Air Bag On-off Switch problems of the 2009 Chevrolet HHR

Airbag sensor light to have airbag service has been on for sometime. The service department has been asked about this on multiple occasions. The last answer we received is that the airbag is only under warranty for two years but previous to this we were told that the service department does not even know what this means. My service department at gadsden Chevrolet has not even fixed the switch recall yet. They were supposed to call when they got the part in. Even though my husband has called multiple times they still have not called. There is another issue for which they have offered for us to just pay half and they know they are suppose to fix them both at the same time. My car has been in the shop multiple times and yet they still never fixed the previous recall & now this airbag thing has come up.

Service air bag- this message comes up a lot when car is started. It is coming up more often now though. This vehicle has not been in an accident. I have seen on line that other gm vehicles are being recalled for this problem. Talked to my chevy deaer about this and he said that there is no recall and it is our issue. Our Hhr has been recalled for ignition switch and a power steering issue so far. I feel that the service air bag light is just another gm problem. With this warning light on, I do not know if our air bags will deploy. Are our lives in jeopardy?.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Hhr. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled several times intermittently.

August of 2010 1st indication of a problem with the airbag occurred. Chevrolet dealer repaired under warranty. 2nd incident occurred in earlier 2013 when service airbag light came on. This service airbag would stay on for a day or two, then go out. Several months later it would come on again, then go out. In may of this year the service airbag light came and stayed on. On June 2nd of the year, 2014, I took it to the Chevrolet dealer. They advised the airbag "shorted" and would have to be replaced @ $1200. 00+. I purchased this vehicle new, and have had at least 3 electrical problems under warranty. Due to the electrical problems, ignition switch, battery failure I feel this lead to the failure of the airbag.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Hhr. Two weeks after the vehicle was purchased, the dealer installed heated seats. Afterwards, the passenger side air bags stopped working. The heated seats are draining the battery in the vehicle. Each time the vehicle is driven, it fails to start due to the drained battery. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer in order to be restarted. He took the vehicle to another dealer and they stated that a switch underneath the seats needed to be replaced. The contact was advised to take the vehicle back to the original dealer for them to redo the installation. The failure mileage was 620. Oil leak onto the coolant reservoir. The dealer found the brake fluid cap was not sealed properly. The heated seats that were I installed were connected to the battery which was causing the battery to die. Updated 03/19/09.
