The airbag light stays on. It’s a known problem with this vehicle. Hundreds of owners online with complaints. I believe it has to do with faulty wiring under drivers seat. I’m scared the bag will intermittently inflate. GMC has to know about it. It’s happening on all the equinox vehicles. Thank you

Service airbag light came on after passenger seat and airbag light turned off. The side 2 passenger airbag kept going on and off until finally it shut down.

Tires losing air, passenger bag not working and sound going off and on.
