The replacement sensor which is supposed to correct my problem, the message service airbag comes up on the dash beneath the steering wheel and the passenger airbag light indicates the air bag is off even with the passenger sitting in the seat, will cost me $992.50 to fix, just for a censor this seems more like a computer, not an itty bitty sensor. Sounds like an engineering design over-kill, $992.50 really, this is unreal for a sensor!!!! Something is wrong here. It only takes 8/10ths of an hour to fix it. That is why I call it an engineering design over-kill!!! I can see a computer costing $992.50 to fix, but not a censor which only takes 8/10ths of an hour to fix.

On a 2006 chevy impala, the air bag indicator light on dashboard came on and remained on. Car was taken to chevrolet dealer who said it would be quite expensive to repair, so letting it go. Research on the internet reveals this problem. Also saw a technical service bulletin related to codes relating to air bag light remaining on. Danger here is that this should be fixed by chevrolet with a recall, but no recall as of yet. This defect should be fixed by chevrolet. Someone is going to die because of this issue not being recalled by chevrolet.

Air bag service light came on dashboard of 2006 chevrolet impala. In addition to the red warning light indicating the air bag problem, message appears in message center on dashboard, saying to service air bag. My complaint is that the dealership says it might be close to $1000 to fix, yet airbags are supposed to last the life of a car. Yet, it will pass inspection if I chose to not get it looked at. I see hundreds of other cases where gm cars have the service air bag light on, and it should be covered by warranty or a recall to get this issue fixed. People are jeopardizing their safety, driving around with an air bag that may or may not work. It is not acceptable.
