1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2022

The airbag light stays on. It’s a known problem with this vehicle. Hundreds of owners online with complaints. I believe it has to do with faulty wiring under drivers seat. I’m scared the bag will intermittently inflate. GMC has to know about it. It’s happening on all the Equinox vehicles. Thank you.

Takata inflators.

4 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2017

Vehicle is on stationary state. (1) the "rear door lift gate would drop slowly", but it is now becoming harmfully worse as being used. I believe this is due to poor quality parts on the lift itself. This is not common to happen in other autos. Repair is inevitable. (2) the passenger front seat is locked up. No forward or backward movement, although it is reclining. It doesn't matter if vehicle is moving or not.
