My airbags lights can on my 2016.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2018

The airbag redyness light stays on most of the time but it dose go off once in awhile for a few minutes. I understand this is extremely common and dates back to 2009 I strongly feel a recall on this issue is in order because potentially millions off people's lives are at risk. From my research dealerships are changing $300-400 to fix this problem the problem shortly returns and that want to charge you again they just say save your receipts in case a recall is issued. I strongly feel gm is fully aware of how common the issue is and apparently the cost of a recall out weighs human life.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2016

I was going up the highway and a man hit me flying out an parking lot and the airbags never went off and I was going 35 to 40 mph, and hit an SUV. None of the air bags came out. So now I have herniated disk in my bck amd also lendons out of place everywhere.
