I purchased a 2010 GMC terrain from rossi dealership .I had the truck for a day and the service airbag came on in the dash. I called onstar and they said to take it to the dealer. I was told it was a sensors for the airbag .the next day they tell me it's an airbag module. I still don't have the truck and they still don't know what is wrong with this truck.
