About a week ago I got in my car and started driving. as I started going down the road the passengers side alarm for the seatbelt kept going off and I noticed the passenger side airbag had turned on as well. I was in my car alone and had nothing sitting in the passengers seat nor a passenger in my car. That was the first time it lasted my whole drive to work (about 13 miles) but made me think of past times my vehicle had done that as well A few weeks before that the same thing happened and I had to connect the seatbelt to make it stop. I didn-??t think much of it at first and thought it was a one-off kinda thing till it became a pattern of sorts. This morning I started my car and the dash kept telling me to -??service airbags-?? I just bought my vehicle from national auto sales in Spokane Washington the previous February of this year (2022) and only drive to work (13 miles) and back for the most part. Seeing the -??service airbag-?? light on in my car was concerning because I don-??t know what that means. As I looked further into things I found a recall for my vehicle for the passenger side airbags malfunctioning, recall #36110 to replace wiring in the seat. So I called GM and they couldn-??t find a recall for my vehicle. I then called Knudtsen Chevrolet in post falls Idaho expecting it to get taken care of. The guy from the service department looked up my VIN and told me my vehicle had already been serviced in the past for this passenger side airbag recall issue at another dealership and the work had already been completed and closed so there was nothing they would be willing to do except make an appointment and pay 145.00$ for them to diagnose the situation. I explained that the recall was for the very same thing that-??s happening in my vehicle right now and that was unsafe if my airbags were malfunctioning. That if they fixed it in the past why am I dealing with that exact recall issue with my airbags now? I don-??t have money to pay for something that was supposed to be fixed

The service airbag light keeps coming on. There's a frayed wire under the seat and Chevrolet is trying to charge $380 to fix the problem. Chevrolet really should open a recall for this issue because it is so common.

Everytime I turn on car my dash says service airbag and wont go off
- Clay City, KY, USA
The "service airbag system" light came on and I was told that this is a dealership only problem and the dealership wants $130 just to check it out. Being a safety issue and a dealership fix only problem I feel like I should not have to pay for attention to this matter.
