2013 Chevrolet Suburban Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V053000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

M y dash panel has had a small crack for years but the entire passenger air bag section lifted this morning. The dash panel is jagged and unsafe

I took my 2013 Suburban to a Chevy dealership in San Jose CA to have the airbag recall repaired. Upon completion, my airbag light and "Service Airbag" message were still on. I asked why this was still on. They said the recall issue was fixed, but did not know why the light and message were still on. But wanted to charge over $1400 to diagnose the issue. I filed a complaint w/ the Chevy's California Customer Engagement Center, and escalated to one of their supervisors. I emailed them the picture I took of the light and the message. He forward it to their technicians. He contacted me a week later and stated that the indicator of the service bag warning (Code 212328790) fault is present, and that the airbags will not deploy. But because this matter was not part of the recall, I would have to be responsible to pay for the repair, or contact NHTSA to file a complaint and have them issue another recall. I understand that I am responsible for the wear-and-tear on my vehicle. The airbag warning light and message stating "Service Airbag" is something that was never in may control, to maintain and/or replace. This was a defective piece of an equipment that I wasn't responsible for. I am requesting NHTSA issue another recall for this matter. Thank you.

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF A DANGEROUS AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2013 SUBURBAN. THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. CHEVY IS NOT RETURNING OUR PHONE CALLS. APPARENTLY IT IS OK WITH THEM FOR ME TO DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND WITH WHAT IS EQUIVALENT TO A HAND GRENADE IN MY GLOVE BOX.

WHEN DECELERATING GETTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY 6/6/2020 THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVVED UP ON IT'S OWN. THE MESSAGE CENTER IS SAYING THAT THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED, THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNS ON AND OFF AND GOES FROM HIGH TO LOW ON IT'S OWN , AND THE POWER WINDOWS IN THE SECOND ROW OF SEATING WILL ROLL DOWN BUT CAN ONLY BE ROLLED UP AT TIMES BY THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW CONTROLS. THE BRAKE GRADING SYSTEM TURNS ON AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE TIRE SENSOR READING DISPLAYS ARE OFF. THE TIRE SENSOR READINGS ARE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER (IE. THE MESSAGE CENTER SAYS THAT THE LEFT REAR TIRE IS LOW, BUT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE IS ACTUALLY LOW. LASTLY, DESPITE REGULAR TIMELY RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES ONE OF MY LIFTERS IN MY ENGINE BROKE OFF ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY LAST YEAR. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTOSHOP. THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS JUST A MONTH OUTSIDE OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN ONE HAZARD AFTER ANOTHER SINCE WE PURCHASED IT.
