Air Bags
The 'service airbag' notification keeps repeatedly showing on my dashboard. This has been happening for the past month. This message appears whether anything is located in the passenger seat or not. My local chevy dealership stated that this issue 'will cost a couple hundred' to repair.

Around 60,000 miles, the 'service airbag' warning began displaying from when the car is started until it is shut off. I am interested in selling the vehicle, but when i took the car in to a local dealership, they said they were going to take "$2,000" off of what would be offered for the car because of this airbag problem. When researching this problem, it sounds to be a relatively common problem that others are…

Service airbag light is on and dealer wants $99 for diagnostics and up to $700 to fix. Found out there are many complaints on this and a lawsuit so it should maybe be a recall!

Around 100,000 miles my airbag light came on. The vehicle was not in an accident, the light just came on, while driving one day. Took it to the dealership and they said the airbag needs to be replaced at an expensive price. Currently riding around in a vehicle with faulty airbags for no apparent reason.

I bought this car new and has about 85000 miles on it and took it in because of airbag light being on. I was told passenger present sensor needs to be replaced which causes airbag light to remain on when car is moving. This is ridiculous i looked about this claim and there are hundreds of camaros with this exact same issue. This is a $700 replacement and does not sit well with me as i've always bought chevys and not…

I originally had trouble with the airbag sensor in 2013. I took it to my local dealer who stated they where unable to duplicate the issue. They reset the sensor and it was fine. Now with the vehicle out of warranty anytime some one sits in the passenger seat the service airbag light turns on and off the whole time i am driving. Most recently it has started turning on and off even when no one is in the seat. Returned…

At 43000 miles service airbag and chime appeared in drivers information center. Light stays on and chimes every few seconds. Vehicle was running but not moving in parking lot when this happened. After looking online this is a fairly common problem with these cars. Concerned about airbags deploying on their own, or not deploying in a crash.
