I took my car in for the last recall for the passanger air bag sensor it did not turn the light off and the dealer says ther is a differant issue with it and that's why the airbag light is on. I couldn't tell you what they did as far as taping the wires or replacing the sensor. But I feel like they did nothing now they tell me the part is 433.00 and labor and programing is almost 1000.00. I see many cars have this same issue with the passanger presence sensor module. The airbag light on keeps me from getting the car inspected. Basically if you sit in my passanger side front seat it can't recognize anyone sitting there. Any help would be welcome on this situation.
2009 Chevrolet Impala airbags complaints

While driving on a street, the airbag service light illuminated and warning indicator for the red airbag sign displayed. Checked all connections and drove it to the dealership. They said they fixed the problem but they did not.
My impala has had airbag issues since 2016 display panel constantly says to service air bag especially when someone sits in the passenger seat. I received the airbag recall notice back in 2016 and took the car to the dealer. They rewrapped the wires under passenger seat and system was ok for around 6 months then it started doing the same things with same issue. Stating to service air bag and when in passenger seat is the only time it says this and it also displays that the passenger air bag is off.
The car started to state the airbag needed servicing. I looked up the issue online and saw the recall for my make and model. Recall number 273230. The federal safety agency number is 16v507000. Separately, the steering wheel is incredibly stiff when starting the car, and while making turns. Need both arms to force the car to turn. There is no issue with power steering fluid. The steering loosens a small amount when applying pressure on the gas.
My airbag light keeps coming on and off, I owned another 2009 chevy impala that I had a recall on but when I type in this one it doesn't come up. But the airbag light does keep coming on and off.
For over a year now, an airbag red light comes on sporadically along with a beeping noise. I can't afford the hundreds of dollars the local dealership requires to check it out to see if it is the drivers side or passenger air bag. I just want to know if it imposes any danger. They say it may me just a faulty system and that it doesn't necessarily mean that the airbag wouldn't deploy in an emergency. But they have to take the whole front side out to check. The labor time is quite price. Also, when using my remote, the door locks stay locked off and on. No rhyme of reason. It has been going on for over a year; but your form here makes me put just one date down in order to proceed.
Door locks work intermittently with remote, especially over 75 degrees. Usually driver door lock but can be any. All still work manually. This can be very dangerous because handicapped people are often in this vehicle and can't get out on their own. Also intermittently dependent on how hot it is the service passenger airbag light comes on but often disappears. This started soon after the so called airbag recall was done.

Service airbag light had been coming on intermittently for a few months noticed it happened when it was cold and or when making left turns until it came on indefinitely recall after recall I hoped should resolve every time they say it has nothing to do with recall at time of service/recall correction.

This recall for passenger presence system harness was replaced in 2016 and replaced with another defective part still showing the airbag recall light no dealer will fix this defective recall replacement and general motors keeps saying I have to pay for it. Only 600 miles have been placed on the car since the replacement and no one will respond. The car is unsafe to drive. My mother owned the car and it was transferred to me.
Airbag light is on paid to get it fixed and it's still on afraid to drive it if I get into an accident it will probably not deploy the electrical system doesn't work my brake lights don't work to fix them and get new balls it's all electrical I seen there's a recall but I bought the car after the recall so I had no idea there was a recall for the electrical system wiring and the electrical system ignition my key gets stuck in the ignition and I have to push a button in the back in order for it to release
Possible takata airbag recall ? The dash displays 'check airbags' every time the vehicle is in use, stationary or driving, stays continuously lit. This airbag display and symbol never goes off. Airbag symbol stays on continuously on dash also. Very concerned about my family and my own safety while operating this vehicle.

General motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2009 ' 2010 chevrolet impala vehicles. The front passenger seat frame in these vehicles may rub against and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor (pps) module, which could cause the pps system to fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied and improperly suppress the front passenger airbag. In addition, the cluster gauges and driver information center (dic) alerts may intermittently turn off or not function properly. In rare circumstances, the damage to the pps module could cause the airbag fuse to short, resulting in the loss of all airbags and seat belt pretensioners. General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2005-2009 model year (my) buick lacrosse, 2006-2011 my buick lucerne, 2000-2005 my cadillac deville, 2007-2011 my cadillac dts, 2006-2014 my chevrolet impala and 2006-2007 my chevrolet monte carlo vehicles. If the key ring is carrying added weight and the vehicle goes off road or experiences some other jarring event, it may unintentionally move the key away from the "run" position.
While driving on the interstate at 70mph, air bag light, engine light as well as traction control light came on. Felt as if brakes were on. Dash read "service traction control" & "engine speed reduced". 140,000 miles
I have problem with air bag , air bag light pop up by it self and close by it self. It's not working properly.
Service airbag light comes on intermittently and then goes off. I took it took the dealership and they couldn't replicate it. This has has more than one time. I'm concerned that this can cause an issue during a front end collision. Multiple chevrolet impala owners have the same issue and gm won't stand behind this. Same for the power door locks, driver door doesn't always open. Same issue and since they can't replicate it, they say keep an eye on it. Concerned if the door won't unlock sometimes. Air pressure monitoring system & stability trak monitors also seem to have issues. The sensors on the car constantly go off and my vehicle has less than 65,000 miles on a 9 year old car. Concerned when driving it if it's just a sensor issue or a real problem that can cause a safety concerned when driving and chevrolet doesn't want to do anything concerning the issue. I've already paid 645.00 for the actuator, 345.00 for the tire monitoring system and I keep getting told keep an eye on the service airbag issue cause they can't replicate it.
Service air bag . How do you do it?
For the last year or so I have dealt with several issues that started happening all of a sudden and all at once. For starters, my air bag indicator come on and off when I drive at any speed. An independent mechanic could not diagnose it and the dealership attempted to diagnose it and all he said was I needed to replace my air bags which would have cost roughly $3400.00. In addition to that, my ABS indicator began going on and off and has caused my car to feel as if it was on a hydroplane mode. When it turns on it occasionally makes my car jerk on the road. I went to an auto supply store for diagnosis and was told there was no reading so nothing was wrong, dealership said the same. The light shut off and it was like deja vu all over again. Also, I have had to replace the door actuators at least one to two times a year because they continue to break. Finally, my new batteries the last few of years have been completely drained for no apparent reason and I had to replace it several times due to damaged batteries even though I replace it with brand new car batteries.

2009 chevrolet impala. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle dashboard passenger air bag warning light blinking, smoke and odors of electrical wire burning. *smd the consumer stated that a buzzing noise was heard in the area of the airbag 4 months after the vehicle was purchased. The airbag light illuminated. More recently, the dash began smoking. The manufacturer was notified and offered to pay a portion of the repair. The consumer declined due to not being able to afford the remaining cost of the repairs. Updated 10/10/2017
Autonation along with gm communicated with my mechanic and myself and told me that my car repairs would be completed and paid for by gm as part of recall work and subsequent damage from the recall work not being performed before additional damage could occur. We were even told that our rental car would be paid for but once they towed the car from our mechanic to their shop, they told us that we would have to pay for that, although didn't communicate that to us until over a month had gone by. Subsequently, autonation towed my car back to my mechanic but with even more damage than they themselves stated had been the situation with my car. Their own mechanic stated both verbally and in writing (in the work order) that the recalled wires shorted causing the damage to my car. No one will tell us why that changed once our car was towed to them as we would never have towed it to them if that would have been the case. Additionally, no one has told us why or who the someone is who disagreed with their own mechanic (and 3 additional mechanics subsequently) and made the determination that we would have to pay for the short and related damages. I do have the gm document safety recall report associated with this recall that outlines what happened to our call will happen to 1 percent of the cars manufactured during the timeframe my car was manufactured as well as the work order from autonation clearly stating a short caused damage to my vehicle
