2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO Air Bags Problems

they still havent replaced my airbag yet why is this even posable14 years yes 14 years to replace a national recall very unexctable get on them

I was driving home and a truck overpassed me on a loose sand area causing me to have to make a sudden brake and my car due to the loose sand and rocks sing around and hit a power pole and the impact to the power pole that was on the corner bounced me car back and my car did a flip and it landed on its front bumper and ultimately rolled over 4 times down a hill and landed on all four tires during the impact front airbags did not deploy my whole entire front dash board exploded and fragments flew everywhere once my car festered to roll the side airbags dropped but did not inflate, at the moment that my car hit the pole my driver seat physically came out of place and and even with my seat belt on it throw me to my backseat and caused the seat belt to me twisted around me, this same issue was allegedly fixed by three way Chevy I had made a report during the time frame of June2023 when three way failed to fix my recall and fraudulently reported the recall repaired yet said no work was done to my car I was in contact with u guys already and this is unfortunately proof that supports my initial report to you from 2023 and need this investigation reopened

When someone sits in the passenger seat the airbag light/alarm goes on and off. My mechanic said I would need to take it to the dealer. I called dealer and they would need to diagnose if it is the seat belt or the seat weight sensor. Can cost upwards of $900. I just can't afford that. They should recall since I've researched so many complaints on this issue.

Air bags

ON AUGUST 18TH 2020. I WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS 2011 CAMARO FROM TS AUTO SALES IN ORLANDO FLORIDA. THE SALESMAN NAME IS [XXX]. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE? HE SAID THE DRIVER SIDE WAS HIT AND IT WAS REPLACED. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE? HE SAID NO. AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I LATER FOUND OUT, THAT HE WAS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL WITH ME. I LOOKED THE VEHICLE UP, AND FOUND THAT THE AIR BAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION. I ALSO ASKED HIM WHY THE BATTERY WAS BEING DRAINED. HE SAID IT JUST NEED TO BE CHARGED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A STEVE'S AUTO ELECTRIC IN CLERMONT FLORIDA. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE COST OF $3,500. THIS IS A REBUILD ABLE TITLE. YOU CAN NOT GET THIS VEHICLE INSPECTED IF ALL OF THE REPAIRS ARE NOT DONE, AND YOU MUST HAVE RECEIPTS FOR EVERY PART THAT WAS REPAIRED, OR REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. TO MY UNDERSTANDING. IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE ANY MAJOR REPAIRS BEFORE SELLING A VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON THE DASHBOARD STATING REPAIRS NEEDED & REGARDLESS IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS 'OFF' IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. TODAY I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, THE AIRBAG WAS ON & ALL THE SUDDEN THE WARNING SOUND CHIMES & THE LIGHT WENT TO THE OFF POSITION.

Mileage: 95,000

THE 'SERVICE AIRBAG' NOTIFICATION KEEPS REPEATEDLY SHOWING ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST MONTH. THIS MESSAGE APPEARS WHETHER ANYTHING IS LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS ISSUE 'WILL COST A COUPLE HUNDRED' TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35-40 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE QUARTER PANEL OF HIS VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY A HEAVY TRUCK. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL, STRUCK AND RICOCHETED OFF A PICKUP TRUCK, STRUCK AND RICOCHETED OFF A GUARDRAIL, AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS LOWER BACK WAS SORE; HOWEVER, MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT SOUGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAD NOT DETERMINED IF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AROUND 100,000 MILES MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON, WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT AN EXPENSIVE PRICE. CURRENTLY RIDING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

AROUND 60,000 MILES, THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING WAS DISPLAYED ALONGSIDE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE. THE WARNING IS DISPLAYING AT ALL SPEEDS AND WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. I AM TRYING TO SELL THE VEHICLE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT WAS TOLD TODAY AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE VALUE OF MY TRADE-IN WOULD BE DECREASED BY $2,000 DUE TO THIS WARNING WHICH WOULD HAMPER ME FROM BEING ABLE TO AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THIS $2,000, SO IT SEEMS AS THOUGH I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A VEHICLE OF WHICH ITS AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. I AM UNSURE WHAT MORE I CAN DO GIVEN THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY OTHERS WITH UNRESOLVED CONCERNS SIMILAR TO THIS.

Mileage: 60,000

AROUND 60,000 MILES, THE 'SERVICE AIRBAG' WARNING BEGAN DISPLAYING FROM WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED UNTIL IT IS SHUT OFF. I AM INTERESTED IN SELLING THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE "$2,000" OFF OF WHAT WOULD BE OFFERED FOR THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT SOUNDS TO BE A RELATIVELY COMMON PROBLEM THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING - BUT EVEN MORE CONCERNING, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS ERROR MAY DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAG ALTOGETHER WHICH IS A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING I DON'T HAVE $2,000 TO PUT TOWARD THE CAR TO RESOLVE THIS ERROR.

TAKATA RECALL INTERMITTENT SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT 1ST TIME SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 8K MILE DEALER FIX WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION 2ND TIME SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF. 3RD TIME WAS ABOUT 3YRS AFTER 2ND INCIDENCE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON DEALER FIX R&R SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. $420.00 LABOR $425.00 PARTS TOTAL $907.13.

Mileage: 73,000

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND DEALER WANTS $99 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND UP TO $700 TO FIX. FOUND OUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND A LAWSUIT SO IT SHOULD MAYBE BE A RECALL! THE CAR HADN'T BEN DRIVEN FROM OCTOBER 1ST UNTIL MAY 1ST BECAUSE IT WAS IN STORAGE AND THE LIGHT CAME ON THE MINUTE WE DROVE IT.

AT ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON THE CAR, I STARTED GETTING INTERMITTENT CODES WHENEVER SOMEBODY WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT ABOUT THE AIRBAG NOT BEING ACTIVATED. AFTER SOME TIME THE CODE WAS STEADY AND NOW THE AIRBAG REMAINS DEACTIVATED AT ALL TIMES, EVEN IF SOMEONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I DID HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AND IT CAME UP AS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE, THE REPLACEMENT COST IS APPROXIMATELY $1,000. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THROUGH A RELATIVE THAT HAS ACCESS TO THE MECHANICS COMMUNICATION BOARD THAT ALTHOUGH IT COMES UP AS THE MODULE IT IS A KNOWN WIRING ISSUE. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON THROUGH SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF THE CAMARO. I DID REACH OUT TO CHEVROLET ABOUT THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THE ONLY HELP THAT THEY WOULD OFFER WAS TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP SO THE DEALERSHIP COULD CALL ME SO I CAN BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT FIXED. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND CHANGING THE MODULE DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING SYSTEM. I'M A LITTLE OUTRAGED THAT CHEVROLET HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND YET CONTINUES TO USE THE SAME SYSTEM IN OTHER YEAR MODELS AND CHOOSES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. SO AT THIS MOMENT I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH OUT AN AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE ON SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE.

PASSENGER AIR BAG KEPT COMING ON AND STAYED ON

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN STARTED

SERVICE AIR BAG SUDDENLY CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE CAR ALARMS EVERY FEW SECONDS AND FLASHES THE WARNING SERVICE AIR BAG. IT WILL NOT GO OFF AND PREVENT ME FROM SEEING HOW FAST I AM GOING ETC ETC. I STILL HAVE A WARRANTEE ON CAR BUT I AM SURE IT DOES NOT INCLUDE AIR BAG. IT IS SCARY TO DRIVE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF AIR BAG WILL ENGAGE AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK. I AM TERRIFIED. ALSO THE TRACTION ENDED UP FRYING MY COMPUTER AND AFTER 2000 DOLLARS LATER MY CAR SOUNDS LIKE STARTER OR BATTERY IS DRAINED. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE IT FRIED THE COMPUTER THE FIRST TIME.VERY FRUSTRATING.

SERVICE AIRBAG RANDOMLY COMES ON. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON THEN GO OFF WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING AS WELL AS PARKED. IT WILL STAY ON FOR RANDOM DURATIONS WHICH ALSO DISABLES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENS IN CITY OR ON HIGHWAYS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND HAS ABOUT 85000 MILES ON IT AND TOOK IT IN BECAUSE OF AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON. I WAS TOLD PASSENGER PRESENT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH CAUSES AIRBAG LIGHT TO REMAIN ON WHEN CAR IS MOVING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS I LOOKED ABOUT THIS CLAIM AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CAMAROS WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A $700 REPLACEMENT AND DOES NOT SIT WELL WITH ME AS I'VE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHEVYS AND NOT HAD ISSUES BEFORE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF I HAVE TO PAY $700 TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS DEFECTIVE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHERS THEN THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT FALL ON CONSUMER TO GET IT REPLACED. LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE HERE! THANKS *TR

I ORIGINALLY HAD TROUBLE WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN 2013. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THEY WHERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND IT WAS FINE. NOW WITH THE VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY ANYTIME SOME ONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF THE WHOLE TIME I AM DRIVING. MOST RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED TURNING ON AND OFF EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE SEAT. RETURNED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND IT WILL BE $700 PLUS TO FIX. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO 2015 MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SAID OFF AND HAS CONTINUED TO STAY OFF NO MATTER WHO SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. AT THE TIME I HAD 2 RECALLS ON MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND I TOLD MY DEALERSHIP BOBBY MURRAY CHEVROLET AT THE TIME ABOUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MYSELF FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. I'M A SINGLE PARENT AND LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND ONLY HAVE 1 CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION, SO I'M UNABLE TO SHELL OUT THE $ TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DIAGNOSE AND REPAIRED. MY CAR WAS OUTTA OF ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND I HAVE ANOTHER WARRANTY BUT THE CO TOLD ME NO WARRANTY CO WILL REPAIR ANYTHING TO DO WITH AIRBAGS. SO I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE IF A RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY AIRBAG REDLIGHT ON DASH IS ON AND I'M ASSUMING IF I'M IN A WRECK MY AIRBAGS WON'T WORK I DON'T KNOW. I HAD 46,636 MILES ON MY 2011 CAMARO. I'VE TALKED WITH DEALER OVER THIS PAST YEAR TO SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE AND ALL THEY SAY IS THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE WATS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND WOULD HAVE TO TAKE APART TO FIND THE PROBLEM & I HAVE TO PAY. I'VE SPOKEN TO GM HEADQUARTERS ALL THEY SAID IS THEY'LL PAY A $100 TOWARD DIAGNOSIS. DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL PAY TOWARDS THE REPAIR ANY. I DON'T HAVE EXTRA MONEY FOR PAY FOR REPAIR AND I'VE RESEARCHED OTHER PEOPLE'S REPAIR COSTS AND IT RUNS AROUND $700-$1000. PLEASE HELP ME. I DON'T WANT TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE AIRBAGS DON'T DEPLOY. I'M ALL MY KIDS HAVE.

I WOKE UP ONE DAY TO FIND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL I WENT TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED. THE CAR WAS REJECTED DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ON. THE DEALERSHIP, WHO HAS DONE ALL THE SERVICE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, TOLD US IT WOULD BE $90 TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BE ON. IT TURNS OUT IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR UNTIL THE SEAT, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT. THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE WORN DOWN. THE COST TO CURE THIS IS $729! FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH HAD THE SAME THING. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I HAVE FILED A COMPLIANT WITH GM AND I AM AWAITING THEIR FINDINGS. *TR

WHILE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT SWITCH FROM ON TO OFF SETTING SEVERAL TIMES RIDING DOWN THE ROAD, IT WOULD STAY ON THE OFF POSITION FOR SOMETIMES AND THEN SWITCH TO ON SETTING, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TOUCH THE MENU BUTTON IN THE CAR TO GET THE ALARM FROM BEEPING. I CHECK AND FOUND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SERVICE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASE AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A SERVICE FEE OF $110.00 BECAUSE THE CAR JUST HAS WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. IF I AM RIDING IN THE CAR WITH THE AIR BAG OFF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE MY LIFE OVER SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD REPAIR AND HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2009. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I HAVE TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I TOOK IT IN SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANY MONEY FOR THE SERVICES. OUT OF ALL SEVEN TIMES THEY NEVER FIXED THE AIR BAG. NOW I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $109 FOR SERVICES TO FIX MY AIRBAG. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS, MEANING IF I GET INTO A WRECK MY AIRBAG WON'T WORK. EVERY TIME MY CAR WAS RELEASED FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MY AIR BAG LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON AFTER THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS ADJUSTED. I SUPPOSE ALL THEY DID WAS WIGGLE THE WIRE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT TO GET THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO GO OFF IN ORDER TO RETURN MY CAR TO ME KNOWING THAT IT WASN'T FIXED. NOW THEY ARE CHARGING ME MONEY TO GET THE AIR BAG FIXED WHEN IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE AT FAULT FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICES DEPARTMENT THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE. BUT THEY USED MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSTEAD OF PAYING $17 A DAY FOR ENTERPRISE'S INSURANCE COMPANY. I BELIEVE THIS IS WRONG BECAUSE IT IS THE MANUFACTURER'S FAULT THAT MY AIR BAG SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR ENTERPRISE'S INSURANCE ON THE RENTAL CAR I WAS PROVIDED WITH. THE TRUNK OF MY CAR ALSO IS BROKE AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $182 IN ORDER TO GET IT FIXED BUT I HAVE FULL COVERAGE WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE AIRBAG NEED SERVICE ALERT CAME ON WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED IVORY CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THE EARLIEST I COULD BE SEEN WAS MONDAY @ 8:30AM ,BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD ONE PERSON THAT COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I ARRIVED @ 7:45AM. AT 9:00AM I WAS ASKED, WHAT'S MY ISSUE AND AT 11:00 I ASKED WHY IT WAS TAKING SO LONG FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WILL CHECK. GUY APPROACH ME @ 12:00 AND ADVICE ME THAT THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND TO KEEP MY PURSE OUT OF THE CAR SEAT. THREE DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG ALERT & TIRE ALERT CAME ON. ONSTAR SYSTEM DO NOT SHOW DATA FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I SPOKE WITH A SERVICEMAN @ IVORY AND WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND REQUEST AN EXPLANATION. *JS

ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE SERVICE AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS TURNED ON IN MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EACH TIME WITH WORK LISTED AS CONNECTIONS CLEANED, SENSOR CHECKED, WARNING RESET.....BUT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AND NOTHING NOTED AS DEFECTIVE. I'VE BEEN TOLD PUTTING A LAP TOP ON THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD SET OFF THE SENSOR.....A BLUE-TOOTH CALL COULD SET OFF THE SENSOR, BUT NOT WHY? MOST RECENT TRIP (#5) TO HENDRICKS MOTORS WAS 04/24/2014. WE PICKED THE CAR UP, RAN ERRANDS (APPX. 40 MILES) AND THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN - THE SAME DAY! I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE AIR BAGS WILL STILL DEPLOY, THE AIR BAGS MIGHT DEPLOY, AND THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, AS LONG AS THE SERVICE LIGHT IS ON. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I AM TRYING TO DOCUMENT EVERYTHING IN CASE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE BAGS DON'T DEPLOY.

I WAS LEAVING WORK ONE DAY WITH NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT... I GOT A ERROR SAYING SERVICE AIRBAG. I CALLED THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.. THIS IS THE ONLY DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN THE NEXT DEALER IS 250 MILES AWAY.. WHEN A PASSENGER GETS IN THE CAR I GET THE ERROR EVERY 2 MINUTES IT WORKS THEN IT DOESN'T IT WILL STATE THE AIRBAG IS ON AND SECONDS LATER IT SAYS IT'S OFF AND A PASSENGER IS BUCKLED UP IN THE MOVING CAR... I'M AFRAID IT WILL DEPLOY WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR... PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE 2011 CAMARO I SEARCHED RECALLS AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR ALL 2010 AND 2012 CAMARO AIRBAGS... WHY SKIP 2011 IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PREVIOUS AND FOLLOWING YEAR THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE 2011 AS WELL..

I WAS TURNING RIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN BY MISTAKE THE BACK RIGHT TIRE AND WHEEL HIT THE CURVE AND THAT MADE A LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL IS LITTLE BIT DIAGONAL. WORST CASE SCENARIO THE BEARINGS IS BROKEN. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY WOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THAT MOMENT WHILE THE IMPACT IS ONLY ON THE WHEEL? ALSO MY FRIEND WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THE POWDER THAT COMES OUT FROM IT GOT ON HIS SKIN AND HE GOT BURNED FROM IT, SINCE THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE BURNS IF IT GETS ON UNPROTECTED SKIN, AND IT CAN SEVERELY IRRITATE THE LUNGS IF INHALED. THE MAIN POINT IS THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T DEPLOY IN A SMALL DAMAGE AS THIS, I HAVE SAID THAT BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED IT WITH 2010 S600 MERCEDES BENZ, THE DAMAGE WAS WAY WAY WORSE THEN THE ONE ON THE CAMARO. THE DAMAGE ON THE S600 WAS TO WHEELS BROKEN AND THE BODY GOT EFFECTED AND THE ACCIDENT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CAMARO AND THE AIRBAG ON THE S600 DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MERCEDES HAVE BETTER QUALITY AND MORE SAFETY THEN CHEVROLET. I WENT TO THE ROYAL CHEVROLET IN WEST BROAD STREET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THEY DIDN'T TREAT ME WELL THEY WERE TALKING TO ME AS CHILD THEY DIDN'T EVEN INSPECT THE CAR THEY JUST THE AIRBAGS DID WHAT IT SUPPOSE TO DO THAT WAS BY THE SERVICE MANAGER. I TOLD HIM THE DAMAGE WAS VERY MINOR AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T HAPPEN HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE WAS TRYING TO FLIP THE WHOLE THING ON ME. HE TOLD I HAVE NOTHING TO DO GO CALL GM. *TR

[XXX] MARCH 7, 2012 GM PO BOX 33170 DETROIT, MI 48232-5170 RE: CASE [XXX] GREETINGS: I WISH TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2011 CAMARO 2SS/RS CONVERTIBLE. THE SAFETY CRITICAL PASSENGER AIR BAG (INFLATABLE RESTRAINT) DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND READS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IN EXCESS OF 160 LBS IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME, BUT REPRODUCIBLE. IT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AND REPRODUCED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BY CERTIFIED GM MECHANICS AT FREEWAY CHEVROLET IN CHANDLER, ARIZONA, WITH MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES OF FREEWAY CHEVROLET OF VARYING WEIGHTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE SUMMARIZED THE REPAIR ATTEMPTS BELOW: DATEDAYS OUT OF SERVICEMILEAGECOMMENTS 6/28/201131,475MODULE REPLACEMENT 9/15/201122,246SENSOR AND MODULE REPLACEMENT 10/19/201122,856SENSOR REPLACEMENT 12/21/2011143,916REPROGRAM MODULE.

LEVEL 4 INDICATED ON ODBC (NON ADULT PASSENGER PRESENT). WIFE EXITED AND RE-ENTERED PASSENGER SEAT. LEVEL 6 INDICATED ON ODBC. WIFE SAT IN IDENTICAL CAR ON LOT AND PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THE LATEST RESPONSE ADVISED BY SHANE SCHMITT OF GM IS THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THIS RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE: 1.A 160 LB ADULT PASSENGER MUST ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG SENSOR. 2.THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT (ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME). THE SAME PERSON SHOULD NOT BE CLASSIFIED AS LEVEL 4 AND LEVEL 6 WITH THE SEAT IN THE IDENTICAL POSITION AND NO CHANGE IN BODY POSITION. 3.THIS INTERMITTENT ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED IN ANY OTHER GM VEHICLE, INCLUDING AN IDENTICAL MODEL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
