Airbag warning light on - took to mechanic yesterday and they found the following "b0074 & b0081 set. Diagnosed and found passenger presence module internally failed". They told me it's a 800+ repair. Called dealer priority cheverolet in chesapeake virginia and they said to check connections below seat as they sometimes come loose. As an engineer I find it hard to believe that such a vital life saving device would have such an easy single point failure to be so easy to come loose as by simple moving the seat. When you observe the switch module below the seat it is just there dangling! this needs to get rolled up as a recall.
While I was driving the light on my dash told me to check air bags. It would nutmeg off. I took it to rydell Chevrolet and they told me that the "switch" was not working and my air bags were inoperable. They also told me that the repair was not covered and would cost me over $900. 00. In was furious and spoke to Chevrolet customer service . They told me that they would talk to the dealer. They gave me $70. 00 off. I will never purchase another gm product again. I still think that they should have fixed it at no charge because of the mileage on the SUV.
