While driving at highway speed "service airbags" light came on for no apparent reason. This car has never been in an accident and did not come in contact with anything. Light is still on and repair "estimate" is between $750.00 and $1500.00. Car had approximately 32000 miles on the odometer when this occurred but because the car is 4 years old chevrolet will not warranty this safety problem.

My airbag service light keeps coming on. When someone sits in the passenger seat, my airbag light keeps going from on to off while someone is sitting in the seat. Safety issue is that if i get into an accident, more than likely the airbag will not deploy as expected. Faulty sensor or bad wiring i dont know but i see this issue in alot of camaro forums and online in general.

Passenger air bag sensor keeps going off on the camaro when driving. Even with nothing on the seat, the "service air bag" message appears on the dash, but after driving for a short distance, it goes away. Then it comes back intermittently, again with nothing on the seat. The issue started appearing on its own. I've searched in online forums and see that a lot of owners are having the same issue, and when they take…

Driving down the highway and the airbag sensor came on. It goes on/off at will. It appears after reading other post, that this is a faulty sensor in the seat and the dealers know about it. Why hasn't there been a recall? I am not sure if airbag will deploy accidentally or if it won't deploy during an accident. Either way, if someone is sitting in the passenger's seat, they are sure the get injured. *tr

Air bag sensor began going off on my 2010 camaro about 2 months ago. I took car to dealership and they said it would cost almost $1000 to replace the sensor. They could not tell me which airbag sensor was defective. They also could not tell me if the air bag would deploy if vehicle is hit. They did look for air bag recalls and found none; however, the fact that they could not determine if they air bags would deploy…

For the passed few month i've notice my passenger airbag sensor hasn't been working right, but never thought anything major about it. I don't have a lot of people in my passenger seat so it wasn't a problem at first. Now it's become annoying and make me feel bad about my car. I just took to the dealership and they told me what i already knew that the module has a defect. *tr

According to the on/off light on the dome light the passenger bag is off when this warning comes on. Over the past month it has gotten worse and it progressed to just having the warning go off all the time now, even when i don't have…
