Warning Light On Problems of Chevrolet Equinox - part 1

My abs and stabilitrack light would come on intermittently was told it's a bad sensor and replace when possible. On the way to take my kids to school, (no warning lights presented) I was traveling about 25 mph through the neighborhood when approaching a stop sign I depressed my brakes. Immediately the abs and stabilitrack lights came on and the brake pedal would not depress more than 1/2� and made a gear locking sound. I was able to come to a stop using manual downshift and pumping the brakes. When presenting to mechanic, I was advised to attempt to replicate. Read that again. I was advised to attempt to replicate a brake failure.

A semi tire bounced and hit the front of my car and cracked my grill. My hazard lights popped on, my dome lights came on, and seatbelts locked up and car filled with smoke. It took all I had to unbuckle my seatbelt and it locked up. No one was in passengers side and that seat belt locked as well. Service airbag warning light came on and stays on and still the smell of airbags in the car. Now unable to buckle up, and cant reach the pedals because my seat wont move because the seatbelt is locked. On highway, in motion about 62 mph.

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.

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.

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.
