Seats problem #1

When I move the driver's seat the "airbag" symbol appears on the dashboard. If I move the seat back and forth , after a few tries, the "airbag" symbol disappears. I was not able to look under the seat, but I have seen a video where somebody had the exact same problem but found burnt wires under the seat. I am wondering if there is a fire hazard. This happened when the car is stationary.

Seats problem #2

After leaving restaurant got into car and adjusted driver seat, proceeded to exit,approached stop light, then heard faint popping sound then smelled odor and saw smoke. Immediately pulled into adjacent restaurant across street,exited vehicle and car was on fire. An employee at restaurant advised to move away from car fearing an explosion. Immediately called 911 and was dispatched to local fire dept.

Seats problem #3

I have rust in my car and under the bottom. Cadillac states this is normal and they cannot do anything until there is a hole in the vehicle. They rely on the dealers feedback. The district manager in the area is of no use. The dealer over rides his decisions. What does GMC paid this fellow for?.
