2021 Chevrolet Silverado Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Air bag light was on , took to dealership because this was absolutely a safety hazard! The left front crash sensor is defective.

Turned from [XXX] into my street, about 9 houses down, i could not brake or turn steering wheel. Ended up hitting 2 cars, the problem was that the air bags did not deploy and the seat belt did not lock. truck was totalled. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

25 to 30 MPH front end collision with no air bag deployment. During repair it showed airbags deployed although none were out.

I was in an accident that resulted in being hit on the passenger side and then colliding with a traffic light pole. My concern is I hit the pole head on and my airbags never deployed

I am submitting a safety complaint regarding a vehicle restraint system failure. I was involved in a collision with a deer. During the incident, the seat belt pretensioner activated; however, the seat belt did not properly restrain me. I experienced forward movement despite the pretensioner activation. The airbags did not deploy. Because pretensioner activation is intended to lock and tighten the seat belt during a collision, I am concerned that the restraint system failed to function as designed. This raises concerns about occupant safety and the ability of the seat belt system to provide protection in future crashes. I am submitting this complaint to document a potential safety defect and request review of this restraint system failure.“After reporting the seat belt restraint failure to General Motors, I was informed that because I was not injured, no action would be taken and no further review would occur.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I was in an accident my seatbelts did not lock and OnStar was called , it says my airbags were deployed I could smell a smell but nothing deployed

The vehicle involved is a Chevrolet Silverado 1500. During a collision, the vehicle sustained a front-left (driver-side) impact which caused it to spin and subsequently strike the rear. Despite the severity of the initial impact and secondary rear collision, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), including the front and side airbags, did not deploy. The failure of the airbag system increased the risk of injury to all occupants, including a minor child. Without deployment of the front or side airbags during a front-left impact and secondary rear collision, occupants were exposed to direct impact forces that airbags are designed to help mitigate. There were no airbag or SRS warning lights, dashboard messages, or other indications of a malfunction prior to the collision. The concern regarding the airbag system arose only after the incident occurred. Following the collision, the vehicle was inspected by law enforcement and insurance representatives, and documentation is available. The issue has not been reproduced, as it occurred during the collision event.

The brake stopped working. I just bought the car two months ago.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle crashed into a parked vehicle. During the crash, the front passenger side of the vehicle was severely damaged but the air bag did not deploy. The driver sustained an injured nose, mild concussion, bottom tooth damage, and back and neck pains. No medical treatment was needed. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was later towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were contacted but no assistance was offered. The manufacturer's air bag department declined assistance due to the air bag failure not being reported promptly. The failure mileage was 23,000.

Airbag failure to deploy. Vehicle didn't deploy airbags at a head on side collision, metal bumper got pushed in and front tow hook got bent, Impact was detected by iPhone crash detection.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while her son was sitting in the driver’s side rear passenger seat, the seat belt fractured. The contact stated that she then sat her son in the middle rear passenger’s side seat and the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the driver’s rear and middle rear passenger seat belts and seat belt buckles needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V811000 (Seat Belts). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 33,000.

I had a head on crash on 2/14/23. The other driver was moving in excess of 50mph. The hit was center of the front bumper pushing the bumper and radiator in to the engine compartment. No air bag deployment. However the Onstar system activated immediately.

Every so ofter I get an audible and visual alert telling me to Service Seat Safety Restraint System as well as the airbag light on the dashboard. This lastest incident is probably the 8th time it has happened since Ive brought the truck new

Safety restraint t system failure - airbag lights on and airbags advised will not deploy if in accident

Service safety restraint system with airbag light comes on then goes away this happens when going into a turn.

The air bag light and service restraint message came up constantly, it seem like it would self clear, then come right back. Truck had only 250 miles on it when it started, it is still at the dealer waiting for parts. They told me it was because of corrosion (in a brand new truck)

PURCHASED NEW, WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS THE srs SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON THE INFO CENTER IN DASH AND WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON (RED) IT WOULD DO THIS FOR 15-30 SECONDS AND THEN "RESET" AND THEN LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. WAS INCONSISTENT BUT SCARED MY WIFE, SO I TOOK THE TRUCK BY THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A HARD CODE IN THE SYSTEM AND MAY BE A BUG IN THE SYSTEM AND KEEP AN EYE ON IT...WELL A FEW MORE DAYS AFTER IT FINALLY SET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HARD CODE AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. FOUND OUT IF THE LIGHT COMES ON THE AIR BAGS ARE NOT ACTIVATED, NICE ONE GM. SO AFTER 3 DAYS THEY CHANGED THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THEN FIND 3 HARD CODES FOR ENGINE MISFIRES. ALL BEFORE THE 1ST OIL CHANGE...COME ON MAN THIS IS 2021 SO WHILE ITS IN THE 2ND TIME THE GUY HAS TO ORDER THE PART THEY DENT THE DOOR AND SCRATCH THE PAINT AND NOW IT BACK FOR 2 MORE WEEKS FOR PAINT AND BODY AND INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ISSUES UPDATES POOR QUALITY AND HEADACHES. BUT WIFE STILL FEELS UNSAFE WITH THE AIR BAG FAILURE ISSUES.

I HIT A COUPLE OF PALM TREES AND AN OAK TREE AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF.. HUGE CONCERN DO I WANT TO BUY ANOTHER ONE?
