Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet impala. the contact stated that the air bag waring light illuminated with an abnormal sound. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (ron craft chevrolet 4114, i-10, baytown, tx 77521 (281) 839-2586) but was unable to be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure recurred. the contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 15v465000(airbags) as a possible solution to the failure. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 141,536. the vin was not available.
My check engine light came on while driving. i told my car to the mechanic and i was told my mass engine airflow needed to be replaced. two days later the check engine light was on again. return to the mechanic and was told my o2 sensors needed to be replaced. replaced as recommended. i was driving down the highway and the light came on again along with a message that said reduce speed. at this point, my car slowed down by itself while i was going 60 miles per hour. i could not accelerate. luckily there were no cars behind me. reviewing the chevrolet forums and impala forums, this appears to be a known issue and gm is not doing anything about it. reading some of the stories, i consider myself lucky. airbag the passenger airbag light has come on and will not go off. i took it to the dealership, and they told me that if i am in an accident, the airbag will not deploy because the car isn't recognizing someone is in the seat. they said to me that gm issued a recall for this problem; however, my car was not included. i spoke with a gm representative who confirmed the recall. the gm representative said although the code is shown on the diagnostic performed at the certified dealer my vin was not covered; however, they offered to cover half of my cost. he told me that if gm expanded the recall to include my vin then i could send in my receipt for a refund.
Air bag warning light in instrument cluster goes on and off intermittently, while passenger air bag on/off indicator above windshield also goes on and off. this happens when the passenger seat is both occupied and unoccupied and can be made to go on and off by moving passenger seat forwards and backwards. this problem is ongoing. started approx. oct 15, 2019. today is nov 21, 2019
Air bag sensor started to come on randomly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet impala. while operating the vehicle, the service air bag warning indicator displayed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. gunn chevrolet (1650 i-35 north selma, tx) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 44,000.
My service airbag light as well as check engine light go on and off with no apparent reason. i believe an electrical issue.
The steering wheel chevy emblem has a dent half circle on the airbag section and the trunk where the spare is stored is getting water making trunk mold and mildew.
Started with side detection light not going off. then service for side detection came on. within a week i had multiple errors and services such as rear camera, front camera, collison prep, park assist. replaced fuses even though nothing was wrong with them. same lights. as the days go on... i am experiencing troubles with car starting having to manually start/insert fob into center console. heating and electrical inside car not working, stopped in middle of driving and it was foggy and obviously i couldn't defrost my windows. restarted car numerous times and then heat popped back on. also in the middle of driving it states key fob not detected and it's literally in the cup holder. i have changed the battery recently at the dealer so it is not a faulty fob or battery. my trunk has been just popping open for no reason and several times while i was driving but also while stationary. for some reason my power steering is now acting like it is out of fluid and grinding however all fluid is full. it seems to be all electrical and very scary and unpredictable.
Side object detection system failed 1st (2/2018). see attachment from engineering at my former employer (gmpg). 2nd issue: dash illumination goes back & forth from normal to extremely bright, dimming inop. 3rd issue safety...when vehicle is started, error messages for airbag, side object detection, front & rear camera-hvac completely inop. radio inop-begins working after electric faceplate lifted on radio. hvac & airbag remain inop. asked dealership about side object issue- they have no info on this. additional problems started 2/13/2019. when starting with rke, side object lights in mirror illuminated sitting in a parking lot. they have not illuminated while driving in over a year. no heat or defrost working-big safety issue in winter weather.
The automatic occupant sensing system (aos) is failing to recognize the front passenger. the service airbag alert goes off and on every 3 to 4 minutes. there was a recall on the 2015 chevy impala for this same issue but somehow my vehicle was not associated with this recall. i believe that this may be in error. i fear for my daughters safety ,and have had continuous issues with vehicle including major electrical, key fob, battery charging, complete ac failure which will be a 2400.00 charge in which i cant afford on top of the air bag issue and have gotten no resolution. i am a single mom and this is my first vehicle that i have financed, this is a total nightmare. please investigate and hopefully follow up with this issue. thanks
Air bag light comes on and goes off?
Takata recall the air bag light is on and there is also a burning smell coming from the car and this happens immediately when i start the car up.
With no particular trigger, my sensors started to fail one by one. then, my radio touch display went out. now, my car will randomly shutdown while driving, go into theft mode, or have the entire dash system malfunction, leaving me with little to no functionality other than steering. a detailed thread of the issue and others having these issues can be found in the following forums. http://www.impalaforums.com/chevy-impala-9th-gen-discussion/1585778-bad-bcm.html http://www.impalaforums.com/audio-video-and-electronics/1798162-mylink-touch-display-shut-off-after-hitting-pot-hole.html
I have had my 2015 impala at dealership twice for my airbag sensor on passenger seat and have paid money out of my pocket for this repair. this year and model car had a recall on airbags but the dealership said even though it is not a wear and tear item but a safety one i still had to pay out of my pocket. with this year having issues with airbag and this being the seat sensor i believe this safety issue should be covered, my tcn number is ain16-53807
Takata recall. i was driving down a county road, i sneezed and hit my face on the steering wheel and hit a tree at 40 mph. my air bags did not deploy at 40mph in a frontal crash. it totaled the car. bent the frame and frame around the motor. my passenger was hurt worse than me. why didn't my air bags deploy?

Letter from congressman perry on behalf of constituent re 2015 chevy impala airbag defect. *smd the consumer stated the front passenger seat air bag sensor would not turn on unless a person of adequate weight was sitting in the seat without any cushion. the consumer's wife had to sit on a cushion, in order to see out of the vehicle and to properly position her body in the front passenger seat. the consumer would like to have the passenger seat sensor deactivated. *jb
