The passenger airbag light started coming on and going off intermittently. After several weeks of this, it was on every time the car is driven. Testing by an ase certified mechanic revealed that the permanent light results in no front seat airbags. The failed part is the seat presence sensor. The part is - and hasn't been for quite a while - manufactured by gm. Aftermarket parts are costly and the installation cost is in the hundreds of dollars. Research indicates that this is a well-known and long reported issue. Why not a recall years ago? other than brakes and steering, could there be any more unsafe components than those affecting airbags? the only remedy other than continuously replacing the faulty part, is a bypass module. If it functions correctly, the airbag will deploy regardless of passenger weight. This puts any child or underweight rider in danger. And, of course, considering the expense, many owners will do nothing with possibly grave consequences. I think you "dropped the ball" big time on this one!.
The air bag light on the dashboard is on all the time. It is available for inspection at any time. I do not know if the bag will go off at any time or does it mean that it won't go off on impact. I am nervous about having someone for a passenger. I have informed the dealership of the problem and they did confirmed the problem, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer or others. The light came on the day after I bought the car from the dealership and it has been on every cents.
Passenger airbag intermittently turns on and off when passenger is seated.
The passenger air bag will display an off indication many times when the seat is occupied. I would guess about 50 percent of the time. This condition happens off and on, doesn't matter if the car is moving or stopped or type of road. Below ask when this condition happened. It happens anytime we drive the car, not a specific date.
