While driving at approx 50 mph, another vehicle pulled out in front of me. I applied my brakes, but hit the other vehicle. The airbags did not deploy as they should have. The seat belt stopped my forward progression, but I do not know why the air bags did not deploy.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle airbag failure during accident.

- Chino, CA, USA

SRS warning came on. Had fault code. Called Chevy dealer and they said I would need a new airbag. I researched and found that GM does know about this and even put out a tsb. It is a connector to the airbag itself located in the left kick panel. The fix is to clean the connector or replace it. No new airbag is needed but it did reoccur about a year later. Recleaned and ok again. This is a safety item and should be a recall. Since GM knew it I must assume that NHTSA knew it also. I can see where a lot of people would not fix this and just drive like this since a lot of technicians think you need a new airbag when it is in fact poor wiring by GM.

For no apparent reason, the air bag warning lights on vehicle came on when starting the vehicle. Vehicle has not been involved in any accident. Vehicle was taken in for repair and repair shop said the front sensors for no apparent reason had gone defective disabling the air bags on vehicle. Sensors had to be replaced and I was told parts were only available from a Chevrolet dealership. After repair I checked online and found numerous other owners of Chevrolet vehicles have experienced the same problem. I am concerned with the safety issue of disabled air bags when this part goes defective for no reason.

Service air bag warning light has been on since 2007, when vehicle was still under warranty. Has been to bob grimm Chevrolet in morton, il for this same problem approx 9 times. I no longer live in the vicinity of this dealer, and wouldn't want them working on it again since they have been unable to repair multiple times. Written communication to GM all the way up to CEO has not resolved this issue. Jack schmitt Chevrolet in O'fallon, il did a diagnostic and reported the air bag in my vehicle is used. Nobody has ever worked on the truck regarding the air bag except bob grimm Chevrolet. My understanding is when this light is on, the air bag will not deploy, endangering my life.

As I was driving the "service air bag" warning appeared in the information center of the dash and the air bag light started to blink. There was no reason for the warning light. I re-set the information center and the warning reappeared. Very disappointing as there are only 64,537 miles on the vehicle. I checked on the internet to see if there was a recall for this problem for my vehicle, as the miles are very low on my vehicle. Of course there was none for my vehicle. It appears this is a common problem with GM vehicles and an extra expense to the owners. I'm very disappointed at this point. I could not locate any recalls for my vehicle VIN, but there were other recalls involving the air bags with other GM vehicles. I'm lost for words.

I was traveling at 50 mph into town. The vehicle in front of me had stopped and was making a left turn. I did not see the left blinker right away. When I stepped on my brakes, my left brake line blew and I lost my brakes and rear ended the car. My speed at impact was around 40 to 45 mph. The airbags in the truck did not go off. I sustained whiplash in my neck and left shoulder from the impact to the vehicle in front of me.

The contact also reported that the driver's side rear brake line was rusted and ruptured, which caused the rear brakes to become inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the problem. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 72,000.

Service airbag light on.

My air bag sensor malfunctioned. This is a part that should be guaranteed by General Motors. Instead I paid over $500 dollars to have it repaired at a dealership. 64K miles / 8 years and the air bag sensor needs to be replaced? I searched online and noticed many others are having this problem. GM got a government bailout and should be required to pay for this repair.

Upon starting the truck for the first time on 6-11-2013 the "service air bag" light came on and has stayed on. There is no reason for the failure other than poor craftsmanship.

- Jamestown, PA, USA

Upon starting truck in morning, "service air bag" message came on. Took to dealer who said the L front impact sensor failed and needs to be replaced $400+. cost seems excessive and the safety system failure, if that is what it really is, should not be my responsibility.
