2 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2018

I first received recall information in the mail pertaining to the airbags on my vehicle at the end of 2017. Around the same time the service airbag light on my dashboard appeared and has remained displayed since. I have periodically checked whether a remedy to the recall has been established, but to date there has not been one. I am now seeing commercials for attorney services regarding injuries due to defective airbags in vehicles in my make, model, and year. Seeing as my service airbag light is already lit up, I would like to avoid an injury to myself or a passenger in my vehicle.

9 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2016

Airbag light on airbags disabled safety concern vehicle is not as potentially as safe as it was designed to be. The sdm (airbag module) has water intrusion and caused corrosion inside the sdm and caused the circuit board to burn out no fuses were blown which is a concern as well because the board had burn components from the water intrusion. Gm had a previous recall on this problem it appears this vehicle had the recall as it had the jute from the carpet removed from this area above the sdm this recall was purposively a canada recall 09270c - material over sensing and diagnostic module I talked to gm about this they will do nothing for this even though they know of a problem this is a real safety concern not only for the airbag but for the module burning up the circuit board as well potential fire in the vehicle I would like it fixed by the manufacture.
