Air Bag Light On Problems of Buick Enclave - part 2

While driving I noticed the passenger airbag light would come on and off. Now it stays on all the time. I took it in and found out that the passenger presence module needs to be replace at a cost to me of $900. 00. I see that this is an ongoing problem many people have with this car. How is this not a recall?.

I have a 2008 Buick Enclave and the air bag light came on. I took it to a mechanic to check it out but he said its a recall so I took it to Buick dealer to get it fixed. First of all they weren't very welcoming but long story short they said that its not a recall I have to purchase the entire module which will cost $1500 to get it fixed. I am very confused. They said the recall is for passenger side pressure sensor and they are having me replace the entire passenger side airbag module.

The passenger airbag light always says off and the service air bag notice is always on. We took the car in to a dealer several years ago and were told it is not covered under the airbag recall. This is hard to believe; the vehicle has never been in an accident. Gm should not risk an important safety issue defect to go ignored.

I purchased my vehicle January 2014. Since then I have had major issues with it leaking when it rains,. Water enters the sunroof and drips throughout the vehicles overhead as well as soaks the passenger side carpet. Water drips from the visor, the overhead lights (which could result in an electrical fire) in the front middle and back of the vehicle it seeps through the seat belt height adjusters and the area where the side airbags deploy (which could cause deploy issues). The problem has gotten so bad my vehicle is starting to smell like mold and I am afraid that after a year of this problem mold has grown under the carpet as well as in the overhead foam. My biggest concern is if my child is exposed to this for an extended period of time it will flair up his asthma. A child with asthma is very sensitive to mold and mildew and he is very sensitive as well as has allergies to mold. Additionally, when it rains my exhaust smokes and car putts as if water has gotten into the engine/exhaust, the check engine light has come on several times while traveling and no one can seem to find the issue, the check airbag light came on a couple of months after the purchase, and my steering wheel tightens up when I turn and I have already had that taken care of once. As I was driving home today the emergency brake light came on and dinged all the way home. I believe there are now electrical issues with the vehicle due to the leaks and may cause a malfunction or fire.
