We are having the same problems as so many equinox owners are with passenger side air bag seat sensor. this problem is a major safety issue. why wait for more people to be injured or worse and demand gm address this issue once and for all.

I got into my car friday at 12:30 shut the door started it and the side airbag hit me shoved me sideways i turn the car off because i could smell the powder and i was afraid another one would go off. my arm around the elbow area hurts and my arm feels burned from about my armpit to my wrist. between my shoulder blades and my neck hurt and i've had a headache since. i depend on my car being on the ambulance and the deputy coroner for boise county i could be in my car during the day or in the middle of the night and i'm afraid now to drive it.

My airbag light and 'service air bag' light and abs light and stabalize track light were all on for a few week and i took it to local shop who said the sensor for the brakes under driver seat was bad so that cost $580.00 for new module. that took care of abs/stabilize lights. had to to go dealer for airbag lights and they charged $1070.00 because the airbag module under passenger seat was out and had to replace (part 560 plus labor). i don't feel like i should have had to pay for the airbags!! the airbag lights were on for about 6 months and never went off so i finally got tired of it...no matter if someone was sitting in seat or not, or whether it was idle, in motion, etc.

The sensor for the passenger air bag is fault and has turned off the passenger air bag many times with my husband in the seat next to me with the vehicle in motion on city streets, highways, and interstates. i fear it will turn off and we will get into an accident putting his life in unnecessary danger. this has been a well reported incident to the manufacturer by many individuals and the 2007 model had a recall in place. there is no reason the 2008 model should not also have that recall.
