Saftey air bag ...light come on and stays on
I had the problem with the service air bag light coming on and staying on. I had the problem fixed but I see that my vehicle isn't under recall. I had to have the passenger side pretensioners assembly replaced. This light would come on when the car was started and stay on until the car was turned off.
The service air bag light is on and stays on
On 1/2/2021 I was traveling on the highway when I had a front end crash at 60 MPH and none of the air bags deployed causing injury to myself.
Car has had service air bag light on for years prior to being inherited. 4 codes were pulled inlcuding: 1. B0021 passenger seat side air bag deployment loop open. 2. B001b passenger pretensioner deployment loop 2 open. 3. B001b passenger pretensioner deployment loop 2 high resistance 4. B001b passenger pretensioner deployment loop 2 high resistance it appears some 2009 impalas were recalled regarding the side passenger airbag wiring and this one may be related.
This is not the first time this has happened. On the hwy going 60mph, all of a sudden my engine power is reduced and airbag light came on. The next day the air bag light and engine light are both on. Went to my mechanic for an inspection (which I failed due to the airbag) and he informed me to contact the dealership for recall. I did, only to find out the recall is closed and I can't get this fixed unless I come up with a lot of money. I explained I never got anything from the manufacturer about the recall. How can I get my car fixed on a closed recall?
Purchased vehicle and the following day the right front headlight went out and had to be taken in for electrical problem. Later about 4 months after purchase the air bag in the front passenger seat started to make a knocking sound and then stopped. Just recently it began making the knocking sound again when I open my car door, as well as close it. It lasts about 3 minutes and then stops.

This same problem occurred on our previous 2009 chev impala, in that the "service air bag" message started showing on the dic intermittently, then constantly. I am finding multiple cases of chevrolet vehicles doing this on online forums, with high bills from chevy dealers, but the problem is not solved. I am attaching a photo of the damage from hitting a deer that did not deploy airbags on our previous 2009 was totaled. We just purchased another 2009 because we love the design of the car, but after driving 4.5 hours home, the very next day we are seeing the "service air bag" message on this car.

"takata recall". I have had the "service air bag" message along with the red indicator on my instrument panel for a few years. I do not see my vehicle on the recall list. Should I be concerned? Anytime the ignition is turned on.
The service air bag light keeps coming on while we are driving our car. And I'm worried that the air bags will not deploy in a accident, or they may deploy while driving down the road. I don't want to disable the air bags but not knowing why the light for the air bags is coming on. I have looked online to see what I can do about this and I have found out that this is happening a lot on the 2006-2014 impala's. And people have taken there car in to the dealership to get fixed and the dealership can't figure out why this is happening. And they can't seem to fix it. Plus our service our traction control keeps coming on and the dealership can't figure out why this is happening. This seems to be the problem with this car and the dealership can't figure out why this is happening so they can't fix it. So I'm worried that this car isn't safe to drive because the air bags might not deploy in a accident or if they will just deploy driving down the road.
