The airbag lights on and there is an electrical issue also that causes the car to smoke and nearly catch fire, as soon as the battery is reconnected. Therefore rendering it non drivable. It's the same problems that are associated with the 2006 Lucern,s. When i look up the year make and model it says there should be a recall but once you put in the vin it nothing comes up.The vehicle is readily available upon request but has not been inspected by anyone else.

Dic 'service air bag' message is showing. Moving driver's side seat forward and back sometimes makes the message disappear. The majority of the time the 'service air bag' message is showing. It has been happening since the vehicle was purchased in april of 2013 from the previous owner. The previous owner has stated that this same dic message has happened to him.
Defectives airbags. The side airbags didn't go off when I was hit on my driver side door. I dont feel safe in that vehicle. I was making a left turn and a truck was. Stopped at a yield sign where the road came to a t. I had the right of way to make my turn.
