My airbag service light was on- i had a diagnostic ran on my vehicle. I was told by the glendora chevrolet dealership that my vehicle was too dangerous to drive and i needed to have my airbag replaced for $1,000. I have never been in an accident and my airbags have never been deployed. This seems like an odd service needed on a newer vehicle. This should be categorized as a safety recall issue versus a maintenance…

So right now because the brain failed i do not have air bags at all. If i were to get in an accident i would not be protected.…
