I place my purse on passenger front seat and the airbag light goes on and beeps while I am driving
The service airbag light keeps coming on. There's a frayed wire under the seat and chevrolet is trying to charge $380 to fix the problem. Chevrolet really should open a recall for this issue because it is so common.
Got into a collision a few months back with side and front damage. Took to be repaired, after car got out of shop, air bag light came on and wont go off and it says "service air bag system". Body shop was notified and nothing was done.

For some reason throughout the last year my air bag light will stay on for quite awhile then go off and come back on at another time! I noticed there was a recall on air bags and even though it doesn't show a recall for my car I feel there is an issue with my air bags!

- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured April 25, 2008 through February 16, 2010. The front passenger seat frame may contact and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor module.
- Risk
- If the wires are damaged, the passenger presence sensory system may fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied, disabling the air bag. Damage may also cause the air bag fuse to short resulting in a loss of all air bags and seat belt pretensions. Both conditions increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will double wrap the wires with anti-abrasion tape and replace damaged wires as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 1, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1‑800‑521‑7300. GM's recall campaign number is 36110.
