Air Bag On-off Switch problem #1

Vehicle displayed warning indicator in dash that air bags were not armed when vehicle was moving. Vehicle was taken to a gm dealership and they determined that the arming switch for the air bag system is located in the driver's side "fixed" end of the driver's seat belt and was defective. I would like to know if this vehicle or other gm models have had other reports of the same problem. I assume that all their vehicles operate with the same indication system and I read recently that they are currently having similar problems on some other model vehicles. I just wanted to know if this is a isolated incident with my vehicle or a potential problem for all of this model vehicle.

Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem #2

Takata recall. Myself, my family, friends, and associates have been exposed to the takata inflator which could have caused serious physical injury or death. It is a ticking time bomb as I continue to drive the vehicle and gm will not replace it.
