Check air bag light is on for 5 years now. I contacted general motors when it happened but they said it was not their problem, take it to a dealer. This just came on without any incident at all. Otherwise everything else is okay. Gmc refuses to help in any way.
From the beginning upon purchasing this vehicle we found the passenger sensor not functioning properly, duplessis gmc in gonzales, la could not locate the problem so after many efforts with them we got a local shop to install the new sensor that we purchased from duplessis. We are looking for compensation for that device and the labor to install it. This was an intermittent problem but never went away until we had this work done. I have records to prove this was done

Don't know if this is related to takata recall or not. I want to know how safe am I driving a 9 year old car with no air bags working. Cannot get it fixed because dealers say they cannot get the part from gm. Meanwhile I feel I am driving an unsafe car with the airbag light on and a message stating check airbag settings. I assume this will not go away until the problem is fixed. I just have to hope that I don't have a serious accident.
