Passenger airbag is on when no passenger and seatbelt not buckled. When passenger is sitting with seat belt the airbag is off. Been this way since purchase. Another issue is with thermostat and degrees . Does not show outdoor temperature and also relays the change in thermostat controls in celsius not ferinheight. No option to change .
The air bag light and sound indicator randomly and repeatedly alerts 'service air bag' whether the car is in motion or stopped or has an adult passenger or does not have a passenger at all. Have taken the vehicle to the buick dealership on three occasions and they cannot find the problem or a recall. Issue has not been resolved.
Service airbag lights appears for driver side airbag even though all modules are new, not defective nor have they been tampered with.
Airbag system service indication light comes on, the passenger side airbag goes on and off without warning when a passenger sits down, causing the airbags to be turned off. This happens while the car is stationary and in motion.

I bought my car in january 2016. Since then my passenger air light has been coming on. This mostly happens in the summer when it is hot and humid. I have taken it to mcgrath buick multiple times. They have been unable to repair the issue. I have now filed a complaint with the state attorney. I believe I have a lemon. This is a safety issue to my passengers per when this occurs the air bag will not deploy if I am in an accident.
Jan 2018, the system airbag light came on while driving took it into the shop and turns out the airbag module itself has to be removed and replaced. How annoying is this on a still fairly new vehicle. Let's keep in mind I just brought it in to the shop dec 2017 for a dead battery because apparently I auto started it to much.
With regard to my complaint # 11040554 filed on line last month. Please be advised that so far no serious action have been taken to fix the problem in spite as per the gm adviser mr craig to check the car with two different buick dealer mechanics who failed to address the problem to fix it. The problem still exist and the danger of the pass whatever he/she ia a boy or adult cannot be avoidable . So please advise me to avoid any possible danger and the car still under the manufacture warranty. Awaiting your help . Thanks

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 buick verano. While driving approximately 80 MPH, the gear shifted so hard that the vehicle jolted and caused the front passenger to strike the dashboard. There were no injuries. The service air bag warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (hirning buick gmc, pocatello, id, 208‑232‑8900) where a road test was performed, but the failure was not duplicated. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to another dealer (wackerli buick, idaho falls, id, 208-522-606) where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensors needed to be replaced. The sensors were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 4,500.
The driver as well as the front seat passenger loses the benefit of the airbags in the front seat and the airbag status indicator lights. Neither airbag deployed in my crash in which the car was completely destroyed and both driver and passenger injured. I was driving at approximately 15 MPH and turning left on a city street. A letter from buick in december 2016 claimed that only the air bag on the passenger's side needed fixing.
