I noticed an air bag light that appears on the cluster of my 2012 Chevrolet Malibu upon starting the car. It's not clear why this air bag light comes on, so I contacted gm and they claim they do not have any information on it. Although my vehicle's warranty is no longer valid since it is more than 5 years, but the vehicle has very low miles (about 22k) and I believe gm should pay for the services for this issue to be diagnosed since it is safety related but they refused to pay for any services. I plan to take the vehicle to the dealer but I have no idea the extent of how serious the issue is, or how much it will cost for the repairs.
