Consumer Description

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON CONSTANTLY. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THIS COULD INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING WHEN IT SHOULD, OR POSSIBLY DEPLOYING WHEN NOT NEEDED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN OCCURRING PROBLEMS ON SEVERAL MAKES AND MODELS I HAVE SEEN ON THE NEWS, ALL WITH RECALLS ISSUED, AND YET, CHEVY AND GM HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS. SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON MY VEHICLE, AS WELL AS OTHERS. WHAT WILL IT TAKE BEFORE CHEVY AND GM DECIDE TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS, AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS, AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL, IF NOT FATAL, POTENTIAL PROBLEM. *TR
