Impala LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

There are sensors tied into the seats that makes the car aware someone is occupying the seat, thus turning on airbag. This is specifically to my passenger seat which now I do not feel comfortable letting anyone sit in for this reason. The air bag will not turn on for a 95lb person to a 300lb man sitting in it. So if there is ever an accident that air bag will never deploy, which may cause a fatality.

So why isn't this covered by any warranty or recalled by the manufacture, how many people have to die before one will take responsibility? They act as if this is not a serious matter when that air bag is suppose to be there to save a life, GM does not have this recalled, even though I have seen numerous people with this same issue. Received a quote from dealership at $355.00, which I do not feel I should have to pay for anything that is a safety hazard and was not caused by the owner, should be covered.

This is my first Chevy ever and so far I have a bitter taste in my mouth.
