passenger air bag indicator does not show person in seat
The problem was fixed in 2014, but two years later, after out of warranty same problem arises. The air bag indicator does not engage when someone (is weighs more than the minimum) sits in the seat. Took it in local dealer they could not make it malfunction. Next time in town when it was not working we drove to dealer. Left car running, passenger remained in seat so they could see it malfunction. Tech came out with a scanner and plugged it in. I watched. The diagnostic scanner said everything was fine, but the Tech could see that it was not and was confused. Said it must be a software problem and would contact GM to see what they could tell them. Waited a month and called they had not resolved the issue. I contacted GM consumer department and they call the dealer. It is nearly August and we have heard nothing after quite a few calls. From other complaints I've read it is a problem with many other cars. There have been crashes and injuries where the air bag did not deploy. I had a deer hit last October and it did not deploy but didn't think I hit the deer hard enough. I need someone to fix the problem. I'm being ignored now. I guess when I'm killed in a crash my husband will sue, but that is not going to help me. Get this, sometimes the indicator light does light up but after a while it goes off. I think there is a short, but who am I to say as I'm not a technical person.
