Air bag light indicated needs service. 3rd visit to dealer for same repair problem.
The city are working on the road and the pavement had a big dip in it and the car bottom out ,and than the air bag lite came on and says its the passage side. I took it to a chevy service center for repairs and they said the pps module went bad ,the dealer said no recall on it .I think this is not safe or fair .cost to fix $848.00.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the service air bag warning light illuminated momentarily. The vehicle was not taken to dealer or a repair shop for diagnostic testing. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number: 08v517000 (air bags:frontal) and contacted the manufacturer who advised that the VIN was not included in the recall. The approximate failure and current mileage was 60,000.
Both my husband and myself have 2009 impalas. They both have issues with the airbag lights coming on and off. Has anyone else experienced problems?
Car stalled on the interstate. Merged car to break down lane without being hit. Traction control light illuminated. Car would not restart for about 20 minutes. Car then restarted and warning light was off. Previous electrical issues with this vehicle including rear windows that will not roll down and defective air bag sensor.
The air bag light illuminated . We took the vehicle to gmc -buick dealer who said there was a problem with seatbelt anchor assembly and has had a recall. They said the car had been in for the recall id # 89931 and had been checked. We did not own the vehicle at that time. We bought the vehicle on 8/ 31/11 from a different dealership. We had owned the vehicle only 6 weeks when the problem arose. We don't know if problem was ever solved or if the trouble was just cleared. The light was off when we left the dealership this time. We believe if problem was properly repaired on the recall there would not be a problem at this time. This dealer (young- buick gmc) of owosso, mi said the cost of the repair is $190.79. We don't think that we should have to pay for this repair because it was a recall and the problem still exist. Evidently the problem still exists it must of not been fixed properly.
Service air bag light has come on multiple times. Taken into dealer each time, which found the following codes, b001a, b0014, b0020. Dealer found and repaired the following, cpa connector to not be properly installed - r&r connector and installed properly, cpa connector under seat to be out of place - r&r connector and properly installed, found loose cpa connector on pass side seat belt pretensioner - r&r connector and add dielectric, reinstall connector and cpa properly, found program update for related complaint, performed program update on sdm and reset. When speaking to service manager, he said that there maybe a corrosion issue with the connectors within the air bag wiring system.

We purchased a 2009 chevy impala in april . My wife has a tail bone medical issue that necessitates that she sit on a special pillow while riding in a vehicle. The seat displaces her weight evenly across the seat. The problem is that the air bag sensor on the passenger compartment doesn't recognize her weight sitting on the seat, so the passenger side air bag doesn't show it is operative. We returned to the dealer who told us to set a magazine underneath her to make the sensor work. It does activate the passenger air bag "on" button sometimes, however, the majority of the time it will not activate and my wife is not protected. I called general motors and they didn't have any solution to this safety issue, except to tell me that my wife should ride in the back seat! The dealership has no further answers for us. We are extremely frustrated that my wife is riding in a brand new vehicle unprotected by her airbag nearly all the time. Can you please investigate? Thank you!
