2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

The contact's father owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact's father received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V504000 (Air Bags) however, the part to the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated on September 13, 2021, while his father was driving 5 mph over a pothole, the driver’s and passenger’s side front roof rail air bags deployed inadvertently. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated after the failure. The contact stated no one was injured or needed medical attention. No police report was filed. The driver was able to drive the vehicle to a repair shop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000. VIN tool confirms part not available.

Emission Computer System Issue: While pulling a 5th Wheel RV through the mountains of New Mexico three emission codes came up on the truck as we climbed a hill. One of the codes related to turbocharger emissions. As we climbed the truck automatically went into low power mode and basically shutdown. We tried to pull the vehicle off the road but were unable to totally do so. We were stuck on a hill with the 5th wheel in a position where we could have been hit by traffic in an area with no cell or other services. As I carry a code reader in the truck, I quickly pulled up the codes and was able to delete them and get the truck back off the road (This is why I don't have the exact codes) The truck never through another code for the next 2,000 mile and to this day has not thrown any further codes. This is not the first time this has occurred. The safety issue related to the computer immediately shutting down the truck for emission reasons? It is my understanding that it should provide a warning that it will shut down in a certain amount of miles. It provided no warning and put us in a position with major safety implications. There should be nothing that should shut down any engine without a proper notification.
