Air bag sensor under passenger wiring defective giving service air bag code this should be recalled due to safety issues
Service air bag warning. comes on only when passenger in seat. passenger pad sensor faulty.
No air bags did not deploy.
The passenger seat airbag sensor has malfunctioned and needs replaced at a cost of $1500.00. gm knows about the defect and that the passenger airbag will not deploy. there is currently a class action suit against the company.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the contact was concerned that the air bag might deploy. the contact took the vehicle to all american chevrolet of killeen (located at 1802 e central texas expy, killeen, tx 76541, (254) 213-5397) where it was diagnosed that the front passenger air bag sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 80,129.
Service airbag light on recently purchased vehicle. see class action suit filed on this and many complaints, but no investigations or reacalls. what are my options?
The warning light and message to "service airbag" illuminates when starting vehicle. the light remains on whether someone is seated in the passenger side or not. replacing the battery did not solve the problem. i'm not sure if the system is operating correctly or not.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. when the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and remained lit. the failure recurred several times. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 96,000.
Air bag warning light remains lit. first symptoms were when an occupant in the passenger seat sat down, air bag warning light came on. now it just remains lit even without occupant.
Passenger airbag warning light illuminates any time someone sits in passenger seat of car.
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.
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. thanks [xxx] bmc {sw} us navy retired [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*jb
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
We where driving looking at a local subdivision and we were doing 35 miles a hour when we hit a deer all air bags came out and i broke my wrist and my friend hurt his arm as well i was in the passenger side with my set belt on and when we hit the deer the air bag came out full force that i broke my wind shield as well
Air bags warning on dash is indicating a issue with the air bag. chevrolet wants over a 1000 dollars to fix. this is a safety issue and needs gm to step up and repair. potential ingury due to no air bag inflation at crash
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.
The "service airbag" warning indicator turns on and off randomly. sometimes it stays on for days/ weeks, sometimes it turns of for a few minutes. my vehicle only has about 64k miles on it, and it started happening at about 50k. i have yet had it repaired as i can not afford to pay al;most $1500 to $1900 to repair this. 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.
Check airbag light is on. chevrolet dealer service department inspected and found codes b0081-00 & b0074-00, noting that the passenger presence pad shorted out and that pad controls the passenger side air bag. they recommend to remove and replace passenger presence pad (part #20972507). we have extended warranty but they are stating anything safety system related is not covered and should be under a manufacturer recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was approximately 84,000. updated 08/30/16*lj updated 10/26/16.*jb
Tamara recall. the air bag light is on check engine light is on the ac is on and off.
I just notice 2 days ago that my service repair airbag light is on. the car has 37291 miles. i have seen that this is an issue with other camaros on the internet. also the consumer is paying for these repair. what is going on and why should "we" pay for this?
Air bag light is on and when taken for service at don mealey chevrolet in clermont, fl they charged $115 for diagnostic and asked $816 for replacement part as the airbag might not deploy in the event of an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving at 55 mph, the contact rear ended another vehicle. as a result, the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained a head concussion and cervical spine injuries that required medical attention. in addition, the driver and the passenger in the other vehicle both sustained injuries that required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent body shop. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 53,000.
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.
While driving at highway speed "service airbags" light came on for no apparent reason. this car has never been in an accident and did not come in contact with anything. light is still on and repair "estimate" is between $750.00 and $1500.00. car had approximately 32000 miles on the odometer when this occurred but because the car is 4 years old chevrolet will not warranty this safety problem.
My airbag service light keeps coming on. when someone sits in the passenger seat, my airbag light keeps going from on to off while someone is sitting in the seat. safety issue is that if i get into an accident, more than likely the airbag will not deploy as expected. faulty sensor or bad wiring i dont know but i see this issue in alot of camaro forums and online in general.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. when the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the failure recurred each time the vehicle was started. the contact also stated that when the passenger seat was occupied, the service air bag warning indicator illuminated. the failure recurred each time a passenger was seated in the passenger seat. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor in the passenger seat needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired; however, the dealer deactivated the air bag on the passenger side. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 21,000.
After driving home from work, i parked my car in my driveway. i went inside my house to grab something. after 3 minutes, i went back to my car to start it. 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. please investigate. clearly this is an issue for the 2010 camaro.

Passenger air bag sensor keeps going off on the camaro when driving. even with nothing on the seat, the "service air bag" message appears on the dash, but after driving for a short distance, it goes away. 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. if the issue exists with so many people reporting the same thing, why hasn't the manufacturer done a recall on this? are they expecting a fatality to occur before this gets addressed?
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 town 15-20 miles with no further incident. 3/3/15 - while driving unto city street, the "check airbag" alarm sounded and flashed a momentary notice to have airbag serviced. 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. why hasn't there been a recall? i am not sure if airbag will deploy accidentally or if it won't deploy during an accident. either way, if someone is sitting in the passenger's seat, they are sure the get injured. *tr
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
My service air bag light came on so i took it to the dealership to get it looked at. they told me it is just a sensor and you need to pay $900 for us to fix it. i don't have $900. about a month later i notice my dash on the passenger side starting to crack a bit and then a few weeks later a see my dash is now starting to bulge and it has a outline where my air bag is. i am terrified that it is going to deploy while i'm driving and my wife or a child is in the seat when it blows. i have read numerous blogs concerning the exact same issue with the air bags and i can't figure out why this is not already a recall issue. *tr
service air bag warning light comes on and goes off while driving . called service department they said make sure nothing is under seats that could obstruct the seat sensors. checked nothing there. light still on. service department said it would make air bags inoperable, wouldn't deploy air bags. in case of accident. is it normal to service air bags at a certain mileage point. i am finding online many of the camaro's seem to be having the same problems i am. i don't want to be driving when they decide to go off . *tr
The dash is cracked around passenger airbag doors and i'm concerned with the operation of airbag if in a accident and the muffler is coming apart with only 27000 miles. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that the passenger side air bag failed to illuminate when the seat was occupied. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat occupant mat sensor failed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 28,000. updated 8/10/15*cn the consumer stated the manufacturer offered to assist with less than half of the cost for repairs. the consumer declined the offer stating the manufacturer should pay in full. the manufacturer refused to pay in full due to the vehicle being out of warranty. updated 10/1/2015*js
Preparing to make a left turn at a y shaped junction, the power to the 2010 camaro shut off. driver was unable to steer the car or stop, and the car slammed into a block wall at 30 mph. air bags did not deploy. passenger was unconscious and taken via ambulance to hospital for concussion symptoms. driver suffered injuries to neck and upper back, also requiring medical attention. both were wearing seat belts, both still being treated for injuries sustained. *tr
For the passed few month i've notice my passenger airbag sensor hasn't been working right, but never thought anything major about it. i don't have a lot of people in my passenger seat so it wasn't a problem at first. now it's become annoying and make me feel bad about my car. i just took to the dealership and they told me what i already knew that the module has a defect. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that when an occupant was seated in the front passenger seat, the service air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the seat sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 54,000.
Airbag warning first started appearing on the car. now is off and on continuously reporting. why is a relatively common fault on such an important safety component not a recall? *tr
I have three issues for my camaro 2010. first and most important is the the timing chain, the chain moved and activated the cam sensors. the cost to change it is princely. second , the air bag light on the passenger is on. took it to the dealer and paid and still they couldn't find the issue so they wanted more money. third, three of the tire sensors when on and dealer wants more money. the car runs with poor performance so i stop using 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
Air bag light stays on and i'm thinking that the air bags do not deploy when needed. on star sent me an e:mail stating that it needs to be fixed. is it a recall as i do not have money for fixing it as i am putting my granddaughter through college and she uses the car everyday. help! *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
