The air bag light on the dashboard appears during vehicle acceleration, while in motion, indicating that the air bag system is no longer functioning. To add insult to injury, I brought the vehicle to gordon chevrolet (address below) for service. The dealer changed the front impact sensors of the vehicle at my cost. Upon receiving the vehicle back, it immediately reported that the airbag system was still not functioning correctly (air bag light). To this date the dealer refuses to acknowledge the issue, would not refund me for misdiagnoses and will not return my phone calls regarding a remedy to the issue.

The airbag readiness light remained illuminated intermittently after completing self check diagnostics that are initiated when the vehicle is started. This indicates the system may not be working properly and may not inflate in the event of a crash or could deploy without a crash. Also, the seat belt pretensioner may not work properly. Chevrolet diagnosed the problem in december, 2014. A connector from the seat belt and side impact air bag sensors had dislodged from a retained position (clip attached to a bar) underneath the driver's seat. The technician reattached the connector using the clip to the fasten it to the bar under the seat and cleared error messages from the computer. This eliminated the airbag readiness light. The technician believed that the movement of the seat with the connector improperly secured caused the problem. The problem recurred on january 2, 2015, once upon start up, cleared, and then again while driving. I checked the connector and it again had dislodged. When the connector is attached to the bar under the seat, the connector it is so close to the floor that when the seat is moved, the connector drags on the floor, dislodging it. The seat movement apparently results in a loss of continuity in the system illuminating the airbag readiness light. The vehicle has a memory seat and hence, it moves its full travel distance back upon exiting the vehicle and then returns to a preset position upon starting the car. My concern is that, according to the owner's manual, this may disable the side impact air bag, cause it to deploy without a crash and cause the shoulder belt pretensioner to fail in an accident. Since the problem is intermittent, the problem could occur at any time.

I have taken my car into dealership multiple times with problem of the air bag sensor light coming on and off while I am driving my car. To date the issue has not been resolved and I am very concerned that if I am in a car accident and that air bag sensor does not function correctly. I think there is some type of flaw with this sensor and it needs to be corrected .
