Chevrolet Trax airbags deployed on Chevrolet Trax

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing concerns related to airbag deployment and safety features. These issues include the potential for serious injuries to the face, head, and cervical area if an airbag deploys while a passenger is not wearing a seat belt, as the airbags are designed to work in conjunction with seat belts for optimal safety. Additionally, owners note that the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) must function properly to deploy the airbags during a crash with sufficient force. Furthermore, any repairs to the vehicle's structure must restore it to its original production configuration to ensure the proper operation of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) sensing system, which is crucial for airbag deployment. Understanding these factors is essential for the safety of all occupants in the Chevrolet Trax.
