Warning Light On problems of the 2009 Chevrolet HHR

For approximately 6 months when I start my 2009 chevy Hhr panel, the air bag warning light comes on. It does not go out while driving. The warning light does not always come on as it is an intermittent issue. It only comes on at starting never while driving. I am very concern that the air bag is not operating properly. I found that gm did a limited recall on a connector. My vehicle did not come up for a recall.

I have a 2009 Hhr and I have been having a number of problems the esc and the abs warning lights come at low speeds around 5 to 15 mph and the brakes make a growling noise I drive 80 miles a day back and forth to work in stop and go traffic on the interstate and the turnpike I am afraid I will rear end somebody or worse I don't want to let my wife drive the car because when it occurs she might not know on to react. When I turn the car off and it goes away for a while but comes back. And the service air bag light comes on from time to time when it is raining or heavy dew I had the recall performed on the air bags and it still is happening the passenger air bag display on the dash will come on when there is no one sitting in the passenger seat. The service abs light also comes on at the same time as the esc and the traction control light I don't feel safe I have 179,000 miles on the car the electrical system in this car has a major problem and it needs to be addressed by gm before more people are hurt or killed as I have read in other comments I don't want to take it to the dealer and just go thru the remove and replace tango trying to get lucky and fix the problem or play car doctor and treat the symptoms and not address the malady.

I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden the service airbag warning light came on as well as the warning chime. I purchased the car used in August 2013, and soon after getting it the very same warning came on. I went back to the dealer and they had it sent to a local gm dealer to be fixed. I purchased the car from a Dodge and Subaru dealer and they were not able to do the repair. I was shown the repair paperwork stating that a faulty airbag sensor was replaced. Well just last week the very same thing happened again. The service airbag light comes on then goes off sometimes after only a few seconds. Then another warning light went on stating faulty air pressure sensor. The check engine light is on as well so I'm wondering if there is some type of electrical gremlin in the car. This is extremely frustrating because I like the car but all of these stupid little issues make me want to trade it in, and never buy anything made by gm ever again.

My air bag warning light has gone on and off over several weeks. Dealer cannot diagnosis the issue because it is not been on when I bring it ind.

For no apparent reason the "service air bag" warning light comes on. Occurs while smoothly traveling at 60 mph on I-70. Cannot get light to go off or reset. Vehicle has never been hit, bumped or jolted. Web posts indicate this is a common Hhr problem. Gm needs or to make this right.

Shortly after we purchased our 2009 Hhr we received a air bag warning light. It was resolved however we have had three additional problems with air bag lights coming on including one that we were charged for repair. Then we learned that our car was on a national air bag recall and took it to a chevy dealer for repair. Dealer has been unable to get the light to turn off and have been told it is a sensor but they can't find which one is the problem. The dealer is priority Chevrolet in chesapeake. We are very worried about this problem especially since our history of problems with this issue. As of today 5/31/2015 we are still in same position with air bag warning light stuck on. We want to sell this lemon but no one will buy it with that light on.
