2009 Chevrolet Traverse air bags problems

“A year a go the steering at low speed would act like the power steering just stop working, very hard to turn. but not all the time, but now it more often. when a kid ran out between two parked cars I went to turn and hit the brakes the steering went out. Luckily he stop in time, but after that I needed it repaired. Went to GM web site and was amazed of all the people with this, called chevy dealer about repairs and was told its my problem and it would be $ 2100.00 to replace a faulty power steering pump, how is this not a safety problem. Try turning in a parking space and the wheel locks up its hard not to hit the car beside you. WITH NO WARNING”

“WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MILES AND A TRAILER HIT US FROM BEHIND AND THE AIR SAFETY BAGS WERE NEVER ACTIVATED HAD AN IMPACT IN FROM AND BACK AND THE SEAT BELTS DIDN'T WORK EITHER”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN AND CRANKSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. O'REILLY CHEVROLET (6160 E BROADWAY BLVD, TUCSON, AZ 85711, (520) 829-3876) WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V073000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.”

“"SERVICE AIR BAG" DIC MESSAGE AND DASHBOARD AIR BAG WARNING ICON CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THEN IT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR A WHILE - LONG ENOUGH TO LOG A CODE. THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED AN AIR BAG HARNESS. THEY TOLD ME THE CONNECTION POINTS OF THE WIRING LOOSEN UP OVER TIME AND GIVE A DIFFERENT CIRCUIT RESISTANCE READING THAT THE COMPUTER READS AS A FAULT. THAT WILL COST 3 HOURS OF LABOR AND MANY DOLLARS FOR THE REPLACEMENT HARNESS. I AM WAITING FOR THE HARNESS TO COME ON NOW. BUT THIS VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT WERE COVERED IN A 2014 RECALL PROGRAM. THE 2014 REPAIR WAS DONE, AND NOW THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. I WAS TOLD IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE BUT BE AWARE THAT IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS LIT, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY.”

“AIR BAGS LIGHT KEEPS TURNING ON , MY FRONT SUSPENSION KEEPS RATTLING KEEP FIXING IT AND CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM , MY SEAT BELTS KEEP BREAKING, WE HAVE A ELICTRICAL PROBLEM SOMETIMES THINGS WORK AND SOMETIMES IT DON'T , AND TAIL GATE JERKS SOMETIMES WHEN CLOSING.”
