Air Bags

Read full complaint

I HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE OFTEN RIDES WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 130 POUNDS AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILS TO TURN ON ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, WE HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THEN SHE HAS TO EXIT AND RE-ENTER THE SEAT. THIS USUALLY TURNS THE AIRBAG ON. THIS IS AT BEST, INCONVENIENT, BUT AT WORST IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS HAZARDOUS! THE LOCAL DEALER CONTACTED GM/TAC IN DETROIT AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS AS FOLLOWS: "YOUR VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE PER TAC THAT ANYONE 120 POUNDS AND UNDER WILL NOT TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS IS THE FINAL GM RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME" THE 120-130 POUND AIRBAG THRESHOLD SEEMS UNUSUALLY HIGH TO ME. IS THIS A NORMAL DESIGN FEATURE FOR ALL OF THESE CARS? WHY IS THIS WAY? IF I HAD KNOWN THAT WHEN CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT STARTED IN SEP. 2015 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY (JAN. 10, 2016)

Official recalls

15V666000 · Air Bags:side/window

Oct 16, 2015

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain vehicles. The affected vehicles have front seat-mounted side impact air bags whose inflator may rupture upon its deployment.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of one or both of the side impact air bags, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side impact air bag modules, free of charge. The recall began on October 19, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 01320.
