3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2013

Frequently while in drive the service air bag comes on. When this light/indicator comes on this deactivates the entire air bag system which is a saftey issue/defect. This needs to be a recall by gm/Chevrolet to have this fixed immediately.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2012

I have complained before, want to know why this has not been recalled. Light came on for no reason. Wasn't in any kind of an accident. It is defective and no one will help get it fixed. There already is TSB from 2006. We moved from pennsylvania to florida and after a couple of months it came on and stayed on.
