NHTSA defect investigations
Federal safety investigators have looked into a possible defect involving the 2014 Chevrolet Cheverolet:
Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited.

Seat belts
My seatbelt cable broke on 8/9/2021. I put the belt on and as I was adjusting the belts, the belt/cable that is attached to the floor by driver side door broke. I took it to the Chevrolet dealership to get it fixed and I did see that there was a recall on my model, but my VIN wasn't listed so the dealership was gonna charge me for the repair. My car has the same issue with the recall but they wanted to charge me to get it fixed even though it was a safety issue! It's not my fault that the cable broke! It's Chevrolets'! (NHTSA Recall 16V518) So I've been driving without a seatbelt now for 8 days. The dealership didn't even sound concerned that I could have gone thru my windshield if I were in a wreck! Yes, they actually let me leave the dealership without a seatbelt! No more Chevrolets for me!
I was absolutely horrified today when I got into my 2014 Chevrolet ss and the seatbelt detached from its anchor point in my hand without any warning. From the attached pictures, you can clearly see how fortunate I am to be alive. This has been my family car for the past five years, and just the mere thought that I have been putting my family's life at risk in this car is very upsetting. I am diligent with all maintenance and safety recalls. From the attached service invoice you can see that I brought my car to muzi Chevrolet in needham, ma on 12/27/2016 to have service campaign 15822 performed to replace potentially faulty seatbelt anchor cables. Because safety should always be paramount, I acted on this very serious recall immediately, but I am now left wondering whether the seat belt was replaced with an updated faulty part, or if the recall was ever performed at all. …
Air bags
My new ss was modified with hand controls. I was going into a turn at 50mph and my knee got caught behind the hand controls not allowing me to push my brakes in going around a turn. I hit the curb taking out two trees then hitting a third tree to bring the vehicle to a stop. The front end of my car is now gone with the radiator pushed into the engine. The vehicle is totaled and no air bags deployed at all. Not exactly sure when the engine cut off but when I came to a stop it was no longer running and OnStar automatically came on asking if everyone was OK since the vehicle had been in a crash. Luckily me and my friend riding along were not injured.
