4 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2017

Service air bag light illuminated about 9 months ago. The issue was reported by dealer as wire harness under the driver side that was replaced and welded. Now same issue after 9 months again (September 2017) service light come on again and dealer told me is the same issue but now is under the passenger side. My vehicle is currently under 71k miles. Really concern I had these two events. Something is wrong with the seat wire harness creating the same failure mode. What is wrong with the wire harness? both issues were not covered by gm. They stated that only is covered under bumper to bumper limited to 36k miles. I issued a concern with gm and gave me this number to record this concern 8-3308753301 however the solution is that I need to take care since is out of warranty.

5 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2017

Takata recall, my airbag light comes on and goes off whenever it wants. Sometimes it with come on and stay on for days to months at a time, I took it back to the chevy dealership where I purchased it from. I paid for the diagnostic and for them to fix it and it stood off for a few weeks and came back on and when I called and told them that my airbag light came back on they to me to make an appointment to get a 3rd diagnostic and for me to paid again I refused and I am just dealing with the light coming and going off on its own. I have to hold my key in the ignition in the forward position being cranked for about 4-5sec just for my SUV to turn on and asked the dealership why and they couldn't give me an answer and just shrugged there shoulders with no answers. And when I put my give my SUV a little bit of throttle it hesitates a bit and when I happen to floor it being stuck in the snow it studder and hesitated for about a sec or two before it reacted.

6 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2015

I took my car for service on 2/20/2015 and the next day the service airbag lights came on stayed on even after I turned the car off and back on. The next day it didn't come back on the following day which was 2/22/2015 it came on and again and stayed all day. On 2/23/2015 didn't come on at all then came back on again on 02/24/2015 and remained on until I wrote this complaint. I called my dealer and they gave me an appointment for 2 weeks on 3/12/2015 if something is wrong with the airbag I'm not safe and my warranty may no longer cover it at that time being this is my only means of transportation.
