Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Passenger side airbag is not working. With all the faulty air bag recalls--why isn't mine being recalled? gm wants $700 to repair it, and the car is only 3 years old.

The contact wanted owns a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that the front passenger side air bag sensor malfunctioned. The front passenger side air bag would not identify a passenger sitting in the passenger seat and the air bag would not activate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the front passenger seat cover was removed and the sensor was replaced. The failure continued. The manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no other remedies for the failure. The failure mileage was 2,600. Updated 02/15/lj update 03/16/12.

My complaint is the side airbag. My 12 year daughter and myself were in a t-bone type accident when another car ran a stop sign. $9000. 00 damage to my 2011 Cruze and the airbags did not deploy on the side. She was injured in the accident I feel due to the airbags not deploying. I have called gm and the will investigate but act as if its no big deal. . . It is a big deal.
