I have had several issues with the air bag and electronic stability control. I have taken my vehicle in before regarding the issue with the service air bag light before. Just recently the service esc (electronic stability control) light had come on. I called general motors regarding if there any recalls for my vehicle, and was told there are not active recalls, but I should take my vehicle in to have it serviced for the passenger side air bag not working properly (not on). I have also had numerous issues with my tmp(tire pressure monitoring) system as well with regard to low tire pressure that keeps showing the left front tire. When I put air in that tire air pressure is registering in the other tires as well. These are all serious safety concerns that need to be investigated. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, but this could possibly lead to serious injuries or death.

I was on the way to work when my car started to jump, sputter and then stopped completely, was going on to the expressway. The engine reduced power light came on, engine stability control light came on as did many other lights. Tried to turn the car back on but did not start, waited a bit and finally got the car running. Took to my auto mechanic and stated it was the ecs and throttle body that needs to be replaced. I have looked and there are many complaints about same issue. I was driving today at 70rpm with the lights came back on and was lucky enough for get off the highway prior to car completely stopping. If this is a known issue why is Chevrolet waiting until someone is injury or worst yet killed before a recall is done.
