On November 29, 2018 at around 12:00pm, I was driving down the road on route 460 West toward grundy, Virginia, the roads was clear, and the weather was clear, at a speed about 35mph and the ceiling airbags deployed causing the seatbelts to lock up, and shut the truck down to a stop in the middle of the road. The air bags made a loud noise, that a neighboring business heard them deploy. I was not injured only scared and startled by what had just happened. I restarted my truck and pulled off to the side of the road, and could not understand what had happened, and proceded to drive to my mother in law's work place. I then called my mom which was the original owner and she advised me to call ramey Chevrolet richlands va because the air bags should not have deployed. I had to reshedule an appointment because of bad weather and being able to get off work to take it to them for their schedule until January 18, 2019. My truck was owned by my mom and dad and has never been in a crash. We have currently around 58,000 miles on this truck and as you can tell very low milage. My wife mostly drives this truck. Both me and my wife have always practice safe driving and obeyed speed limit. The truck is currently at ramey Chevrolet richlands va and I talk to an inspector from Chevrolet by the name of tony at 1-866-446-6963 ext. 59115544 and he told me they would not fix my truck because the shocks was damaged. Now if the shocks are damaged then when the truck was shut down by the airbags may have damaged the shocks, but this truck was not in a crash, there was no reason for the airbags to deploy just driving at a speed of around 35mph. I am thankful I was not injured. I hope we can work to get this resloved.

For the air bag, the light continually goes on and when I took it to dealer; they said it was fine, but when I took it later; dealer said that warranty had expired and it would cost me $800. I just left it alone. Light continually goes on and turns itself off. For the seat belt, back seat middle, the dealer repaired it twice, but once warranty expired than they wouldn't fix it anymore unless I paid. For the gas, I pump gas and it constant causes pump to pop and shut off. They had fixed the problem at dealer, but once warranty expired they stopped. I had to pay for all repairs.
