Airbag light comes on due to faulty electrical connector underneath driver power seat. This is an extremely common issue that gm is aware of. There should be a recall by gm due to being a life safety system.

After filling tank with gasoline there is a leak. The fumes from the leak are very strong in my garage, requiring me to ventilate the area to prevent an explosion. I do not overfill. The auto-turnoff at the pump won't allow that. Apparently the leak is where the two tanks are connected.

Air bag readiness light comes on intermittently on dash. Just purchased vehicle. Car is very low miles showroom condition. This issue happened when turning vehicle on.

Airbag light is on. Connector under drivers seat wiring is too short and wire bundle pulled with seat movement. Bundle frayed and one wire pulled out. The seat moves in and out every time I get into and out of the car. Owned the car since new and dealer had removed the seat for service several years ago, possibly reinstalled incorrectly.

Airbag readiness red warning light on dash stays lit. Cause appears to be faulty or loose wiring/connector underneath seat.

Filed Jan 15, 2016 · Airbags · 28,000 miles · MI

Air bag light on instrument panel goes on and off . Came on yesterday then went off again . Seems like this may be caused by the seat moving to different positions. I contacted other people with this same style vehicle and they are having the same problem. All the dealer wants to do is change parts for a lot of money. With as many complaints they are getting this should be corrected. Light came on when car was started. The car has a memory seat that moves back when the driver exits the vehicle..
