Warning Light On problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox

My airbag warning light keeps coming on and staying on 90% of the time and when I have passenger the passenger airbag doesn't turn on.

The front seat passenger air bag will not come on when someone sits in the seat. I get a service air bag system on the driver info center. Took to dealer was told computer shows codes b0081 and b0074. Was told passenger presence system, namely the seat sensor was bad and needed to be replaced. Repair estimated at $1100. 00. This is a common complaint in gm vehicles. The vehicle is designed to have the airbag deploy during a collision considering the use of safety belts and deformation of the vehicle's structure. Service air bag system warning light comes on and stays on when ever the ignition is turned to the on position. It does not matter if anyone or anything is in/on the seat, or if vehicle is standing still or in motion.

On 9/22/08 we took our vehicle to gregg young chevy in omaha ne with complaint of the passenger air bag did not register passenger. The could not duplicate and nothing was done. Again on 4/10/10 we took the vehicle in again with same complaint. We were told again could not duplicate at this time, no problem found scanned, no codes. No bulletins found, system working as designed. Then again 9/28/11 we took it in again and complained the service air bag light is on intermittently. They replaced the pps module. We had to pay labor and factory warranty deductible. I see by you recall page there was a recall #07v344000 on the passenger sensor and or calibration. If there was a recall why were we charged to replace a default by the maker? now here we are in Dec 2016 and now we are having the same problem again. The air bag does not always register a passenger and if it does, it goes back and for stating air bag on and air bag off and the dash warning light to service air bag goes on and off and then we get a read out on the dash stating to service air bag. Same problem yet again. How may times can the sensor or calibration go wrong. We called gregg young and they want $130 just to look at the problem. What are our options? I don't feel this is a wear and tear problem and we paid for it once already and feel we should not have based on the recall listed. Any information you could provide would be helpful. Thank you for considering our safety a priority.

Warning light to service air bag has come on and never turns off. I have taken car in to have this checked and technicians cannot find the problem or fix it. Not sure if air bags will function on impact.
