For some reason throughout the last year my air bag light will stay on for quite awhile then go off and come back on at another time! I noticed there was a recall on air bags and even though it doesn't show a recall for my car I feel there is an issue with my air bags!

Service air bag light intermittently illuminates and resolves itself. Complete failure of instrument cluster and HVAC suddenly with engine running. This appears to be consistent with GM recall #36110. Contacted GM for further action and was told this vehicle not included with recall despite same issue as described for recall. The airbag light happens with adult front passenger, not while seat is empty, and while vehicle is in motion.

I was driving home from work and I was doing 55 mph, and the car started to hesitate, and the dashboard info read stabilitrac, engine safty mod, and reduced power. Then the car started to slow down, and when I tried to give it some gas the engine started to knock, and the temperature gauge went all the way up to the top. I pulled over and shut the car off, and opened the hood, and it wasn't even over heating. After letting it sit for a few minutes I started it up and went about five hundred feet and it did it again.

My service airbag sensor light had been on since I purchased my car a year ago, I am going to sell it but I didn't want to sell it with something that has to do with safety being questionable. I drove it to auto nation yesterday June 11th to see if it was a recall. They said there hasn't been one. I drove it home and started searching online for possible problems with it and there were so many posts about this issue. I searched under the passenger seat because that's what I read to do and low and behold all types of wires under it are completely severed and torn up. I was going to fix this myself but I really don't want to be held liable in case of accident or injury. This must be fixed and it's my belief that it's caused by the vehicle design. Please hold Chevrolet responsible for this repair as it is very dangerous for both the passenger and possibly everyone else in the vehicle. Thank you very much for looking into this. I also believe that when a person calls a dealer telling then exactly what they found D (I called lenlyle on colfax and Sable in Aurora, co. And explained to then my findings and they told me that I would have to pay for this repair. They should direct a person to you guys when something that has to do with safety is found to be defective. This should be a requirement that they contact you dot as well as offer a repair imediately and consider themselves lucky that someone wasn't killed because a person came to them with the problem instead of trying to do the repair themselves.

I was sitting in the parking lot with my engine running for about 10 mind. All a sudden 'reduced engine power' came across my dash and my service engine light came on. I turned my car off. About an hour later I turned it back on and the message was gone. Then as I was driving down the road my service air bag light came on. It only comes on when the passenger seat beat is clicked on. And my driver side back door auto lock stopped working.

The service airbag light came on but you claim my VIN number is not under recall! this should be looked into! it came on when I started it and stayed on until I was on my way home from work then it disappeared. I also have a break that is grinding even after it has had new rotors, brake pads and the caliper changed. It grinds continuously. I am not happy at all! please check into these matters! I believe my car should be on your recall list for these issues!

Air bag sensor has been tripped for the past 7 months, I have researched this recall, and it looks like the wiring harness might be the only thing that needs to be replaced. However, whenever, I put in my VIN number, there aren't any recalls for this. Also, I have received a letter about the gas sensor possibly being bad, however, when I took it into a Chevy dealer to have it fixed, they refused to. They told me that the check engine light wasn't on, and that I had to wait until it failed before they would fix it! failure of this sensor means, it could fail in an intersection, or while I am passing someone, or whatever, this is a safety concern!!! I am very unhappy that they wouldn't fix it. Now, my check engine light is on, however, it is because another sensor is bad! the evc sensor now has to be fixed. The airbag sensor was tripped while I was driving on the hwy at 70 mph on a warm day of 80 F or so. The evc sensor tripped overnight when I started the car in the morning. The gas pedal sensor has been a problem for 3 years because Chevy dealers refuse to fix it. These concerns are in addition to the other mechanical fixes that I have had to do on a car that has less than 87,000 miles on it! I am feeling like I have a lemon of a car and that this Impala is the worst car on the market. I have had several Chevy products, and have never experienced problems like this. What happened to the great products that Chevy once produced"?"
