Passenger airbag is enabled when a minor weight (such as a small backpack, or laptop) is placed in the passenger seat. I first reported this when the vehicle was under warranty and the dealer refused to address it, saying that there is no weigh under which the airbag should be deactivated. I believe that this is not the case, and that a light weight activating the airbag is a significant safety issue.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse. While starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 14V118000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.
I took my car for service on 2/20/2015 and the next day the service airbag lights came on stayed on even after I turned the car off and back on. The next day it didn't come back on the following day which was 2/22/2015 it came on and again and stayed all day. On 2/23/2015 didn't come on at all then came back on again on 02/24/2015 and remained on until I wrote this complaint. I called my dealer and they gave me an appointment for 2 weeks on 3/12/2015 if something is wrong with the airbag I'm not safe and my warranty may no longer cover it at that time being this is my only means of transportation.
Service air bag signs came on when vehicle is started from cold for the first time in the morning. It also happened on 12/06/2014 and 12/11/2014. I took it to dealership and they replaced N-tensioner kit on 12/12/2014. This morning "service air bag" sign came on again as soon as I started the car. The sign stayed on till at least 30 minutes.
