SERVICE AIR BAG SUDDENLY CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE CAR ALARMS EVERY FEW SECONDS AND FLASHES THE WARNING SERVICE AIR BAG. IT WILL NOT GO OFF AND PREVENT ME FROM SEEING HOW FAST I AM GOING ETC ETC. I STILL HAVE A WARRANTEE ON CAR BUT I AM SURE IT DOES NOT INCLUDE AIR BAG. IT IS SCARY TO DRIVE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF AIR BAG WILL ENGAGE AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK. I AM TERRIFIED. ALSO THE TRACTION ENDED UP FRYING MY COMPUTER AND AFTER 2000 DOLLARS LATER MY CAR SOUNDS LIKE STARTER OR BATTERY IS DRAINED. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE IT FRIED THE COMPUTER THE FIRST TIME.VERY FRUSTRATING.

AIR BAG SENSOR IS ALWAYS COMING ON AND DINGS EVERY FEW MINUTES....WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT, WHETHER ITS IN DRIVE OR IN PARK, WHEN IT GOES OFF, I TURN THE SWITCH TO DISREGARD THE NOTIFICATION AND IT COMES ON EVERY FEW MINUTES....ALSO, THE EVAPORATOR CORE KIT NEEDS REPLACED, WHICH IS ABOUT $2000 AND 20 HOURS OF LABOR DUE TO HAVING TO REMOVE WINDSHEILD. HEATER AND DEFROST WORK FINE BUT AC WILL NOT COOL, SMELLS FUNNY INSIDE THE CAR AND MAKES NOISE WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN ON A/C. THANKFULLY ITS FALL.. NO RECALLS BUT FOUND LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE A/C AND 2011 CHEVROLET CAMAROS. THE A/C STARTED SLOWLY GETTING LESS AND LESS COOL EACH DAY THEN THE LAST DAY BEFORE IT QUIT, THE DRIVER SIDE WOULDNT COOL AT ALL BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD. PUT IN REFRIGERANT AND IT COOLED FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS THEN JUST QUIT COOLING. 75,000 MILES, HAD IT 5 YEARS 1 MONTH, NO WARRANTY. DONT WANT TO PAY THAT MUCH TO COOL MY CAR, WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER CAMARO! NOT HAPPY.
