 Service airbags screen keeps popping up on dashboard. i've noticed many others with a pontiac g5 2007 or chevy cobalt have the same issue. when the light is on, i was told by a dealership, that the airbags will not deploy. the passenger seat doesn't register anyone sitting on the seat even when someone is sitting and buckled up. *tr
