In October 2015, I received a notice from gm indicating a fault with the airbags. The letter indicated that they would cover the repairs if the years had not exceeded 10 past manufacture, which, on a 2004 model this was already a disqualifier. They also indicated not in excess of 120k miles, again a disqualifier on my vehicle with 150k miles. Additionally, when I showed the letter to the local dealer, and they ran a vehicle report, the recall was not shown. For all intent then, gm is disregarding the faulty airbags on my vehicle. It is my understanding that when the indicator is on, the airbags are not functioning. I would think that an airbag issue, with a known cause by the manufacturer, should be a lifetime recall. I am the original owner of the truck. Originally, this was an intermittent problem when using the left rear door, but it is no longer so. I am submitting this report today, as I am concerned that this long standing issue will never be satisfied by gm.
While in parked or in motion, the air bag indicator lamp stays lit. I took it to two separate repair shops and they were unable to correct the problem. One shop removed the front passenger seat to check for faulty wires or connections and found none. I was advised to take my 2004 Chevrolet Colorado double cab truck back to the dealership where I purchased it, to have diagnosed & repaired. The problem still exist as of today.
Wires to the airbag wiring harness are broken in rear drive rside passenger door. Resulting in airbag light to come on.
