Air bag light comes on. While driving the air bag light keep coming on and then going off. I took it to a Chevrolet dealership repair service to find out what was the problem as the service advisor stated that the impact sensor was inop and that the air bags would not deploy . I had it repaired that day. However, the dealership stated that there were no recalls at this time on that problem and I should call chevy and see if they would cover the repair. I talked to chevy customer assist ( tina ) and she stated she would be in contact with us after she called the dealership. This was on the 08 Jan 2010. On 13jan2010 the call was returned and tina stated " that chevy would not cover the repair". Also that the dealership would not cover the repair because this was the first time I have had my car repaired at the center and no proof of any service being do to it. I deal with goodyear for my repairs brakes,tires,batts, as well as oil changes ever 3000 miles. I don't understand what my serving my car has to do with a safety problem. I would not take a problem like that to goodyear but to a service center that could handle that type of problem better. I believe that this is a big safety problem. I think a recall review should be started before injuries or death results from this impact sensor.
