AIR BAGS
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

AIR BAGS
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.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS TOLD LAST YEAR THAT I HAD A BAD TRANSMISSION DUE TO WATER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT I DROVE IT THROUGH WATER WHICH WAS NOT TRUE SO, I HAD TO PAY A $250.00DED OUT OF POCKET, AND $3856.97 WAS PAID BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL DRIVE AND THEN IT WILL STOP ON YOU AND NOT CHANGE INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ABOUT 8 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WHO CAN I CONTACT TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE THE MANUFACTURER CANT TELL WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR OWN PRODUCT.

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.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO WITH A 3.6 ENGINE. THE TIMING CHAINS ON THIS MOTOR ARE KNOWN TO STRETCH WHICH MESSES UP THE EMISSIONS AMONG OTHER THINGS. THE SAME ENGINE IS IN A SATURN, GMC ACADIA, AND SOME CADILLACS. THESE THREE VEHICLES ARE COVERED BY THE RECALL BUT THE CAMARO IS NOT EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ENGINE. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. THE CAR HAS 80,000 MILES. ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
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.

LEFT WORK TO GRAB DINNER WITH A COWORKER WHO RODE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. AFTER GOING INTO PICK UP OUR DINNER MY COWORKER NOTICED FLUID ON MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FLOOR MAT. I DROVE BACK TO WORK AND CHECKED THE FLUID ON THE MAT AND IT WAS COOLANT (DEXCOOL). DROVE HOME AND CHECKED THE MAT AGAIN AND THERE WAS MORE FLUID. I USED A MIRROR AND FLASHLIGHT TO LOOK UNDER THE DASH INBOARD OF THE GLOVE BOX AND WITH THE HEAT ON AND FAN RUNNING FOUND FLUID LEAKING FROM THE PLASTIC PAN UNDER THE HEATER CORE.
