A WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON TO SAY SERVICE AIR BAG. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CHECK FOR THE WARNING MESSAGE ON THE AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE MY AIR BAG MODULE REPLACE. MY CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. WHY WOULD AN AIR BAG MODULE NEED TO BE REPLACED ON SUCH A NEW CAR? I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO GM. I EVEN ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK FOR THE COST OF REPAIR BECAUSE I JUST COULDN'T AND CAN'T IMAGINE A CAR THIS NEW NEEDING SUCH A REPAIR. THERE MAY BE MORE CARS LIKE MINE OUT THERE WHOSE AIR BAG MODULE HAVE OR NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WANTED THE REPAIR MADE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT MY AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED OR PERHAPS DEPLOY UNNECESSARILY. *TR
