I have a 2003 chevy silverado pickup with 71937 miles today just driving down the road on the dic display it put a message out of service air bags and red light is on dash also. I called the chevy dealer where I bought it and they told me it is out of warranty and I would have to pay for repairs and OH he said the air bags would not work until it was repaired. All the forums I have read so far say that the problem after they have it repaired still comes back. Is this not a safety issue that should be covered by gm ?.
