The computer that is in my car is new for this model, and this year. No other car has it in there. What is happening is that while driving down the road, the computer gets overloaded with information, and pukes with a b0100 error. The dealership tried the other 2001. It had the same problem. They tried three other 2001's that the southern dealership owned. They had the same problem. There are other dealerships also having this same problem with the 2001 chevrolet impala airbags.
