The air bag indicator has been illuminated since october 2016. I recently learned that after my mechanic run a diagnostic test on 1/19/2017, the reading shows that there is a problem with the driver seat which causes the "service air bag" to highlight in the information center of the stereo system at every startup of the engine.

What owners say
Service airbag light and warning indicator came on when car is started. Took to gm certified dealership for service. Was advised code b0058- right front pretensioner defective on passenger seat belt buckle. The dealership advised that this part is no longer available from gm and therefore they wouldn't be able to make repairs. Also advised that the air bags are disabled and will not deploy. Was told to contact gm customer service. After 3 weeks of lengthy telephone conversations, still no help from gm. Searched every online website and this part is not available. Please advise what if anything can be done to stress the importance of this issue with gm.
