2015 Chevrolet Traverse air bags problems

“I was in a car accident on August 13, 2026. During the collision I was hit on the driver side front which spun me around into a pole. I suffered a concussion, bruised, sternum, and left wrist ligament damage. Of the six airbags, not one deployed. The driver of the vehicle was said to be going at least 35 mph as I was nearly at a stop, going no more than 3 to 5 mph. My vehicle was totaled and I have spent months being treated for my injuries. I just emailed a very detailed accounting of dealing with GM to your department when I notified them of the defect. I was told on August 28 that I would have a response within 30 days once his technician was able to run a diagnostic. I then had to call at least half a dozen times and email about the same number of times before them finally inspecting the vehicle today, October 29. Their response was the airbag operated as it should. I would like to file a claim and have the vehicle which I have been preserving hopefully looked at by a third-party.”

“The 2015 Chevy Traverse LTZ that I own is presenting with the same problems as many of its body style and year. The water intrusion has caused wiring to corrode in the side detection system & the drivers door wiring harness is presenting with open circuits. The LH side object module is throwing code U0233:00. They tested circuits at RH module. Found water intrusion in module, & corrosion on terminals & harness. Due to nature of location of modules, they recommend replacing LH & RH modules & harness. DTC B0085:05 current. Tested circuits & found open circuit internal to drivers door harness. Recommend replacing harness. The air bag code threw 2 days after I bought the veh 04/01/25, I attempted to contact the dealership I bought the vehicle from, AutoCredit in Hayden, ID, who admitted to the dangerous code being present, and that they were going to do nothing about it. Some time late April, my veh threw the code for side detection. On 05/27/25 I took my veh into Taylor & Sons Chevy in Ponderay, who dx my codes, and advised the above was needed. They also confirmed the fact that when that airbag code is present, that none of my airbags would deploy at time of…”

“During a routine maintenance appointment with my mechanic, the airbag warning light illuminated on the dashboard immediately following service. I brought the vehicle to a dealership for diagnosis and was informed that the issue is due to a manufacturer-issued recall affecting the airbag system. However, I was also told that no replacement parts are currently available and there is no estimated date for when the defective component can be replaced. This creates a serious safety risk, as the vehicle may now be operating with a disabled or malfunctioning airbag system, which could fail to deploy in the event of a collision. I am forced to drive a vehicle that has been acknowledged as unsafe by the manufacturer and dealer, without remedy or safe alternative provided. The dealer confirmed the recall and the unavailability of parts, but has offered no loaner vehicle, reimbursement, or temporary resolution. I am requesting that NHTSA intervene to ensure that: The manufacturer remedies the safety defect in a timely manner. Affected drivers are provided with safe alternative transportation if parts are delayed. Accountability measures are enforced if harm results from…”
