Air bag light is activated. I have had my 2000 tahoe ls in for service to correct this problem once already, but after about 2 months the light is back on. I felt I needed to file this report because of several articles I have read on this subject. I have read everything from air bags will not deploy, to air bags will deploy for no reason at all,both of which should be considered unacceptable and dangerous.

I took my truck to island chevrolet for the antilock recall and I mentioned about the recall for the air bags on the chevrolet tahoe 2000 because my air bag light has been on. I was told my 2000 tahoe is not on the recall because it was the model made later in the year. But when they put the truck on the diagnostic they found it had right & left side deployment loop resistance low. They were going to charge me $800.00 and since I had to fix my 4 wheel drive also I could not afford it. But it seems to me that the recall should be extended to the later models of 2000 also. I know of a couple of people that also have this problem and they also have the later 2000 model.

August 2003 airbag sensor light came on. We were told that ifthis sensor came on, there was a problem with the airbag system and that none of the airbags would deploy. In researching the problem, we found that 525,254 chevy tahoe ls, year 2000 were recalled for defective sensors(sensing diagnostic module) and/or airbag problems. During a routine oil change a diagnostic scan was run on the vehicle. We were then told to bring the vehicle into a dealer for possible warranty work. Eisinger motors, 1000 west idaho, kalispell mt 406‑755‑5555 told us that we would be responsible for paying for the repair costs. Since the vehicle was on the recall list (actually there are 5 the federal safety agency recalls on the chevy 2000 tahoe ls), are we actually responsible for repair costs?
