Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
I originally did front end collision repairs on this GM vehicle and I had to originally replace the front passenger seatbelt. I went through 3 apparent good used ones for replacement and all of them have had their fair share of difference from acting up. One of them seemed to work but every now and then the airbag light would come on due to seatbelt. Replaced it with another and frequently the airbag light would come off and on than the last one installed. The 3rd replacement seems to work but airbag light would come on again, not as frequent and would only shut off if seatbelt is pulled and retracted purposely by hand. I am not seeing a short or a wire problem but the seatbelt is not working properly and I believe GM has failed to produce quality front passenger seatbelts. Even all three of the seatbelt would not fully retract on their own without pushing it in by hand.
It keeps happening. The service airbag light comes on several times during the year. No service code to repair!!! To fix we keep disconnecting the battery and reconnecting why is this a recall on some models and not on others.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 buick enclave. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to alpine buick gmc 8120 w tufts ave, denver, co 80123 to have the light turned off however, the warning light remained illuminated. The contact also stated that one day while reversing from the driveway, the power steering ceased without warning and the vehicle hit a tree. No injuries were reported and there was not a police report filed. The contact had the vehicle repaired under warranty at the same dealer but the failure recurred. Also, the contact stated that the transmission had to be replaced under warranty due to an abnormal noise that was heard emitting from the engine. The contact had the transmission replaced. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,515.
The service air bag light came on. I took it to independent auto service shop then the dealership, neither could find anything wrong with them. I was told to keep moving my driver side seat up and back every so often...that might get it to go off. Seriously, that is what dealership told me. So, during oil change I asked auto shop to take a look at service air bag issue. They said no computer code came up, so I need to take it to the dealership. Now I'm left with a car that might kill me in a crash, and my best bet to survive crash is to 'trick' sensor by moving my driver seat ' back and forth every so often!'
Air bag warning light is on. Has been on for several months; no goes off and on indicating a loose connection. My vehicle does not show a recall when looking up the VIN; however the 2013 buick enclave has an active recall for a loose air bag connection. I believe my vehicle should be included in this recall.

I purchased this vehicle on 05/25/2017. I noticed that night that the service air bag light kept coming on. I looked it up and found that some of these models had recalls on the air bag system. I am trying to find out if there is a recall(s) on this vehicle and if so have they been resolved or how do I get them resolved?
