Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM SOMEONE WHO LET ME KNOW OF THIS ISSUE AND COULD NOT GET IT FIXED. THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT NO MATTER IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THERE IS A "SERVICE AIR BAG" WARNING AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION LIGHT. THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE IS ALWAYS SET TO OFF NO MATTER IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE WHETHER THE PEOPLE BOUGHT THE CAR WHEN IT WAS NEW OR USED. IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND IT COSTS $800-$1000 FOR GM TO FIX IT WHICH IS LUDICROUS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT THEY INSTALLED. THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE IN THE 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND THAT WAS RECALLED HOWEVER GM WILL NOT RECALL THE 2008????
