I HAVE A2012 IMPALA WHICH HAD ALMOST 60000 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED IT. VEHICLE NOW HAS AROUND 85000 MILES ON IT, HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS EVER. RECENTLY MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON DISPLAYING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS OFF. I TOOK IT INTO A SHOP WHERE THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT IS MOST LIKELY THE SENSOR ON PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER BEING TOLD THIS, I TOOK IN TO DEALER SHIP FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE REMINDING YOU THAT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS VEHICLE IS IN USE WITHOUT AIR BAGS PROPERLY WORKING. I KNOW THAT THERE IS PRIOR RECALLS FOR SAME VEHICLE, SAME PROBLEM ONLY THE RECALLS WERE FOR YEARS 2008-2010. THE DEALER WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGING ME ALMOST A 200$ FEE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON A MAJOR KNOWN SECURITY ISSUE. I FURTHER CALLED GM THE SAME DAY AND SPOKE TO TWO REPRESENTATIVESEPARATE. THE FIRST REP WAS A MAN, I EXPLAINED THAT THE AIR BAG FRONT PASSENGER NOTIFICATION CAME ON. HE ASKED IF I WAS IN ACCIDENT,WHICH NO, NEVER ANY ACCIDENT. HE PUT ME ON HOLD THEN CAME BACK AND ADVISED ME OF A RECALL AND HE WAS NEEDING TO SEE WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO FOR ME, PUT ME BACK ON HOLD JUST TO GET ANOTHER REP , I ASKED FOR SUPERVISOR.THE LADY CAME ON AND CLEARLY TOLD ME THE OPPOSITE OF THE MAN I WAS JUST TALKING TO. THAT NO NO RECALL, THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEES.ARE YOU KIDDING ME??THEY SAID THAT UPON PREVIOUS SITUATIONS,THAT AN AIR BAG SENSOR WOULD NEED REPLACING COSTING ABOUT $1000..CLEARLY THERE'S A FAULTY, SOFTWARE DEFECT WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED FOR MY VEHICLE. GM NEEDS TO CARE THAT NO LIFE SHOULD BE AT RISK IF IN AN UNSAFE CHEVY IMPALA. I REFUSE TO THINK GM PROVIDES UNSAFE VEHICLES TO ANYONE. THERE'S WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS OF AIR BAG ISSUES WITH THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES, GOD FORBID ANY ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AND GM COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE PROBLEM AND EVEN SAVE A LIFE.
