Reference# [xxx]. as I approached the intersection, another vehicle was turning onto the street I was on. I moved over to make room, as I moved over I had to cross over a clump of snow and ice that had re froze making a rough and bumpy transition. I was about 20 feet from the stop sign. I placed my foot on the brake which was hard and unresponsive. The steering was hard and unresponsive as well. I was driving about 3-5 mph at the time. When I placed my foot on the brake it was unresponsive and it took me into the intersection where I was hit by another vehicle on the drivers side front. My airbag did not deploy. The total damage for my vehicle was $ $5,615.93. We were confused and did not understand why the brakes and the steering did not function and why with this violent of a crash that the airbag did not deploy. After reading the recall notice explaining the ignition recall it made sense that why the failure occurred.

Service airbag light came on very slightly then over a period remained on all the time. It was the passenger side airbag that needed replacement but this makes all airbags inoperable I was told. I then filed case #[xxx] with GM and audia motor millbrook NY but I was told my vehicle not on recall and I had to pay the entire $638.01 because of the mileage currently 163,663. This is not something a consumer should pay as it is a basic safety device. This is the original airbag that was never deployed nor damaged.

Air bag light came on in May 2, 2014, and an email was received by the owner (me) that they should have a oil change- they did that and at the same time they told the person in the autonations garage that the air bag light comes on and they came back with a check up and said it was the sensor for the air bag rubbing on the seat belt and ruined it. Causing possible injuries to person/persons in the moving vehicle if an accident ever occurred. This was then taken care of by autonations garage with "[xxx] asm" & the tech was "[xxx]" ! amount for replacement $445.07 vehicle had just run out of warranty! oil change along with tire alignment and other check ups that day came to $ $735.63.

At about 50000 miles the rear door actuator began to work intermittently. Within months it did not work at all. The dealer said it was expensive to fix. At about 66000 miles the service air bag warning light began to come on intermittently. At 68000 miles I took it to the dealer who diagnosed the problem as an actuator. I replaced it at a cost of $400. He said I could replace the rear door actuator for another $400 which I elected not to do. When I saw a news article about an elderly, disabled man trapped in his Chevrolet Impala because of a defective door lock actuator, I realized that this might be a frequent problem to be addressed.

Airbag light remains on -will go out and then reappear. Never know when it will go out. Remains on most of the time regardless of conditions. Senior and cannot afford a major repair bill, auto company's should be liable for repairs of federal mandated safety equipment. Our government has failed us again. Car has never been damaged or abused. Now has 67000 miles. If a accident occurs, will the airbags I paid for work? if not, contact my lawyer!

The vehicle is displaying "service air bag" with a picture on the dash board. I drove it to work today and it's still displaying the same thing. Can anyone tell me why and is this part of GM recall.I'm scared that if something happen while I'm driving or have my kids in the vehicle will this protect us or hurt us.

2009 Chevy Impala 2lt the air bag warning light has illuminated on numerous occasions since buying the car new in January 2010. Currently the light has been on for 2 weeks straight with yet another dealer visit scheduled. This warning light when illuminated renders the rest of the electronic display useless since the "service airbag" display never goes off. The dealer service department has failed to fix the problem satisfactorily for the past 4 years despite the multiple times we have had it in for the air bag warning light issue. The problem always returns and the light will stay on from several minutes to weeks. Some of the explanations for returning the car to us without correcting the problem have been downright ridiculous. We have great concern about the safety of driving a vehicle with an ongoing airbag warning light issue. The vehicle only has 31,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident.

The vehicle displays a "service air bag" label and also a icon associated with the written warning. My 2009 Chevrolet Impala lt is not included in the recall, according to the my VIN number. Can you explain why this vehicle is displaying service air bag. This vehicle has not been in any accidents. I have never had a car display such a warning. I am very afraid to drive this vehicle.

We own the car listed above and have for over two years. We bought it at a dealership in East Tennessee. The car was previously used as a rent a car for enterprise. Not even a year after we bought the vehicle we had to replace the transmission. The biggest problem is the fact I have drove this car and all issues stated for a recall we have had a problem with. The most recent is the vehicle shutting off while driving it on highways. It's is saying service engine light mad than will say service traction control, than it will shutoff I been going 70 down an interstate and it shutoff mad about kill us. We had the vehicle checked and the accelerator pedal sensor or something like that is the problem by what technician say. I am just now starting to research the issues we have and found numerous recalls on this vehicle in which we have the problems listed above and more. Mainly the airbag steering control arm and vehicle just shutting off. I guess the best way to sum it up is they sold us a lemon perhaps but after looking at the recall list our vehicle meets the requirements for sure. Too many problems for a new vehicle. Just looking to take care of the problem before the car injures us or someone else on the highways. Hope this doesn't take long to get resolved because deaths could occur. Thanks for your time hope to speak with someone soon before it's too late. I mean I thought something major was wrong but the automd website really assured what we been thinking. Thanks for your time.

I have owned the car since 9/2013. Shortly after purchasing the airbag sensor light started illuminating on and off. I took it back to the dealer and it was serviced. Shortly after that it came on again. Then back in February the car started making a very annoying and embarrassing clicking sound that comes from the ac/heating unit. I was told that it was common in the Impala and that it is the actuator. It has gotten so bad that it clicks even when the car is not running and is locked. I know at least 7 people here locally that has the same problems as listed above with the same year and model car. Please take a survey or do something because this is definitely a manufacturing issue.
