1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2017

Indicator came on to recommend maintenance on airbag, took to dealership and was told there was recall back in 2014 but because mines was not recalled it may have been due to where it was manufactured. According to them in order to fix what is triggering the indicator will cost around 700. 00 including parts for a next part and labor. I don't think I should have to be dealing with airbag issues on a vehicle of this age especially since I have a warranty that just so happens not to cover this part. When I called the warranty company they did stay they covered anything dealing with the computer which I thought this did.

3 Air Bag Light On problem

Takata possible. I'm new to this but I see recalls on my car and my air bag light is on for no reason and dealership tells me no recall. I am not sure what to do. As I put my VIN in and it does show air bag recall musson patout dealerships says no and wants me to pay. Is there any help. Just came on service air bag driving no special reason.

4 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2014

While driving my vehicle down a straight road, the air bag curtains on both sides of the vehicle spontaneously deployed. I was not in a car accident, I was not turning any corners, I did not hit a bump, nothing. I was only driving down a straight road. I had the car towed to the place of purchase (john l sullivan in roseville, CA) because it is still under warranty. When the service tech calls me back, they advise that they are getting codes from the black box that the car has been tampered with and/or has had third party parts installed. This is a bunch of crap because I did not have anything installed other than the lojack that they installed for me and the replacement of a part (I'm not sure what it was) that was causing my check engine light to come on even though I only had the car for 3 weeks, which once again they also installed. When I took the car to them on 4/18/14 for an oil change, I let the service tech know that my service airbag light was on and he advised that I will need to make an appointment to come back another day because it takes 2-3 hours just for them to diagnose the cause but that its probably just a bad sensor (basically blowing it off like it was no big deal). So I said ok and kept driving it with the service airbag light on because he made it seem like it was no big deal. I also do not live near the dealership and use this car to get to and from work everyday so I was also waiting for a convenient time for me to be able to take and leave the car with them for an extended period of time. I am now being told that I need to go through my insurance to get the repairs paid for. This is wrong! john l sullivan and/or gm is responsible for this and need to cover the repairs under my warranty or they need to give me a new car. I am also experiencing chest pain caused from the incident and will be going to the doctors to have it looked at today.
