Reported at 38,000 miles, April 2019 Crash

Purchased this car from chevrolet dealership. 5-21-2016. Noticed a message when I started car following day saying ' service airbags"

Reported at 19,917 miles, May 2016

The lights on the dashboard work, and nearly every service light and message pops up. None of the gauges on the dashboard work including the speedometer and gas meter. The turn signal works but doesn't show it inside the car. The radio has to be turned on manually when getting in and out of the car. The radio will randomly shut off when driving. I've been sent away from dealerships before with no answer claiming that all modules are giving a reading so they do not know what the problem is.
