Takata recall, air bag did not deploy or inflate in front collision.
Driving southbound going 65 mph on highway. 5x4 buck struck head-on with equinox and no air bags deployed. my 18 year old daughter was restrained by her seatbelt, however, with the speeds and impact there was failure of the airbag system to deploy.
No airbag deployment although head on collision into 2 parked cars
The check air bag light comes on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet equinox. when the vehicle was started, the passenger side air bag warning indicator illuminated, which was a safety concern. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (weseloh chevrolet, 5335 paseo del norte, carlsbad, ca 92008) where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor failed and needed replacement. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 65,000. the vin was not available.
Passenger air bag alarm goes off when seat is empty and occasionally the passenger air bag turns off while an adult passenger is in the seat due to a faulty connector. this happens sporadically during all types of driving, idling or while parked. the concern that during an impact the faulty connector will cause the passenger side airbag to not deploy while a passenger is in the seat is highly worry some and even though chevy is aware of the condition, they won't recall or fix the issue. timing chain failure can cause sudden unexpected engine shutoff while driving causing a loss of control of the vehicle and sudden stalling during acceleration and deceleration leading to possible collisions as the engine shuts off with no warning. chevy is aware of the timing chain issues in their 2.4l engines and yet hasn't issued a recall even though catrophic engine damage and probably loss of life due to loss of control collisions. engine shutoff due to chain stretch or failure can occur as any time during driving or engine running conditions.
I was in a car accident where the other driver ran a stop sign and i ran into the side of his car head on, i was going between 35-40miles per hour. i was driving in a neighborhood, my airbags never deployed, the car center console stated that the airbag malfunction. i bought this car brand new in littleton colorado.
Front passenger seat airbag sensor will not activate safety system when i, as a 120 lb adult,place a medically necessary cushion (to alleviate back and hip pain) between myself and the seat, thus cancelling out the benefits of this safety system when the vehicle is in motion. i am at risk when riding in this general motors vehicle. please require gm to recall and correct this defect soonest and associate my complaint with all other similar complaints on file with your agency.
