2007 Chevrolet Equinox: airbag warning light

Filed Apr 30, 2022 · Airbags · MI

Passenger seat airbag is malfunctioning. It won't also sense that a passenger is seating in the seat. I am referring to a full grown adult and not a young child, so weight is not an issue and it should sense someone occupying the seat. The airbag will turn off and on while driving with the passenger seat occupied. When this happens, the service airbag system message comes across the dash as well as the red airbag light. This is a very serious safety issue that needs to be looked into. A passenger could get seriously injured or possibly die in the event of an accident, as the airbag won't deploy. First noticed the issue a few months ago and it seems to be happening more frequently.

The passenger airbag sensor was not working correctly. It would sometimes not register if someone was sitting in the seat or not. Then the service airbag light came on and has stayed on. This means that the airbags will not deploy in case of a crash. This is a major safety issue. I looked up to see if there was a recall on it. There isn't an open recall on my particular VIN number but there is on some of the same model. I have seen many complaints from other owners of 2007 chevy equinoxes. I believe this is a manufacturer problem and should have a recall issued for it. The repair cost is about $1000.

I don't know if it's a takata inflator, but there was a recall for the 2007 chevy equinox, but, for some reason the recall did not have my wife's car's VIN # regarding this recall. So, her car did not receive a recall notice! What I'm upset about is, that she has low mileage on her car, and had the same problem, just recently, and it's the same model and year, regarding the recall, that did not involve her car! I was told by gm, that because her VIN # was not "in" the recall, that there was nothing that they could do, but if I wanted to, because it's a safety problem, that I could contact you! And "then" if you told them that it was a safety problem, which it is, that you could then, get in touch with gm, and they would take care of it! So, what can be done, this shouldn't be like this!!! Please help us take care of this safety problem on my wife's 2007 chevy equinox if you would please! Regarding the note below, my wife was simply driving, and the air bag light came on, and that was it. When I got in touch with gm, they did tell me that there "was" a recall on this, but because my wife's equinox did not fall into their recall VIN #, that there was nothing that they could do! If it was a different model, year, etc. Then I could understand of course, but not when it's the same car, and model, that they recalled!!! Thank you for your assistance, in any way!

Passenger airbag light shows not on all the time-with or without passenger in seat. Message to service airbags on all the time. Now seatbelt light is flashing even when in use. Service stabiltrack light comes on and off. Reading all the other comments I see this is a common complaint. Recently had my car in to replace fuel pump that was a recall for others but a "special repair" for my car. Told dealer about problems with airbag and stabilitrak and was told it would cost about $150.00 each to do the diagnostic tests. What is it going to take for these problems to become recalls for all the affected cars?

Air bag light is on all of the time. I took it to rk chevy where it was purchased from to have the fuel pump replaced under warranty and they did nothing about air bag light and said do not worry about it.
