2011 Chevrolet Traverse Air Bags & Restraints Problems

side curtain airbags deployed driving 70 mph on I94 outside of Monticello, MN after drifting onto the rumble strip. Upon turning back there was a loud bang from the side airbags deploying. The drivers side came down and hit my daughter in the side of the head, the passenger side didn't come down all the way missing my 86 year old Mom as she is 5 ft tall. My daugther by some miracle didn't panic and veer into other traffic lanes with other vehicles driving 70 mph. GM is denying a problem and insinuating that something other than defect caused the airbags to deploy, even though there is nothing but rumble strips on the section of road. They are blaming some minor scraps on the side of the vehicle that were existing on a 2011 Traverse.

My driver side seat belt cable snaped. All I did was go to put my seat belt on. There was no warning no warning lights no nothing. This is a recall (Recall No. 14V266000 Recall Date; 05-20-2014) for these vehicles manufactured June 6, 2008 thru May 14, 2014 but as I was told by GMC not for my vehicle VIN number. I was told by them I may have special coverage but I would have to have it inspected by a dealership. The dealership told me it would be $195 for them to look at it. I then called GMC back and spoke with someone else who told me that special coverage would not cover the seat belt and basically I was out of luck. This is obviously a problem with their seatbelts and had I been in an accident I could have been seriously injured they should have to replace it at no cost to me.

SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING ON DISPLAY, POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE.

Service air bag comes on as well as it wont detect if someone is in the passenger seat. Apparently A LOT of people are having this issue how is it not a recall yet????

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ONSTAR NOTIFIED ME THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO A WARNING THAT STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG, I DID TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS I KEEP GETTING A WARNING THAT SAYS "SERVICE AIRBAG." I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SURE ENOUGH, OVER 30 PEOPLE, AND THERE COULD BE A LOT MORE, HAD REPORTED THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING. THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND STAYS ON FOR HOURS, THEN IT WILL GO OFF, BUT COME BACK ON AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON BEFORE I LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY. IN SOME CASES OTHER OWNERS STATED THAT THEY HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $1,200 TO HAVE A REPAIR DONE AND THEN THE PROBLEM APPEARED AGAIN. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAVE 45,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A FACTORY DEFECT AND I WOULD HOPE THAT NO ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOME ACTION IS TAKEN BY YOUR AGENCY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM RECTIFIED BY GENERAL MOTORS.

THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND HAS THREE (3) FAILED SEAT BELTS. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID ONE OF THE BELTS IS ON RECALL BUT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE OTHERS. I AM A RECENT WIDOW WITH 4 CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS OLD DRIVNG THIS CAR WITH FAILED SEAT BELTS. I NEED HELP TO GET THE SEAT BELTS FIXED SO THE MY CHILDREN WILL BE SAFE AND I WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.
