This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
During normal operation air bag light will illuminate and stay on. Dealership has examined vehicle and determined air bag control unit in steering column was causing the problem. Cost to consumer would be $600 for repairs. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
Air bag light came on in instrument panel indicating failure. The wiring harness on the tilt wheel broke (fatugued). Dealer said that I used the tilt mechanism too much and that it was not intended to be used each entry/exit. I commented that this assembly should have been designed to prevent this type of failure since the air bag operation was impaired by it. Dealer disagreed, refused to contact Chevrolet in my behalf and charged me over $240 to replace the part. This is a very critical assembly and never should have failed from use in this manner. I have the failed component and can send it to you for examination.
