| Vehicle taken to dealership to have campaign work done ( 09184a oct. 09 sdm corrosion in states having snowfall and salt applied to roads) after receiving notice in mail. no problem with vechicle at this time. 2 weeks after work, vehicle (multiple times) started exhibiting intermittent service air bag light...on for a few minutes then off. around oct. 2nd, 2012, service air bag light came on and now stays on upon start until vehicle is turned off. gm and dealer contacted and recommended i have system diagnostic done...at my cost ($90) to determine problem. i opened a case file with gm (# 71-1118146997) and will take my vehicle to an independent mechanic to download codes and determine which item is faulty. i would have the dealership that did the work perform this, however i have had issues with them in the past regarding needed repairs. i suggested that if they run the diagnostics in my presence and the codes come up with something other than the sdm i would gladly pay for the diagnostic and repair, however, if the code came up with the sdm being the problem, they would pay for the diagnostic, replacement, and rental if needed.....they would not accept this. the sdm in my vehicle is part number 25823557...gm has now substituted it with part number 22759740. i own this vehicle (no loan/liens) and other than this issue have been very happy with it....this vehicle is only driven approx. 15k per year, mostly to and from work and i follow all recommended service intervals. thank you for your time. | |||

| The dashboard has cracked running from the corner of the passenger side airbag towards the windshield. this happened when the vehicle was parked and not in use. i am very concerned that a vehicle of this age has a defect such as this in the location that it does. i fear that in the event of an accident and deployment of the airbag, the already cracked plastic of the dashboard could become a dangerous projectile. | |||

| The air bag system on chevrolets tend to need service work early and if the system is that sensitive, the bags could deploy. this could cause accidents or personal injury. it seems chevrolet has constructed this system to fail for hopes of collecting repair money. | |||

| Feb. 21, 2008, my wife and myself were involved in a accident during an ice storm. our truck fish tailed and plowed through a hsy guard rail at an angle of approx 60 degrees. the air bags did not work. it then bounced off a second guard rail in the outside of the opposite lane and spun the truck around and headed for the middle guard rail and parked. the air bags did not work a second time. so, the injury to our necks and upper torso was more severe because of the air bags not working. the seat belts strain injured us. we had leased a 2007 silverdo lt extended cab with warranty and guarantees. i went online and checked the safety rating. shocked, this is why i am making this complaint. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving 45 mph, the contact noticed that the air bag light was dim. he stated that his wife was seated in the passenger seat at the time and weighs 120 pounds. he also stated that the air bag light is off 75% of the time and should be illuminated at all times when the passenger seat is occupied. the dealer and manufacturer stated that his wife's weight is too light to activate the system, which is a normal function. the dealer test drove the vehicle and concluded that nothing was wrong. the manufacturer stated that they would send him a video to support the dealer's conclusion. the current mileage was 650 and failure mileage was 350. updated 12/12/2007 *bf updated 12/12/07. *jb | |||

| I was traveling northbound a regular city street when the inside of my tires hit a pot hole and set off my side impact airbags on my 2007 chevy silverado 1500 z71 4x4. there was no side impact on the truck at all and no front -end collision to set off the front air bags(they did not deploy). i am extremely worried about the safety of others. please look into this. | |||

| Hello- recently i had an issue with my 2007 chevrolet silverado while driving along a major interstate. my airbags deployed for no reason. no collision occurred, they just went off while driving about 60 mph in traffic. stasek chevrolet did a fine job of repairing the interior and i received my vehicle back 3 weeks later. when i asked the service mgr. why it happened, he stated he did not know. i asked if it will happen again and i got the same answer..i don't know. my dilemma at this point is that my personal safety(as well as my families) may be at risk while driving this vehicle in the future. i spoke with customer service at gm corporate and they didn't care about the matter and refused to cooperate with me. told me to contact a lawyer. i cant afford an attorney at this time, otherwise i would pursue that route. i believe a proper resolution would have been to replace the vehicle with a new one or purchase it back so i could afford to purchase another truck. gm didn't want anything to do with me. i'm not the kind of person to try and gouge money out of the situation with some massive lawsuit. i'm not seeking any monetary compensation from gm. my personal safety is more important, and i believe i deserve to feel safe in a fairly new vehicle that only has 19k miles on it. any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time. regards, eric bauler *tr | |||
