Air bag light intermittently comes on. When light comes on, air bag system is shut down so if there is an accident, air bag will not deploy. Van is going in for the 6th time to have this fixed. This has been an on going problem since 1 month after purchase. GMC will not buy back van and this is a major safety issue as van is uncomfortable to drive with fear of the air bag not deploying in case of an accident. Looking into filing lemon law as safety is #1 priority, GMC doesn't seem to care. ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis****761634.
