16 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2014 Buick Verano

Failure Date: 02/15/2018

The air bag light flashes on and off on the passenger side, both in motion or stationary. It started doing this for no particular reason.

My car does not have an excessive amount of miles and I haven't done anything thing to cause this to suddenly start malfunctioning, yet it is. This is a safety hazard caused by the manufacturer, that has nothing to do with how many miles are on the car, yet they won't fix it.
