It appears that my vehicle had a special coverage bulletin titled -€œN172097060 - Special Coverage Side Blind Zone Alert Module Water Intrusion-€ This special coverage only covered vehicles for 6 years or 80,000 miles. This week I started experiencing problems with my vehicles side blind zone alert system. From everything that I have read it appears to be the same issue that led to the special coverage mentioned above being issued. However, my vehicle is now outside of the specified coverage limitations. I believe that it should still be covered as it still remains a safety issue. Regardless of how many years or miles have passed. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the driver-€™s and passenger-€™s side air bags deployed inadvertently without a warning light. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was still awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
My airbag service light turns on and off. I received a letter from the maker saying there was a recall for the aos. I took my car into a Chevrolet dealership and they claimed they fixed it. A couple days later the light started to appear again. I took my car back to the same place and now their are saying my sensing diagnostic module needs to be repaired. I truly believe this was something not done correctly by the manufacturer and I shouldn't be liable for it. If I have an accident and the airbags don't deploy, or they deploy at anytime causing me to have an accident, I will pursue legal action.

Air bag warning light in instrument cluster goes on and off intermittently, while passenger air bag on/off indicator above windshield also goes on and off. This happens when the passenger seat is both occupied and unoccupied and can be made to go on and off by moving passenger seat forwards and backwards. This problem is ongoing. Started approx. Oct 15, 2019. Today is Nov 21, 2019
My check engine light came on while driving. I told my car to the mechanic and I was told my mass engine airflow needed to be replaced. Two days later the check engine light was on again. Return to the mechanic and was told my O2 sensors needed to be replaced. Replaced as recommended. I was driving down the highway and the light came on again along with a message that said reduce speed. At this point, my car slowed down by itself while I was going 60 miles per hour. I could not accelerate. Luckily there were no cars behind me. Reviewing the Chevrolet forums and Impala forums, this appears to be a known issue and GM is not doing anything about it. Reading some of the stories, I consider myself lucky. Airbag the passenger airbag light has come on and will not go off. I took it to the dealership, and they told me that if I am in an accident, the airbag will not deploy because the car isn't recognizing someone is in the seat. They said to me that GM issued a recall for this problem; however, my car was not included. I spoke with a GM representative who confirmed the recall. The GM representative said although the code is shown on the diagnostic performed at the certified dealer my VIN was not covered; however, they offered to cover half of my cost. He told me that if GM expanded the recall to include my VIN then I could send in my receipt for a refund.
The automatic occupant sensing system (aos) is failing to recognize the front passenger. The service airbag alert goes off and on every 3 to 4 minutes. There was a recall on the 2015 Chevy Impala for this same issue but somehow my vehicle was not associated with this recall. I believe that this may be in error. I fear for my daughters safety, and have had continuous issues with vehicle including major electrical, key fob, battery charging, complete ac failure which will be a $2400 charge in which I cant afford on top of the air bag issue and have gotten no resolution. I am a single mom and this is my first vehicle that I have financed, this is a total nightmare. Please investigate and hopefully follow up with this issue. Thanks
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Impala. While operating the vehicle, the service air bag warning indicator displayed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Gunn Chevrolet (1650 I-35 North selma, tx) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.
The steering wheel Chevy emblem has a dent half circle on the airbag section and the trunk where the spare is stored is getting water making trunk mold and mildew.
Started with side detection light not going off. Then service for side detection came on. Within a week I had multiple errors and services such as rear camera, front camera, collison prep, park assist. Replaced fuses even though nothing was wrong with them. Same lights. As the days go on... I am experiencing troubles with car starting having to manually start/insert fob into center console. Heating and electrical inside car not working, stopped in middle of driving and it was foggy and obviously I couldn't defrost my windows. Restarted car numerous times and then heat popped back on. Also in the middle of driving it states key fob not detected and it's literally in the cup holder. I have changed the battery recently at the dealer so it is not a faulty fob or battery. My trunk has been just popping open for no reason and several times while I was driving but also while stationary. For some reason my power steering is now acting like it is out of fluid and grinding however all fluid is full. It seems to be all electrical and very scary and unpredictable.
Side object detection system failed 1st (2/2018). See attachment from engineering at my former employer (gmpg). 2nd issue: Dash illumination goes back & forth from normal to extremely bright, dimming inop. 3rd issue safety...when vehicle is started, error messages for airbag, side object detection, front & rear camera-HVAC completely inop. Radio inop-begins working after electric faceplate lifted on radio. HVAC & airbag remain inop. Asked dealership about side object issue- they have no info on this. Additional problems started 2/13/2019. When starting with rke, side object lights in mirror illuminated sitting in a parking lot. They have not illuminated while driving in over a year. No heat or defrost working-big safety issue in winter weather.
I have had my 2015 Impala at dealership twice for my airbag sensor on passenger seat and have paid money out of my pocket for this repair. This year and model car had a recall on airbags but the dealership said even though it is not a wear and tear item but a safety one I still had to pay out of my pocket. With this year having issues with airbag and this being the seat sensor I believe this safety issue should be covered, my tcn number is ain16-53807
Takata recall. I was driving down a county road, I sneezed and hit my face on the steering wheel and hit a tree at 40 mph. My air bags did not deploy at 40mph in a frontal crash. It totaled the car. Bent the frame and frame around the motor. My passenger was hurt worse than me. Why didn't my air bags deploy?
