HARDLY EVER HAVE A PASSENGER IN THIS CAR. CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BY THE INCREDIBLE LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE MAIN DASH WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD GO OFF WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. ON 10/19/16 THE GM DEALER SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY (CHECKED OUT OK IN LATE JULY) AND POSSIBLY A REPLACEMENT PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE (THE ENTIRE SEAT BOTTOM). THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE LIGHTS WORKED PROPERLY UNTIL 11/12/16. THE SENSOR/SEAT HAD TO BE PREPAID FOR $1,195 AND THE WORK WAS DONE BY THE DEALER ON 11/15/16 FOR A TOTAL COST OF $1,386.
