The air bag light illuminated. We took the vehicle to GMC -Buick dealer who said there was a problem with seatbelt anchor assembly and has had a recall. They said the car had been in for the recall id # 89931 and had been checked. We did not own the vehicle at that time. We bought the vehicle on 8/ 31/11 from a different dealership. We had owned the vehicle only 6 weeks when the problem arose. We don't know if problem was ever solved or if the trouble was just cleared. The light was off when we left the dealership this time. We believe if problem was properly repaired on the recall there would not be a problem at this time. This dealer (young- Buick GMC) of owosso, mi said the cost of the repair is $190.79. We don't think that we should have to pay for this repair because it was a recall and the problem still exist. Evidently the problem still exists it must of not been fixed properly.

We purchased a 2009 Chevy Impala in April. My wife has a tail bone medical issue that necessitates that she sit on a special pillow while riding in a vehicle. The seat displaces her weight evenly across the seat. The problem is that the air bag sensor on the passenger compartment doesn't recognize her weight sitting on the seat, so the passenger side air bag doesn't show it is operative. We returned to the dealer who told us to set a magazine underneath her to make the sensor work. It does activate the passenger air bag "on" button sometimes, however, the majority of the time it will not activate and my wife is not protected. I called General Motors and they didn't have any solution to this safety issue, except to tell me that my wife should ride in the back seat! the dealership has no further answers for us. We are extremely frustrated that my wife is riding in a brand new vehicle unprotected by her airbag nearly all the time. Can you please investigate? thank you!
