I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE LAST RECALL FOR THE PASSANGER AIR BAG SENSOR IT DID NOT TURN THE LIGHT OFF AND THE DEALER SAYS THER IS A DIFFERANT ISSUE WITH IT AND THAT'S WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID AS FAR AS TAPING THE WIRES OR REPLACING THE SENSOR. BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY DID NOTHING NOW THEY TELL ME THE PART IS 433.00 AND LABOR AND PROGRAMING IS ALMOST 1000.00. I SEE MANY CARS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE PASSANGER PRESENCE SENSOR MODULE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON KEEPS ME FROM GETTING THE CAR INSPECTED. BASICALLY IF YOU SIT IN MY PASSANGER SIDE FRONT SEAT IT CAN'T RECOGNIZE ANYONE SITTING THERE. ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOME ON THIS SITUATION.

FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, AN AIRBAG RED LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY ALONG WITH A BEEPING NOISE. I CAN'T AFFORD THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REQUIRES TO CHECK IT OUT TO SEE IF IT IS THE DRIVERS SIDE OR PASSENGER AIR BAG. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT IMPOSES ANY DANGER. THEY SAY IT MAY ME JUST A FAULTY SYSTEM AND THAT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY IN AN EMERGENCY. BUT THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE FRONT SIDE OUT TO CHECK. THE LABOR TIME IS QUITE PRICE. ALSO, WHEN USING MY REMOTE, THE DOOR LOCKS STAY LOCKED OFF AND ON. NO RHYME OF REASON. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR; BUT YOUR FORM HERE MAKES ME PUT JUST ONE DATE DOWN IN ORDER TO PROCEED.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW MONTHS NOTICED IT HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS COLD AND OR WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS UNTIL IT CAME ON INDEFINITELY RECALL AFTER RECALL I HOPED SHOULD RESOLVE EVERY TIME THEY SAY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RECALL AT TIME OF SERVICE/RECALL CORRECTION.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured April 25, 2008 through February 16, 2010. The front passenger seat frame may contact and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the wires are damaged, the passenger presence sensory system may fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied, disabling the air bag. Damage may also cause the air bag fuse to short resulting in a loss of all air bags and seat belt pretensions. Both conditions increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will double wrap the wires with anti-abrasion tape and replace damaged wires as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 1, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 36110.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet).

THE FRONT SAFETY BELT WEBBING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY SECURED TO THE LAP BELT ANCHOR PRETENSIONER MOUNTED TO THE SIDE OF THE SEAT NEAREST THE DOOR.
Consequence & remedy

GM IS RECALLING 79 MY 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR THAT COULD FRACTURE AT AN INFLATOR TUBE DURING A DEPLOYMENT.
