8/10/2023 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 had a collision with a deer on driver side front bumper and grille near Piedmont KS in the country. Airbags did NOT deploy although the airbag light DID come on at time of incident. On-Start contacted husband, driver, to make sure he was ok since it was a front end collision. Truck is currently at Gerber Auto Collision 10760 W Kellogg Wichita KS being repaired. Truck was due to be returned to us by 8/21/2023. As of this morning, the date was updated to be 8/21 to 8/25. I called them on it and they said they were having "someone" check the airbags since the light was on but it did not deploy.

Bad airbag sensor. Transmission wet out with 144000 miles

My 2017 Chevrolet Silverado's air bag light has come on. I had the Chevrolet dealers review and diagnosis the issue. I am told that the passenger airbag and sensor need replacing. Cost to repair $2400 and dealership (Wilson Chevrolet) doesn't think they can get the parts in to complete repair. I was told my year and make have a recall, but not my model for the same issues. I do not believe that a truck that is just 5 years old should have this type of safety issue and not covered by the manufacturer, Chevrolet. And if there is a recall for the year and make, shouldn't cover all model trucks in that recall?

1. I lost power steering, power breaks, all dash lights/power and I believe air bags. The truck is available for inspection. 2. The first time I was traveling at 65mph in moderate traffic, it was very difficult to pull over to safety. The second time I was traveling at 50mph on a very windy road with heavy traffic. I almost hit another vehicle head on with several vehicles traveling in both lanes. The last time I was backing into my carport and almost bumped I to my house. 3. No, I called onstar the first time, they did a system check and said everything was good. I called a dealership the Second time and they confirmed I had no open recalls and explained it would be difficult to troubleshoot because it was intermittent. 4. I will be calling back to the dealership in the morning to make an appointment. 5. I got the audible chime, the airbag light came on and the "trailer break" message came on the info center. But everything goes back to normal.

April 04,2021. Stopped for traffic on I-10, 17 miles East of lafayette.la. While sitting approx. 10 to 12 feet behind the auto, a Ford 350 with a trailer struck me from behind at approx. 50 plus mph. The impact pushed me into the carin front. Totally destroyed the reared. My reared and frontend was damage. My front bumper caved in. After impact, my truck cab filled with smoke. My airbags never deployed. My air bag light displayed that bags was deployed but they didn't. got out of tuck because at the time, I had no idea what was happening. After such an serious impact from the back and front, I was very discourage that the airbags did not deploy as they were suppose

I was involved in a rear-end collision, where I was sitting stationary. The other vehicle hit me going estimated speed of 50 mph. The air bags did not deploy, yet the gas from the airbags filled the vehicle and some of the plastic in the interior has been broken/damaged. The police officer asked me if I "vaped", that is how cloudy it was inside the vehicle and smelled like sulfur. This has caused great concern that the airbags did not deploy, yet the gases from them did.

Traveling approx 30mph, on a city street, another vehicle turned left in front of me, I did not even have time to hit the brakes. Both the front driver and passenger airbag deployed but the driver seatbelt did not lock up. I came completely out of the drivers seat, my chest hit the airbag and my lower abdomen and upper thighs were bruised badly from hitting the steering wheel. I also had neck pain for 2 days afterward. I had a passenger in the front seat and that seatbelt locked, the passenger was not injured and only a little sore in the neck and back the next day.
