In Sept 2022 my airbag light came on and dealer charged me $1,200 for a senor issue to fix, then in December 2022 it came on again they said it was a different issue related to vehicle safety and charged me for part. Then in June 2023 i received the recall notice for my airbag - I've tried multiple times to see when this can be fixed hopefully prior to shards of metal impaling me - told parts not available. In October 2023 the airbag light came on again and this time they said it was the seatbelt anchor and want to charge me $487. It appears they need to figure out a priority to fix what can harm people - if they have parts to make new cars. also it is obvious this vehicle has safety issues making money for dealer and costly both time and money (dealer doesn't offer loaners). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2014 chevy traverse driver side seatbelt broke at the cable while putting the seatbelt on. There is a recall for 2009-2014 chevy traverses about this issue but mine isn't a part of that recall and it still happened too me. Chevy will not fix it free of charge. This is a safety issue since my seatbelt does not work properly now. The same year traverse have the problem but my vin isn't in the recall list.

Service air bag alert and associated panel light are showing. Took vehicle to my mechanic and was informed that the problem is the driver's side lap pretensioner. A search on NHTSA site resulted in recall # 14V266000. Problem is my VIN does not appear on NHTSA or GM databases as an affected VIN. Light is persistently on at all times.

Air bag light intermittently illuminates while stationary and in motion on any type of road. Dealer says it is an issue with a seat beat retractor. Air bag light on = air bags will not deploy N the event of an accident. The quote was over $500 to fix this issue.

My service airbag light came on, and my mechanic also noted that there was an issue with my passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner deployment loop. This car has been in no accidents, and these issues should be recalled, but my dealer says there is no recall.

The seat belt anchors on the 2nd row bench seat have injured several of my passengers, including myself and my children. I've only owned car for about 1 year a love it, except for this huge problem. The anchors are non-bendable and are just too long and rigid. When people try to sit or scoot over, they have been injured and complained to me about this problem. I don't think its an issue with the persons size, because both slim and large framed people have been injured by these anchors in my car. My son is only 120 lbs and got a huge bruise from accidentally sitting down too quickly. Just recently, we recently took a road trip and he bruised his tailbone from the anchor pressing up against him while he slept. My niece was in her car seat in the middle of 2nd row so he only had so much room. I have personally injured myself when cleaning out my car. At least 8-10 people (kids and adult friends) have been injured (temporarily) and complained to me about these seat belt anchors being a nuisance and uncomfortable for their travel. This makes me feel bad because I chose this specific type of vehicle so I could travel with more people, but knowing that they are uncomfortable defeats the purpose, especially for long trips. This seems like a huge design flaw that somehow fell through the cracks and is definitely and issue per the various complaints found online. Either the anchors need to be shortened or they need to be designed like the majority of other cars where the anchor is movable and more flexible. Im including pictures of the 2nd row and 3rd row anchors so the difference can be seen. The 3rd row ones are no problem and I have never received compalints about them. I think the 2nd row anchors should be designed similar to the 3rd row ones.

This letter is in regards to a complaint I have for a recall on belts for my 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. I went to the location, friendly Chevrolet located on 35hwy and inwood rd. The service advisors at this location declined to give me any paperwork in reference to taking/inquiring to getting the recall resolved. This location declined to fix and resolve the recall concern. They stated, due to not having the part and didn't know the time for delivery for the part and not having a car rental they denied the service. He also failed to offer or review any other options to resolve the recall. Recall- 14187 thank you!

Related to NHTSA campaign number: 14V266000 I purchased a 2014 Chevy Traverse from ekins Chevrolet on June 7th, 2014 and took the vehicle home the same day. On June 18th, 2014 I received a phone call indicating that recall parts were ready to be installed despite that I did not receive any notice from the dealership that the vehicle I purchased had a known safety defect that had not been fixed. The sale of the vehicle with this safety defect is in direct contradiction with the stop delivery order (dcs 3238) issued by GM on May 18th, 2014.
