The passenger presence module does not work. The deal said if it was involved in a crash there would be a possibility the airbag on the passenger side would not go off because it can't register if someone is sitting in the seat or not.

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL FIX AND THEY ASK IF I WANTED A DIAGNOSIS ON THE TRUCK FOR A CHARGE . I SAID YES CAUSE I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. WHICH THEY BOTH CAME ON A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. SO THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE BELT TENSIONER IS OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THAT THE WIRING UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT IS MESSED UP. AND THEY TOLD ME SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE WRONG WITH MY TRUCK THAT I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT WERE FALSE. BUT I ASKED HIM IF THE SEAT BELT AND WORKING ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SAFETY WARRANTY. AND HE SAID NO AND TO FIX YOUR TRUCK IT WILL BE 5400 DOLLARS. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE ITEMS AND THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15522. SO I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF I'M OR THE SERVICES ADVISOR. THANKS

THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND TOOK IT INTO A DEALERSHIP TO FIGURE OUT WHY (NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT). THE FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS WOULD MEAN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT BE DEPLOYED BECAUSE THE SENSOR ISN'T ABLE TO DETECT IF THERE IS A PASSENGER THERE OR NOT.
