MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING FROM ON TO OFF WHILE SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, MORE THAN LIKELY THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS EXPECTED. FAULTY SENSOR OR BAD WIRING I DONT KNOW BUT I SEE THIS ISSUE IN ALOT OF CAMARO FORUMS AND ONLINE IN GENERAL.

AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT INSIDE MY HOUSE TO GRAB SOMETHING. AFTER 3 MINUTES, I WENT BACK TO MY CAR TO START IT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE APPEARED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND I SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 CAMARO AND HOW THE AIRBAG SENSORS ARE FAULTY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN BRIDGEWATER NJ. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE SDM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON THE CAR. THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE 950 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. THEY STATED THAT MY AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WERE UNSURE IF THE AIRBAGS COULD DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE BY GM, BUT YET NO RECALL. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS? HOW IS GM ALLOWED TO MAKE MONEY OFF THIS, FROM 800-1000 PER CAR. THIS IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH NO AIRBAGS UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THE FIX. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. CLEARLY THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR THE 2010 CAMARO.

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR KEEPS GOING OFF ON THE CAMARO WHEN DRIVING. EVEN WITH NOTHING ON THE SEAT, THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH, BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, IT GOES AWAY. THEN IT COMES BACK INTERMITTENTLY, AGAIN WITH NOTHING ON THE SEAT. THE ISSUE STARTED APPEARING ON ITS OWN. I'VE SEARCHED IN ONLINE FORUMS AND SEE THAT A LOT OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, AND WHEN THEY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER EXPECTS FOLKS TO PAY A HIGH PRICE TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. I'VE VERIFIED THAT THERE ARE NO CABLES UNPLUGGED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND EVEN VERIFIED THAT ALL CABLES ARE PLUGGED IN SNUGGED TO THE MODULE. IF THE ISSUE EXISTS WITH SO MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME THING, WHY HASN'T THE MANUFACTURER DONE A RECALL ON THIS? ARE THEY EXPECTING A FATALITY TO OCCUR BEFORE THIS GETS ADDRESSED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED.
