Side air bag/heated seat,closed the drivers side door and the air bag deployed on its own causing a really big bruise on my daughters side. Contacted the g. M. Dealership about it and was told that they would look into it and to not contact anyone else. Never heard anything back from them. Then about a month later the passenger side seat started burning and it ruined the center console ,seat,and carpet. No sense in contacting g. M. Again because they are not going to do anything about it. Someone will have to die before anything gets done to solve these problems that everyone is having and that g. M. Will not solve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
While driving air bag indicator light flashed then stayed on. Dealership serviced vehicle and replaced driver side seat air bag.
Vehicle was involved in an accident and was hit in the drivers door and left front, the side impact was so intense that the dash board was collapsed and both front seats were moved. Neither the front or drivers side air bags deployed.
While traveling at 65mph, another vehicle came across highway and hit consumer's vehicle on drivers side door dead center. Side airbags didn't deploy. Consumer has contacted dealer.
