6 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2014

Intermittently, my air bag warning light comes on, and in the message center on my dash board, the message "service air bag" is seen. It is intermittent and is happening more often, sometimes up to 5 times in a 20 mile drive. Speed does not seem to make a difference as it happens when I am stopped, and at any speed. Road conditions also do not seem to have an effect as it happens in snow, rain, dry, bumpy or smooth roads. I have physically called gm to report this as well. I am taking my vehicle to my local dealer to be checked as I was told it is probably a "bad connection" which is scary. Bad connection as in they won't go off when I need them, or bad connection as in they can go off while driving.
