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? *TR
