THE AIRBAGS COULD DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE BY GM, BUT YET NO RECALL. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS? HOW IS GM ALLOWED TO MAKE MONEY OFF THIS, FROM 800-1000 PER CAR. THIS IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH NO AIRBAGS UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THE FIX.

THEN IT COMES BACK INTERMITTENTLY, AGAIN WITH NOTHING ON THE SEAT. THE ISSUE STARTED APPEARING ON ITS OWN. I'VE SEARCHED IN ONLINE FORUMS AND SEE THAT A LOT OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, AND WHEN THEY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER EXPECTS FOLKS TO PAY A HIGH PRICE TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. I'VE VERIFIED THAT THERE ARE NO CABLES UNPLUGGED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND EVEN VERIFIED THAT ALL CABLES ARE PLUGGED IN SNUGGED TO THE MODULE.

AIR BAG SENSOR BEGAN GOING OFF ON MY 2010 CAMARO ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHICH AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME IF THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF VEHICLE IS HIT. THEY DID LOOK FOR AIR BAG RECALLS AND FOUND NONE; HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THEY AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO. A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY SAFETY ISSUES. ALL SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. *TR

2/25/15 - (CAMARO 2010 SS2, AUTO) UPON STARTUP THE "CHECK AIRBAG " ALARM SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED FOR ABOUT 5-8 SECONDS, AND THEN NORMALIZED.

I DROVE ABOUT 350 MILES, STOPPING AND STARTING AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENCE. 3/14/15 - WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET (ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOME), THE SAME OCCURRENCE AS ABOVE WAS NOTED. I KEEP MY CAMARO SPOTLESS AND MOSTLY IN THE GARAGE. I'VE DISMISSED THESE INCIDENTS, BUT AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR RESPONSES, I FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE OFFICIAL NOTE THEREOF. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON. IT GOES ON/OFF AT WILL. IT APPEARS AFTER READING OTHER POST, THAT THIS IS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT IT.

I OWN A 2010 CAMARO WITH 65,000 MILES. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM STARTED SHUTTING OFF AND ON RANDOMLY WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO WHILE ON A WEEKEND TRIP. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY DEALER AND CONTACTED GM COMPLAINT CENTER ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR PAD AS THE CAUSE. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE AND COVER LABOR BUT NOT THE COST OF PART $311. MY VEHICLE HAS 65000 MILES ON IT I PURCHASE IT NEW AND THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED MUCH AT ALL. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT PAD SENSOR. THE PAD ITSELF COVERS THE ENTIRE SEAT BOTTOM MADE OF THIN PLASTIC WITH SENSORS BETWEEN THE PLASTIC. I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM EVEN AFTER THE PAD IS REPLACED. VEHICLES ARE ENGINEERED TO BE SAFE USING SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS TOGETHER BUT THEY MUST FUNCTION TO DO SO. I HOPE GM STEPS UP AND LOOKS INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE THERE IS A FAILURE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO AN INJURY OR DEATH. I WILL HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT MY CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THE DEPENDABILITY OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN MY CAMARO! *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAMARO INDICATING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE JIM ELLIS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD IN ATLANTA, GA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SEAT SENSOR THAT DETERMINES IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS ON OR NOT HAD DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE RISK I RAN WAS THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AT A TIME THAT I DIDN'T WANT IT TO. MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED THE YEAR BEFORE WHICH MEANS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE FULL PRICE. THIS FIX COST ME OVER $800 AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE HAVING TO SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY ON A STANDARD FEATURE OF A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO MALFUNCTION, ESPECIALLY THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFE. IT HAS OCCURRED TO ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM AMONGST CAMAROS BETWEEN 2009 AND 2012. I BELIEVE I SPEAK FOR MOST CONSUMERS WHEN I SAY THAT WE HOLD GENERAL MOTORS AT A HIGHER STANDARD THAN THIS AND THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS IN OUR VEHICLES ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE FIRST 65,000 MILES OF IT'S LIFE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF GENERAL MOTORS REIMBURSED ME THIS $800 SINCE I THIS IS A PROBLEM I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS SOON IN THE VEHICLES LIFETIME. I LIKE DRIVING MY CAMARO AND I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT SAFELY WITHOUT BEING HINDERED BY MAJOR REPAIR COSTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED OUT WITH THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING DISPLAYING ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN ON THE DASH AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE ON/OFF LIGHT ON THE DOME LIGHT THE PASSENGER BAG IS OFF WHEN THIS WARNING COMES ON. OVER THE PAST MONTH IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IT PROGRESSED TO JUST HAVING THE WARNING GO OFF ALL THE TIME NOW, EVEN WHEN I DON'T HAVE A PASSENGER. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 MODEL AIRBAG SENSORS GOING BAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY BLOGS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR AIRBAG SENSOR. I HAVE EVEN READ THAT THIS FIX COSTS OVER $800 TO THE CONSUMER. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS WILL RESULT IN A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND MOST LIKELY DEATHS, I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING A SUBSTANDARD PART INTO THEIR SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOU PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE HOW LITTLE USE THE PASSENGER SEAT GETS, BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR FOR MAYBE 5-10% OF THE TIME. SO THAT MEANS THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD SOMEONE IN THAT SEAT FOR ONLY 2500-5000 MILES. THAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE AND IT WENT BAD ALREADY. I FEAR THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, OR EVEN WORSE DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING AND THEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR
