AIR BAGS
BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AIRBAG LIGHTS REMAIN ON NO MATTER IF PARKED OR DRIVING. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE WORKING. FEAR THAT BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. FEEL GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE, DEALERS ARE CLUELESS, I DO NOT INTENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED OR EVEN DIAGNOSED BASED ON THE SHEER QUANTITY OF SAME/SIMILAR COMPLAINS WITH NO CLEAR CUT RESOLUTION. PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES WHETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT, DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER IF PARKED, RUNNING, IN REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OR DRIVE. I SERIOUSLY HOPE THIS CAR DOESN'T KILL ME. SEEMS WITH ALL OF THE AIRBAG SAFETY RECALLS, THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE ADDED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH. *TR
