I start my car and the service lights come on and should shut off when the car is fully started but my "service air bag" light stays on constantly. Also when I have a passenger the passengers air bag stays off.

Occupant air bag sensor come on in fire, now service air bags light is on and there is a burn hole in the passenger front seat ..updated 09-15-14-*bf updated 2/23/2015
The "service airbag" is coming on and the airbag system is shutting off. The dealer says it is an electrical failure to the passenger side control module.
While driving the passenger side air bags turn off even with a passenger in the seat and it deactivates and activates intermittently throughout the course of driving. Dealership unable to duplicate the problem when servicing so I don't know if I actually have air bags when passengers are present. I was told the control module for the air bags may be bad, seems like this is a serious safety issue that somebody should be addressing.
The airbag sensor comes on periodically and says it needs serviced. I never know if my airbag is working or not. It is intermittent. This is an important safety issue.
From about 35000 miles, the air bag light was on from time to time. Under the 3years/36000miles warranty, dealer just rezeroed the passenger presence system. But it can not prevent the air bag light from being on again occasionally. At about 44000 miles, the air bag light was always on. This time the same dealer (jake sweeney chevrolet) asked for a total replacement of the passenger presence module for $632. I think the air bag problem is a common problem for 07 malibu maxx.
Air bag presence module requires replacement estimated cost $582.00. Vehicle mileage 36,522 in/36,524 out from dealership 3/5 august 2010. Airbag goes out of service with passenger in seat and buckled. Warranty 36,000 chevy extended warranty does not cover airbags system. 524 miles out of warranty. Told should have had foresight to tell the part was going to go out prior to warranty expiration like I did for the dash rattles (fixed again on 5 aug 2010). Contact chevy stated via telephone (lee) I would be contacted within 24 hours regarding if they would pay for repair. I have not been contacted directly except for an email from (lady) stating we are forwarding you concern. The dealer (wilkerson chevy, 1301 douglas drive, po box 1088, sanford, nc 27331-1088, (919) 775-3421). I believe the dealer service representative (ms. Shelly nichols) has done everything it can do without chevy's repair authorization. Request your assistance in resolving this repair issue. With this vital part of the safe system out of service it renders the atleast the passenger seat unsafe (1) as a passenger and (2) as an emergency responder potentially the air bag may not deploy in the event of front end collision however , it may arm. There by creating a second hazard.
