4 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2014

Beginning last year the passenger airbag indicator began to not work properly. I had the service codes checked and there was no code for the repeated warning light to service air bag. Now the problem has become worse. When passengers of any weight are in the seat the indicator and service lights will come on randomly. Most time my family is not protected by the airbag due to this issue. It appears the same issue happend to the previous model year and a recall was done. Not for this model. This needs to be investigated and a solution created by chevorlet.

Driving down the interstate and warning light came on that passenger airbag was not on which was odd since my 250 lb husband was in the seat. Never has worked right since.
