Airbag service required light started appearing on dashboard approx 1 month ago once hitting close to 100,000 miles. it occurred at a random time while in motion, during normal driving conditions. vehicle has not been in any accidents or damage. light of airbag service started appearing randomly. at first it would turn on and off; now it constantly appears. i have taken it to used car dealer that i bought car from; they instructed me to call general motors because it appears as a safety issue after they investigated it. general motors told me it was not a recall, yet they were aware it is a service issue multiple people with the same year, make and model have dealt with. they instructed me to take it to nearest chevy dealer to have it services at a unreasonable cost. called local chevy dealer they wanted diagnosing payment plus payment to service the vehicle. i did not take vehicle to chevy because the pricing is outrageous, this issue has occurred with multiple vehicles or the same year, make and model. it is obviously a safety issue that gm should be responsible for. others have written online about paying for the service and ...
Airbag light on,turns lights not working
The airbag warning light comes on randomly. while lit the airbags will not function. it has been looked at by a chevrolet dealer at least twice (12/2010 and 2/2011). both of those times the error code was b0020. it has been taken to a certified mechanic on 8/2015 and codes b1370, b0081, and b0020 showed. the problem was always fixed, temporarily, by applying connector grease to the wire connections. on 9/2017, the mechanic replaced the passenger seatbelt retractor. this also fixed the problem temporarily. by paying close attention to when the warning light comes on we have determined that the sensor is affected by the interior temperature of the car. when the temperature is above approximately 65f the airbag warning light comes on and renders the safety of the airbags useless! i have yet to find any permanent fix for the issue. however there are numerous complaints by others online. it seems unacceptable to me that a vital piece of safety equipment is malfunctioning yet the manufacturer/dealer will not take any steps to fix it.
