I have had my 2015 Impala at dealership twice for my airbag sensor on passenger seat and have paid money out of my pocket for this repair. This year and model car had a recall on airbags but the dealership said even though it is not a wear and tear item but a safety one I still had to pay out of my pocket. With this year having issues with airbag and this being the seat sensor I believe this safety issue should be covered, my tcn number is ain16-53807
Takata recall. I was driving down a county road, I sneezed and hit my face on the steering wheel and hit a tree at 40 mph. My air bags did not deploy at 40mph in a frontal crash. It totaled the car. Bent the frame and frame around the motor. My passenger was hurt worse than me. Why didn't my air bags deploy?
