Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a used 2004 chev. silverado pick-up in 7-2005 from a car dealer in our area. within a short time frame from the purchase the air bag light came on for no apparent reason. i took the truck to the dealer where i purchased it and they advised that it would cost approx. $550.00 to replace an sdm module. i have spoken to several mechanics since and they advised that they have seen this same problem with the chev. silverado pick-ups driver air bag. i believe that this is a safety issue that should be looked into. i believe that they have a defective coil spring in the air bag system which will not allow the steering wheel airbag to operate. please check and advise. thanks. *nm
