What owners wrote
“my airbag warning light comes on intermittently and the dealer has said the parts are not available for me to get the airbag fixed. The letter I received from Chevrolet said not to drive the car and that there was no remedy. I would like a replacement vehicle until the parts are available to fix the airbag.”

“I got the recall letter in June but there still aren't parts to fix it they say , it's the only vehicle I drive but it is terrifying that the airbag is dangerous! I just want it fixed before it hurts or kills one of us, the service airbag light comes on once in a while and stays on longer each time it comes on.”

“Service air bag keeps coming on. We took it to Chevy dealership and was told the air bag sensor is malfunctioning which is causing the air bag light and service air bag message to appear on the dashboard.”
Filed Aug 25, 2022
“I know there are recalls on other Chevy traverse for air bags. My air bag light goes off every so often, Iâm just waiting for the day for it to go off in my face while driving. My power steering pressure pump has been leaking, no longer have power steering, makes driving very difficult/unsafe. Iâve heard of many other Traverse vehicles with the same problem, but why is it not being addressed?”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 78 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
