Failure Date: 02/18/2021

I have experienced my airbag light going on for the last several years. Due to it being out of warranty, I took it to my personal mechanic to get it repaired. It turned out to be a harness under the driver seat. Less than a year later, it happened again and this time it was the harness located under the right front passenger seat. This has been replaced twice and the light has intermittently appeared again the past 3 months.

19 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2015

The air bag light will constantly come on and go off. Sometimes it will stay on for a day, week, month. I received a letter from GMC about the problem but they will only fix the problem if the vehicle is under 72,000 miles. I bought mine used at 82,000. I don't understand how this is not a safety recall. Was told by tech, when I called to see how much to fix, that if the light is on and I have a wreck the bags won't deploy. Letter states that the problem is the "pretension wire harness connectors experiencing intermittent high resistance". This problem has been happening ever since I bought the vehicle used in July 2015.
