2010 Chevrolet Camaro

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

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

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.

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

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

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
