2010 Chevrolet Camaro

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A TEAR IN THE TOP OF THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING UNDER THE DASH IS PUSHING UP TO CREATE THE SLIT IN THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS THE AIRBAG AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS GETTING READY TO GO OFF ON ITS OWN OR EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AS IT IS GROWING. THE SLIT OR TEAR IS APROX. 4 INCHES LONG AND THE BUMP UP IS TO THE RIGHT OF IT. *TR

AIR BAG SENSOR BEGAN GOING OFF ON MY 2010 CAMARO ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHICH AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME IF THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF VEHICLE IS HIT. THEY DID LOOK FOR AIR BAG RECALLS AND FOUND NONE; HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THEY AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO. A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY SAFETY ISSUES. ALL SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. *TR

2/25/15 - (CAMARO 2010 SS2, AUTO) UPON STARTUP THE "CHECK AIRBAG " ALARM SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED FOR ABOUT 5-8 SECONDS, AND THEN NORMALIZED. I DROVE ABOUT TOWN 15-20 MILES WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. 3/3/15 - WHILE DRIVING UNTO CITY STREET, THE "CHECK AIRBAG" ALARM SOUNDED AND FLASHED A MOMENTARY NOTICE TO HAVE AIRBAG SERVICED. I DROVE ABOUT 350 MILES, STOPPING AND STARTING AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENCE. 3/14/15 - WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET (ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOME), THE SAME OCCURRENCE AS ABOVE WAS NOTED. I KEEP MY CAMARO SPOTLESS AND MOSTLY IN THE GARAGE. I'VE DISMISSED THESE INCIDENTS, BUT AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR RESPONSES, I FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE OFFICIAL NOTE THEREOF. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON. IT GOES ON/OFF AT WILL. IT APPEARS AFTER READING OTHER POST, THAT THIS IS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT IT. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I AM NOT SURE IF AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY OR IF IT WON'T DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. EITHER WAY, IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT, THEY ARE SURE THE GET INJURED. *TR

WE TOLD DEALER ABOUT TROUBLE AIR BAG BEFORE WARRANTY AND THEY CHECKED FREE UNDER WARRANTY CLAIMED DUE TO OVERSIZE TIRES AFTER WE USED TIRES UP TO MILAGE AND GOT NEW BACK TO FACTORY SIZE TIRES AND ADVISED THIS DID NOT CLEAR UP THE NOTICE ON PANEL - CHECK AIRBAG AS THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON AT THAT TIME THEY WANT 1,000 TO FIX ALTHOUGH WE TRIED AND EVEN WENT BACK BEFORE THE 36,000 WENT OUT TO EXPLAIN AFTER WARRANTY ETC AND THEY SAID NO WORRIES AFTER TIRES ARE USED AND REPLACE AND REALIGNED IF IT DOESNT CLEAR THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT RIVERGATE TOM BANNEN IS NOW SERRA WE PURCHASED A 2012 CAMARO AND NOTICED THE RECALL IN 2012 ALTHOUGH WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITH THE CHECK AIRBAG CODE THE DEALER ASSURED WE WERE IN NO DANGER AND THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY ALTHOUGH WE ARE FEARFUL IT WILL NOT ESPECIALLY NOW WE KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2012 WE KNOW IT SHOULD APPLY TO THE 2010 ALSO FYI - WE ALSO WILL COMPLAIN ON ANOTHER AFFECTED PART WE HAVE PAID $800 FOR RECENT THAT ALSO SHOULD APPLY THAT ONLY APPLIES TO 2012. *TR

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME IT IS JUST A SENSOR AND YOU NEED TO PAY $900 FOR US TO FIX IT. I DON'T HAVE $900. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICE MY DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING TO CRACK A BIT AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER A SEE MY DASH IS NOW STARTING TO BULGE AND IT HAS A OUTLINE WHERE MY AIR BAG IS. I AM TERRIFIED THAT IT IS GOING TO DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING AND MY WIFE OR A CHILD IS IN THE SEAT WHEN IT BLOWS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS BLOGS CONCERNING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS NOT ALREADY A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A Y SHAPED JUNCTION, THE POWER TO THE 2010 CAMARO SHUT OFF. DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR OR STOP, AND THE CAR SLAMMED INTO A BLOCK WALL AT 30 MPH. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PASSENGER WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND TAKEN VIA AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL FOR CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS. DRIVER SUFFERED INJURIES TO NECK AND UPPER BACK, ALSO REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION. BOTH WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS, BOTH STILL BEING TREATED FOR INJURIES SUSTAINED. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING . CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SAID MAKE SURE NOTHING IS UNDER SEATS THAT COULD OBSTRUCT THE SEAT SENSORS. CHECKED NOTHING THERE. LIGHT STILL ON. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WOULD MAKE AIR BAGS INOPERABLE, WOULDN'T DEPLOY AIR BAGS. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. IS IT NORMAL TO SERVICE AIR BAGS AT A CERTAIN MILEAGE POINT. I AM FINDING ONLINE MANY OF THE CAMARO'S SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM. I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING WHEN THEY DECIDE TO GO OFF . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN AN OCCUPANT WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

FOR THE PASSED FEW MONTH I'VE NOTICE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR HASN'T BEEN WORKING RIGHT, BUT NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING MAJOR ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT SO IT WASN'T A PROBLEM AT FIRST. NOW IT'S BECOME ANNOYING AND MAKE ME FEEL BAD ABOUT MY CAR. I JUST TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW THAT THE MODULE HAS A DEFECT. *TR
