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.
While the vehicle is in operation in any driving condition the airbag service indicator warning light came on and stayed on. This was intermittent at first and then stayed on after a few days. Dealer will not cover this key safety component failure. This seems to be related to the last recall for airbag failure on the 2009-2013 Traverse model vehicles made this year. The recall fixes the yellow wire harness connector failure by cutting it away and splicing the wires together. There are now technical bulletins out for the 2014 Traverses that seem to have the same issue.
Dealer has told me that the vehicle registers an error code of B0022. According to the dealer, GM tells them to check four wires on the connectors to the front passenger seat wiring harness that causes the check airbag warning light to illuminate. Specifically, GM tells the dealer to solder the connections on the four wires on the connector. The dealer has also told me that if the warning light for the air bag system is illuminated, none of the airbags will deploy. In my opinion this is a serious design flaw. If the airbag warning light is illuminated and you have an accident before the problem is corrected this could result in major injuries. Also, a connector termination problem is a manufacturing defect and should be corrected by the dealer, especially in a critical safety system such as the airbag system.
Service airbag light came on, the dashboard panel.. took my vehicle to haley auto mall in farmville va. They diagnosed and found code B0015 and charged me to fix it. I feel like this issue should have been covered under warranty or by Chevrolet. Should not have been an out of pocket expense from me. If someone could please contact me at [xxx] I would appreciate it. Thank you information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact indicated that the fuel gauge failed to work and displayed less fuel when the fuel tank was full. Also, the air bag sensor and other gauges intermittently illuminated and the vehicle stalled several times. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V614000 (electrical system). The dealer was contacted to schedule an appointment in order to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100.
