The air bag light in the instrument panel is constantly on. The passenger air bag status light is constantly reporting no passenger, even with an adult passenger seated. I have paid $100 for diagnostics by the dealership. They say that none of the air bags will deploy in case of a collision. The dealership says this defect is not under GM warranty and estimates the repair at $1000. This car never had any collision. It even does not have any dent. Did you get other complaints" is this acceptable"
