During a long trip, the passenger airbag sensor light changed from "on" to "off" intermittently even though there was a passenger present all of time. When the sensor light turned to off, the instrument panel service airbag light also came on each time. This happened about 8 times during the trip. It has happened several times since then as well.

I purchased a used equinox and it now has the service air bag indication on the dash & even when occupied by a large adult the passenger side airbag will not turn on. It states off continuously. I did call chevrolet as some have been recalled for the identical problem, however, was told that my vin number did not match the recall only 437 cars matched that recall and that i was responsible for the repairs myself. *tr
