What did they do to service it? Replace the sensor under the passenger seat? Mine does that too and I understand that's where the problem lies. I also understand the sensor is pretty expensive, so in my case, at least for now, I just don't have a passenger side air bag. As for why GM doesn't recall them, I have no idea. We're gurus, not psychics.

2006 Cobalt all of the sudden I lost power steering, cruise control, power windows, windshield wipers. The a air bag light came on and the middle of the display on the dashboard (I.e. where the check in light and seat belt light is) is out. The car has driven fine until I started this morning. Now my driver's side window is stuck down and it's barley drivable. I went to a Chevy dealership and they say all recalls on the car were fixed in 2014, oddly enough including the ignition, power steering, and air bag ... I asked why it was all broken again. No clear answer. Can someone please help me 3 Answers
