A month ago my vehicle had a dash board light come on intermittently. It is the air bag light. During this period I took the vehicle to my mechanic, he placed it on the diagnostic and found nothing wrong at a cost of just under $100. The light has continued to come on and the vehicle has stalled twice during this time. I have searched the internet for recall notices for the dealership and have not had any success. I believe this could escalate into an accident, and I certainly cannot afford to have the vehicle at the mechanics or the dealership for days on end while they have no idea what the problem is. Chevrolet should take the vehicle in, give me a vehicle to drive until they solve the problem.
