Red air bag light comes on intermittently. Many owners of these cars have complained. It is a poor design and should be recalled. When the air bag light is on, there is no air bags that work. The problem is in the wiring and in the passenger presence system which costs nearly 1k for a new seat bladder which may or may not fix the problem. Many owners of these models are having issues with the air bag systems in these vehicles. Why hasn't gm been ordered to repair all of these obviously defective systems? Never had an air bag problem with any other vehicle. Light is on steady now and all air bags are disabled due to this one problem. Not a great design and as a safety issue, it should be a mandatory repair by gm. None of my other brands-ford, nissan, or hondas have ever had an air bag problem. This is another ignition key design type lawsuit waiting to happen. Why hasn't a recall been ordered? Over 70 complaints right here for same issues. When is something going to be done before deaths occur due to non deployment?

The air bag light comes on frequently, but mainly during hot summer days and has came on several times since we purchased the vehicle march of 2019. The light comes on when we are stationary and while driving. When doing research, this seems to be a common problem with other consumers vehicles. I had read it was an electrical issue and in my opinion this is very dangerous and should be a recall. Another issue we have that I also seen was a common issue with lacrosse owners, is the power locks. None of my lock work properly, all of them have to be manually locked and unlocked. Today, december 10, 2019, we noticed that when I tried getting out of the car the door would not open. Door was unlocked and had been unlocked. My boyfriend tried opening the door from the outside and it would not open. I tried to lock it and unlock it again, I tried pushing the door really hard to see if it would pop open and no luck. I think there should be a lot more recalls on this vehicle as I've had this issues as well as many others.

First issue car will shut off driving down the freeway doing 60 70 miles an hour it will just shut off and I have to coast to the side and wait and wait till it starts again very dangerous. Next issue is the airbag light flashes on and off I'm assuming do I do to a pressure sensor in the passenger seat which I have a daughter that sits in the passenger seat and I don't know if the airbag is working or not. Next problem are the door locks they lock they don't lock the left rear does not work I have to manually pull it up and push it down if I want it locked the key fob warning is always on my dash saying key fob battery is low I replaced it I replace the key fob itself it just works when it wants to. Next problem the check engine light comes on goes off comes on goes off and therefore I cannot use my remote start if the check engine light is on it has been checked there's nothing wrong with the car nothing shows up if you check the gauges I don't know what to do I paid a lot of money for my remote start cannot use it and I'm in minnesota. I need my car fixed it's reliable it's a good car it's what I drive it's my car I have a daughter's life at stake in my car I expect it to be trusted in the car that I bought after reading all the complaints on the site regarding the same issues that my car is having I am hoping literally hoping that your company is willing to fix these issues in my car and all the other people that are waiting in line cuz this is ridiculous

I noticed that the passenger side air bag light would toggle between on and off while driving. The buick dealer diagnostic and scan test revealed that the passenger side pressure sensor failed. Cost of repair is $2,000.00 with no safety warranty options available to offset the cost. No obvious damage to pressure sensor or passenger side seat cushion containing the bladder and pressure sensor in the years of owning this car to warrant failure of pressure sensor. Due to absence of reason for the failure of the passenger side pressure sensor, I am concerned about potential faulty safety systems on my vehicle. A failure pressure sensor in the passenger side could mean that in the event of a crash the airbag does not deploy properly even when there is a passenger sitting there. Therefore, it is a safety risk and needs to be replaced, but since it has not been damaged during ownership I am LED to suspect that it is a faulty pressure sensor.

Passenger presence system malfunction. Diagnosed as a faulty mat/module in right front set cushion. Very expensive to fix. When passenger is in right front seat air mag message on. Malfunction. Very common with this model vehicle. That's what the tech said at the dealership
