2019 Chevrolet Impala Airbags Problems

Your passenger-side airbags are turning off when someone sits in the seat because the weight sensor in the seat is rubbing against the seat frame and not working properly. This means the airbags won't deploy in a crash if a passenger is seated. The fix will likely involve replacing or repositioning the seat weight sensor and possibly the seat frame components it's rubbing against.

You were in a crash with a deer on the Garden State Parkway, and your airbags failed to deploy even though the impact was severe enough to total your vehicle. You've been unable to get a response from your dealer about why this happened.

A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, THE SEATBELTS ENGAGED SO HARD THAT IT SNAPPED THE BACK OF MY DRIVER SEAT HOWEVER THE AIR BAGS DID NOT RELEASE.
