2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 with 46000.0 miles

Vehicle was statinonary, and was hit from the rear and pushed into another vehicle on a highway. I have damage to rearend, driver side and front end. After the accident i recieved an email that there was a critical issue with airbags, my airbags did not deploy. Contacted gm about issue was transferred to esis/central claims for gm, they sent out and inspector to pull crash data, i was given copy of crash data, and crash data stated airbags deployed when they did not, it also showed a code B0052-00 which is an airbag deployment code. After weeks of back and forth my claim was denied for product defect on 06/12/18,

2013 DODGE DART with 86043.0 miles

Car is giving code B0052-13 and is turning off air bag and showing srs code with seatbelt off code for passenger air bag. Seatbelt is faulty and not covered under any factory warranty. My concern is if my car is in an accident my passenger will not be protected and could cause bodily injuries.

Hit a deer at 47mph on left front of vehicle. Air bag light came on with code B0052 deployment commanded. No air or pretensioner deployed. Contacted gm they sent an inspector out to retrieve crash data from recorder. They contacted me after they received the info from the inspector , and said i needed to take the vehicle to dealer to diagnose concern. There were no codes. They have not told me if there was a problem with the sdm that was replaced.

2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 with 50513.0 miles

12/15/2020 - noticed 'service air bag' warning in morning as i pulled into parking for work. When leaving for lunch no warning on - as i pulled out of parking warning appeared again - as i leaned forward to read - loud 'bang' and was pulled back into seat by hard retraction of seatbelt. Followed by smell of burning. Parked car, struggled to get out of seatbelt - looked around for damage - nothing - only seatbelts stuck retracted. Drove home carefully - plugged in obd 2 reader - four codes; B0015-04, B0022-00, B0052-04, B101D-00. First two indicate seat belt pretensioner deployed, third is deployment command, final is ecu hardware. Took to ase shop and was informed that the control unit indicated a collision - there was no collision - and belts were deployed. Asked what caused this and response was computer error....I am just thankful i was moving at 5 mph vice 65 on the highway. Gonna cost $2500 to fix replacing seatbelts and srs control unit, and a few day to get over a bruised shoulder

2009 CHEVROLET EXPRESS 1500 with 72000.0 miles

I'm from an independent repair shop. I have recently had problems with this 2009 express van. It has for no reason that i can tell. Deployed the side air bags while backing the vehicle up a driveway @ less than 5 mph. To give you a little history about the vehicle. The customer purchased the vehicle from a used car dealer approximately 6 month ago. The first problem with the vehicle was with the stabi-trac & reduced power light came on . We hooked up are tech-2 scan tool an retrieved the codes an diagnosed the problem with the steering wheel position sensor and the throttle position sensor. We repair those issues and sent it on. A little over a month latter the customer was driving the vehicle down a paved road @ 50- 55 mph on a near straight away. And it deployed the side air bags & seat belt pretensioners . The customer got it repaired at a body shop which replaced side air bags, seat belt pretensioners, side impact sensors & air bag module. Now roughly a week later it deployed the side airbags again while backing up a driveway in reverse to pickup his wife. I have the vehicle now and retrieved the codes ( B0052/ B0023 / B0022 / B0016 / b015 / B0090-71 ) does gm have problems with this type of vehicle? And i'm wondering can a rollover sensor malfunction an cause this to happen. Going by the code B0090 i have removed the carpet on the vehicle and found moisture under the carpet next to the rollover sensor. I removed it and found no corrosion at the wiring or connector. And the modules is a sealed module. Can anybody pull the crash data out of the airbag module so i can tell what parts are all need to be replaced. Any incite would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
