9 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2019

I went to work Friday September 27, 2019. Where my car sat for two hours. When I came back out I had a service air bag light on. My car is a 2105, I'm the second owner. It's never been in an accident. I took it to the dealer I had bought it from a year ago. They told me it was a faulty air bag module that needed to be replaced. Luckily it didn't take an accident for faulting in severe injury, before I had known what was going on. I called gm hoping to get some answers. Only to be told there was nothing they could do to help me. From reading online I've seen a lot of people have this issue. I just pray something can be fixed before someone gets seriously injured. This is a serious safety issue. We don't pay thousands of dollars for a car, to have things go seriously wrong with them. I understand things get wore out and need replaced, but coming from a company who states safety is a priority, I don't feel an air bag module should be going out after only 4 years.

12 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2019

Drove my Malibu to see a show and parked in the garage. After the show, when turned on the ignition had a service airbag light. Took it to the gm dealer who diagnosed the problem and said had to replace the air bag sdm electrical module with a total price estimate of almost $1,000 cad !!! I have had this vehicle since December 2014 and have driven it to florida every winter since. It only has 82,500 km on it. I believe this is a premature failure and is a safety issue. Should be the same as the new car emissions warranty where emission components are covered much longer than new car warranty.
