The passenger seat air bag sensor is inoperative after having the recall completed April of 2022. When the vehicle was in for the recall, the sensor was fine, so the reinforcement strip was added. According to the recall reference N162080281, there is a 12 month warranty on the repair. Below is the wording from the recall. -??Dealers are to inspect the PPS sensor mat for damage. If the mat is undamaged and functioning correctly, dealers will add a reinforcement strip to the sensor mat. If the mat is damaged, dealers will install a new PPS mat with the reinforcement strip. Please note that GM-??s standard 1 year/12,000 mile service part warranty applies to both the sensor mat and the reinforcement strip, regardless of which repair procedure is used. If only the reinforcement strip is installed, and the sensor mat fails during the 1 year/12,000 mile warranty period, the sensor mat and the reinforcement strip should be replaced free of charge-?? I-??ve contacted the dealer and GM, but neither will assist with the warranty, and my vehicle is without airbags. I was told that it may not apply to me, that the recall for my vehicle expired in 2017. I explained that it was replaced with an updated February 2018 to include the warranty. I believe the original recall was 17036, and the updated is 17036-02. If the recall expired 2017, why was I contacted in 2022 stating there was an open recall" If they added the warranty in 2018, why would it apply to some vehicles and not others"

My complaint is that the part is not available to fix the recall. I was informed it maybe 6 months or more until it is available. This being an airbag I feel that is unacceptable and a safety issue.

From the beginning upon purchasing this vehicle we found the passenger sensor not functioning properly, duplessis GMC in gonzales, la could not locate the problem so after many efforts with them we got a local shop to install the new sensor that we purchased from duplessis. We are looking for compensation for that device and the labor to install it. This was an intermittent problem but never went away until we had this work done. I have records to prove this was done
