Problems with 2011 Chevrolet Camaro AIR BAGS

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.

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.

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.

Service passenger air bag, would not go off. and check engine light keep coming on.

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.

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.

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.

Service airbags alert is coming on. the connectors holding the sensors to the seat bottoms are loose and when adjusted, the alert goes off. car now has 40,954 miles. alert comes on when car is started.

Driving on the highway going about 45 mph service airbag light pops and stays on and the passenger light stays on even with a passenger in the car, 99,000 miles

Passenger air bag kept coming on and stayed on

Two days ago while driving the service airbag came on. i went online to research any reasons why and found that many others have the same problem around same mileage, right after warranty expired. i also noticed a lawsuit concerning the 2011 camaro airbags.01/07/2017. *tr

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

The passenger's air bag light is on that states the bag is off. took to dealer and was told the seat sensor needs replaced. car has 60000 miles. came on around 52000. was told that the airbag will not deployed if involved in an accident unless the sensor was replaced. cost to replace $700.00. searched and seems to be a problem on this make. researched nhtsa web site and there are close to 200 complaints for the same thing. do not know why no recall has been issued do to a safety hazard. light is on where moving or parked.

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.

Driving along 45 miles an hour with passenger ,when air bag chime started dinging.air bag light & chime would come on & off , with or without a passenger .requested an appointment with antelope valley chevrolet ,explaining issue of air bag chime & light & also requested to have 50,000 service since my mileage was 48,296 & requested that brakes be inspected .since i live over 45 miles away i try to combine my services.was told at that time it would be an estimated 2 to 3 hour appointment.arrived at dealership 9a.m.on june 17th 2016.explained to service technician my issues with vehicle , was told it would take around 6 hours.was called by tech.at 10 a.m. told my brakes were at the danger zone ,i verbally agreed to the service.at 3:12 i phoned to see if it was ready to be picked up ,was told that it was just then being seen by the mechanic about the air bag problem ,told it would be ready around 4:00. was called back & told it would need 2 parts to repair the air bag system only 1 of the parts was in stock,, the other would have to be ordered & it had to be done right then.was told not covered by warranty ,cost would be &1385.00. car would have to be kept overnight, requiring another 90 + mile trip.

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.

At 43000 miles service airbag and chime appeared in drivers information center. light stays on and chimes every few seconds. vehicle was running but not moving in parking lot when this happened. after looking online this is a fairly common problem with these cars. concerned about airbags deploying on their own, or not deploying in a crash.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. while driving approximately 45 mph, the air bag light illuminated and flashed. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor and air bag module were faulty and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty was expired. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 54,000.

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.

While driving on the highway or on city streets, the air bag light comes on an dings about every 20 seconds. i am able to stop the ding by pushing the button to disregard the message. it did this for about 2 weeks. it no longer dings but the air bag indicator light continuously stays lit and the "service airbag" light comes on when the car is started. 2011 camaro v6, 100,000 miles

Air bag sensor is always coming on and dings every few minutes....whether or not there is someone in the passenger seat or not, whether its in drive or in park, when it goes off, i turn the switch to disregard the notification and it comes on every few minutes....also, the evaporator core kit needs replaced, which is about $2000 and 20 hours of labor due to having to remove windsheild. heater and defrost work fine but ac will not cool, smells funny inside the car and makes noise when you try to turn on a/c. thankfully its fall.. no recalls but found lots of complaints on the a/c and 2011 chevrolet camaros. the a/c started slowly getting less and less cool each day then the last day before it quit, the driver side wouldnt cool at all but the passenger side would. put in refrigerant and it cooled for a couple more days then just quit cooling. 75,000 miles, had it 5 years 1 month, no warranty. dont want to pay that much to cool my car, will not purchase another camaro! not happy.

The passenger curtain side and driver side airbags deployed after making a sharp left hand turn out of a turnout upon trying to reenter the roadway. the tires lost traction for a brief moment and the airbags were deployed over my head on both the right and left side of the vehicle. the seatbelt pretensioners also actuated and tightened very hard. the cab was filled with white smoke and my vision was lost momentarily. i was traveling to words the roadway but managed to stop previous to entering the road. there was oncoming traffic and i was also burned and my neck very severely injured due to the nature of the violent explosion right next to my head. my left eardrum is also permanently ruptured due to this event. my vehicle was located on a mountan road in southern california highway 2. had this happened in a corner on the actual roadway the consiquences may have been much more severe. again nothing at all was struck during the deployment and nothing has been hit since. i took the car to the dealer that morning they gave me a loaner but still after a week had nit even looked at the car and informed me i would have to pay for the rental. whe n i was able to get out of bed i returned to the dealer returned the car and took mine back. i contacted lawyer after l lawyer bone of which wanted to help. i was forced to go back to work as i am self employed and have no other means of supporting myself. the problem is still not fixed and my medical issues still persist.

Passenger air bag sensor turns on and off causing alarm and service airbag warning. this happens when and adult sits in the car or when there is anything in the passenger set. 4 year old car should not have this problem. *tr

Passenger side air bag sensor in seat is defective, continues to go on and off when someone is sitting in passenger side of car. or when i have my laptop in the passenger seat. chevrolet will not acknowledge there is a problem. it appears to be a bad design or defective parts. car has not been in any accidents that i know of and no kids usually ride in front seat

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.

Air bags light on all the time. *tr

When the car is started the passenger & drivers side air bag warning lights come on. a message appears that the air bags have been turned off. *tr

Passenger air bag light and alarm sounding. passenger seat air bag sensor went bad. when a passenger sits in the seat the senor light and alarm go off and indicate that the passenger air bag has been turned off. the senor and alarm continue to go off and on while driving, turning the air bag off and on throughout the time the passenger is in the seat. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. while reversing out of a driveway, the air bag indicator illuminated. the failure occurred several times. the dealer stated that the front passenger sensor mat needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 54,000.

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

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

Approaching a three-way intersection with a stop sign with intent to stop and turn right. vehicle suddenly accelerated without accelerator input from driver. driver was unable to brake/stop vehicle or effectively control steering/path of travel. vehicle, according to state patrol, gains an estimated speed of 65 mph through intersection and collides with embankment/mountain hillside. at this time, car became airborne to an estimated height of 28' and landed on front driver side of vehicle first. front airbags failed to deploy upon impact. driver sustained a serious tbi(traumatic brain injury) & concussion due to blunt force trauma to the head due to lack of airbag deployment. owner still continues to suffer from side effects of the tbi injury and wants to notify the public that life-threatening issues exist with this vehicle. to date, gm has issued two major recalls on this vehicle pertaining to what lead/caused the accident. *tr

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

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..

Service airbag light comes on and stays on when started

The airbag light came on intermittently, and now, stays on all the time. i don't know if the airbags will deploy in an accident. *tr

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
