Chevrolet Traverse Air Bags Safety Report | June 06, 2011
Reported on June 06, 2011
| THE SERVICE AIRBAG INDICATOR RANDOMLY COMES ON. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ERROR MESSAGES SERVICE AIRBAG OR SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG . WE HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT DESPITE TRYING THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CHEVY HAS ISSUED TWO TECHNICAL BULLETINS INDICATING THAT COMMON DEVICES LIKE CELL PHONES IN THE FRONT SEAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE SENSORS. THE CRITICAL QUESTION IS WHETHER THE AIRBAGS ARE WORKING PROPERLY OR IN THE WORST CASE THE CELL PHONES ARE DE-ACTIVATING THE AIRBAGS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE DETERMINE WHETHER THE AIRBAGS ARE WORKING PROPERLY WHEN THERE ARE CELL PHONES IN THE CAR AND/OR WHEN THE SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS THE CAR USED BY MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO DRIVE HERSELF AND MY SON TO SCHOOL AND I WANT TO BE ASSURED THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE WORKING CORRECTLY AND THAT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WITH A FALSE SERVICE INDICATOR. CAN YOU HELP GET THIS ASSURANCE FROM CHEVY? | |
