2018 Chevrolet Impala Airbags Problems

Your passenger side front seat has a faulty airbag sensor that isn't consistently detecting when someone is sitting there. Sometimes moving the seat forward or backward temporarily fixes it, but the problem keeps returning. If you're in an accident, the airbag might not deploy properly, putting your passenger at serious risk. The sensor likely needs to be replaced or the seat assembly may need to be repaired by a dealer.

Your driver's side airbag deployed while your parked car was sitting unattended overnight. Before this happened, you noticed the airbag warning light come on while driving. This is a serious safety issue that needs immediate professional diagnosis to determine why the airbag fired without a crash. A technician will need to inspect the airbag system, wiring, and sensors to identify the fault and replace the deployed airbag.
