I keep getting a message that says service air bag. My local dealer says that they have a service bulletin that says there is a faulty sensor & the fix is to have their electrician hard wire the problem. ($550. 00 my cost) I asked what if not fixed, said that front collision the airbag would not deploy. To me this is a huge safety issue & should not be my problem to repair.

We have a very serious concern about our vehicle. We were involved in a car accident on Friday, July 28, 2018. A car ran right into our rear without stopping at about 45 mph. We were very surprised our airbags did not deploy upon impact. We smelled the smoke usually involved with the airbags being deployed but nothing happened other than a notification to service the airbags which did not exist prior to this incident. Luckily, we had our seatbelts on but still suffered neck and back pain which will be further evaluated by a doctor. We believe our airbags were defective and are gravely upset at this occurrence.

Airbag light on passenger side indicates airbag will not deploy. Vehicle has been brought in to several different dealerships to be evaluated, each claiming a different code has been activated, however no fix has been permanent. Vehicle had previous recall (2011) on airbag sensor - fix was not permanent. Most recent time, dealership claims a sensor in the seat is bad and will require $1200 fix due to its location in the seat??? codes b0074 & b0081 (internal fault in passenger presence module) there is not a time that the airbag engages - still or moving. This has been an issue while was still in warranty and beyond warranty - gm refuses to work with me.

On passenger side, air bag sensor does not detect a passenger sitting in the seat so indicator light always says "off" and will turn on sometimes, but most times not turn on at all. We were concerned that in a crash, the passenger air bag would not deploy as it thinks no one is seated there. We took the car to berglund Chevrolet for repair. They had to replace the sensor and passenger side seat cushion to resolve the problem and it cost in excess of $700. This should have been a recall as I have read on this website that others had similar problems with their airbag. This is a follow up to our earlier complaint @10583156.

The "service air bag" light consistently comes on and the dealer states there is nothing to worry about as far as the functioning of the airbags when we were under the bumper to bumper warranty. But, now that I have 108k and still dealing with this issue, along with the recall notices for "some" 2008-2009 and all of 2010-2013 Enclaves I requested the dealer take another look at the sensor issue. Now, the dealer states that yes there is an issue with the air bag sensor and my air bags will not deploy properly in an accident but that the issue is not what is covered under the current warranty out for the Enclaves based on my VIN number. Either the warranty should cover the cost of repair or the dealer should replace the part that should have been replaced under the bumper to bumper warranty.
