Nothing happened to cause the airbag light to come on, but one day a few years ago it came on and won't go off. Certified gm mechanic can't find reason why. So I still drive the vehicle but have told my family, and left notarized statement with documentation, that if something should happen to me as a result of this (I.e. Airbag doesn't deploy thereby causing fatal injury or deploys without cause causing injury) they are to sue gm.
