I have a 2006 Monte Carlo 3LT, and my "Service Airbag" indicator came on my DIC, and would not go out. After taking it to my dealership, they determined that the Passenger Side Airbag Control Module needed replacing, and would cost a total of $916.82. ($758.82 for the module, and $158.00 for 2 hours of labor to replace it). They offered me a GM courtesy deal by giving me a 50% discount, so I only had to pay $450 plus tax. They used GM Document 1606472 to determine that the module was bad. I had the repairs done as I need the problem fixed due to having passengers in the car, and they told me that the airbag would be disabled while the indicator was on.
After looking through some of the forums and looking around the internet, I have found that others have had the same issues. They told me that if others were having the same problem, that we could say something to GM and possibly have them look into a recall?

Thanks for any responses.

 

if you cry hard enough to gm about it and tell them your considering attorny's, they will more then likely give you what you want because it would be cheaper. as ive been told

 

My issue is that it is a safety device, and why should those not be warrantied or at least fixed by GM? This is crazy to be charging this much for a control module for the airbag.

electronics are not cheap in todays automotives.
dont know what to tell you about a recall, but push gm to see what you can get out of them
