Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving 10 mph and making a u-turn, the contact crashed the vehicle over a curb. the air bags failed to deploy. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. on a separate occasion, the power steering seized. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the failure could not be duplicated. the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 14v346000 (electrical system) and the vin was included. the contact stated that her daughter failed driving exams three times due to the failures. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
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
Passenger airbag sensor malfunction. seems like multiple people have had this issue. should be a safety recall. i had to pay over $800 to repair at dealership. *js
As i was driving my service airbag light came on. unfortunately it was a weekend so the dealership was closed. the next morning i started looking up recalls on my car. the result was no recalls on my car but i found hundreds of complaints about the same issue i'm having. i took my concern to the chevy dealer they diagnosed my car with a faulty airbag sensor in the passenger side seat the cost was $800 to replace i immediately called gm directly and expressed my concern. after two day and many phone calls to the man at gm that was handling my case they told me they couldn't help me. this is faulty product that is put in vehicles that we the consumers are driving our families around in. gm needs to get on the ball , recall these faulty parts before there is a fatality. my passenger side airbag does not work so i am unable to drive my car with a passenger. i am completely disgusted with the service and the product gm produces. *tr
A electrical fuse short has caused the passenger airbag to no longer activate/ turn on when a passenger is in the front seat. thus, when a passenger is in the seat, the air bag will not deploy. both the fuse and the module are required to be replaced. no damage or change was done to the vehicle to cause the shortage in the electrical system. *tr

i have taken my car into the dealership and had them check it out to see what is wrong and for $100 diagnosis charge. they told me that it needs a new passenger airbag sensor...on the repair ticket it is stated as dtc b0081 passenger seat problem. i have around 55,000 miles and no warranty left. researched this issue and found many types of gm chevy models with the same issue. this cost should not be on the consumer and should be investigated. if you can help please email me at [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the passenger air bag warning lamp illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the technician diagnosed that the passenger side seat air bag sensor mat was defective and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 17,500 and the current mileage was 18,000.
Passenger air bag sensor did not detect a passenger in the seat, had to pay $$ to have this replaced. on star red light was also on then green on & off. on star said it a communication failed & with the accident notification. the car was checked at dealership same time the air bag sensor was checked. then checked 2 more times since. the dealership could not find the problem & told us they would have to take dash & console out to find problem at our expense & our expense for a diagnostic again. we now have the car at a different gm dealership that has a testing instrument for the antenna and. it charging us for the diagnostic. we bought this car off show room at dealership for our daughter to have a dependable safe car to get her through high school & college. no the extended warranty hasn't covered any of this. *tr
With no one sitting in the passenger seat, i turned the car on and the passenger airbag light flashed on and off. the drivers panel airbag light was flashing. it would go off with some turns off the car. left or right didn't matter. this went on for a few months. if someone sat in the seat they would have to move around for the sensor to pick up they were in the seat. the airbag light in the drivers panel eventually stayed a solid light and no longer flashed. *js
Vehicle displays a "service airbag" light and message in the message display. i was told that this will lead to a non-deployable airbag in case of an accident. several people have the same problem. i was told that the sensor is defective. *tr

Chevrolet camaro 2010, driving on interstate vehicle steering became stiff (felt as if it locked up). slid off interstate across two lanes off traffic into the crash barrier. $23,000 worth of damage. total of course. airbags did not deploy, onstar did not activate. *tr
Air bag light came on and will not go off; i have seen several reports online of others having the same problem. *tr
My passenger side airbag does not recognize when i have a passenger that meets the weight requirements, i have read several forums of same problems and can't seem to get chevy to realize this is a malfunction and a safety issue, i think that a recall should be made and this should not be owners expense, but my local dealer says it is. this posses a threat to my passengers and could cause malfunction in any of my airbags. *tr
I have a display on dashboard that said service air bag, i went to the dealer and they told me i had to pay 900 dollar for an airbag sensor on the passenger side. i'm the only driver for the car and is rare when i have a passenger. i heard other people having the same issues. *tr

For the past three years there has been a tear in the top of the dash on the passenger side and it appears to be something under the dash is pushing up to create the slit in the dash. i am concerned that it is the airbag and i do not know if it is getting ready to go off on its own or exactly what is going on with it as it is growing. the slit or tear is aprox. 4 inches long and the bump up is to the right of it. *tr
We told dealer about trouble air bag before warranty and they checked free under warranty claimed due to oversize tires after we used tires up to milage and got new back to factory size tires and advised this did not clear up the notice on panel - check airbag as there was no light on at that time they want 1,000 to fix although we tried and even went back before the 36,000 went out to explain after warranty etc and they said no worries after tires are used and replace and realigned if it doesnt clear they would take care of it rivergate tom bannen is now serra we purchased a 2012 camaro and noticed the recall in 2012 although we continued to drive with the check airbag code the dealer assured we were in no danger and the airbag will deploy although we are fearful it will not especially now we know there is a recall for the 2012 we know it should apply to the 2010 also fyi - we also will complain on another affected part we have paid $800 for recent that also should apply that only applies to 2012. *tr
Passenger side service air bag light turns on anytime i place something on the passenger seat or when someone sits down. this is a manufacturers defect in the airbag or airbag sensor and has been a problem since i first purchased the vehicle. i am concerned that if i have an accident the airbags will not deploy properly.
