Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe

I took my truck to island Chevrolet for the antilock recall and I mentioned about the recall for the air bags on the Chevrolet Tahoe 2000 because my air bag light has been on. I was told my 2000 Tahoe is not on the recall because it was the model made later in the year. But when they put the truck on the diagnostic they found it had right & left side deployment loop resistance low. They were going to charge me $800. 00 and since I had to fix my 4 wheel drive also I could not afford it. But it seems to me that the recall should be extended to the later models of 2000 also. I know of a couple of people that also have this problem and they also have the later 2000 model.

August 2003 airbag sensor light came on. We were told that ifthis sensor came on, there was a problem with the airbag system and that none of the airbags would deploy. In researching the problem, we found that 525,254 chevy Tahoe LS, year 2000 were recalled for defective sensors(sensing diagnostic module) and/or airbag problems. During a routine oil change a diagnostic scan was run on the vehicle. We were then told to bring the vehicle into a dealer for possible warranty work. Eisinger motors, 1000 west idaho, kalispell mt 406-755-5555 told us that we would be responsible for paying for the repair costs. Since the vehicle was on the recall list (actually there are 5 NHTSA recalls on the chevy 2000 Tahoe LS), are we actually responsible for repair costs? NHTSA states that dealers will recalibrate the sdm on the affected vehicles andthat owners who do not receive the free remedy should contact Chevrolet or GMC. If the airbag deployment system is not immediately attended to, the driver and or passengers could receive severe injuries.
