1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2016

Since 2010, my airbag light has come on 5 times. 3 out of the 5 times, I have had to replace a sensor which typically costs approx $400-450. The other two times, the dealership was able to reset. I am now in the position of having to spend another $450 for another new sensor in order to turn off the airbag light or else I cannot pass inspection. I have asked for assistance from gm and the dealership. But, because the light comes on just after one year of replacing a sensor, the work is no longer under dealership warranty. I have filed a case with gm asking for assistance so that I can get the car inspected and continue driving the car. They have said that they cannot assist. They have left me with very few options. I can pay another $450 in order for my car to be inspected, or not drive the car again. The air bag is an important safety feature. Based on all of the other complaints online, this problem is recurring and appears to be a manufacturer's defect. The disturbing thing about this issue is that I am not sure if the airbag actually is in working order.

3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2010

Srs: service air bag light on; srs scanner gave codes b0026; b0043; b0044; b0084; b0100; and b0104. Found technical service bulletins possibly related to my specific vehicle (TSB#050941001; NHTSA#10013456) and (TSB#pit-4662; NHTSA#10026744). Called GMC service center; they claimed unable to assist. Suggested taking it to local GMC dealer to run codes at my expense. And then, possibly, depending on results/diagnosis, GMC "may" be able to offer monetary assistance for repairs. So, first have to find the time and the money to take it in. Meanwhile, told rep I would probably just disable the srs. The light is annoying and have been told that the whole system is disabled anyway while the service air bag light is on. Rep seemed amused and said that her hands are tied.
