Service air bag light intermittently illuminates and resolves itself. Complete failure of instrument cluster and HVAC suddenly with engine running. This appears to be consistent with gm recall #36110. Contacted gm for further action and was told this vehicle not included with recall despite same issue as described for recall. The airbag light happens with adult front passenger, not while seat is empty, and while vehicle is in motion.

Service air bag on dash came on today after a basic oil change @ a dealership
I was driving home from work and I was doing 55 MPH,and the car started to hesitate,and the dashboard info read stabilitrac, engine safty mod, and reduced power. Then the car started to slow down,and when I tried to give it some gas the engine started to knock,and the temperature gauge went all the way up to the top. I pulled over and shut the car off,and opened the hood, and it wasn't even over heating. After letting it sit for a few minutes I started it up and went about five hundred feet and it did it again.
My service airbag sensor light had been on since I purchased my car a year ago, I am going to sell it but I didn't want to sell it with something that has to do with safety being questionable. I drove it to auto nation yesterday june 11th to see if it was a recall. They said there hasn't been one. I drove it home and started searching online for possible problems with it and there were so many posts about this issue. I searched under the passenger seat because that's what I read to do and low and behold all types of wires under it are completely severed and torn up. I was going to fix this myself but I really don't want to be held liable in case of accident or injury. This must be fixed and it's my belief that it's caused by the vehicle design. Please hold chevrolet responsible for this repair as it is very dangerous for both the passenger and possibly everyone else in the vehicle. Thank you very much for looking into this. I also believe that when a person calls a dealer telling then exactly what they found d (I called lenlyle on colfax and sable in aurora, co. And explained to then my findings and they told me that I would have to pay for this repair. They should direct a person to you guys when something that has to do with safety is found to be defective. This should be a requirement that they contact you dot as well as offer a repair imediately and consider themselves lucky that someone wasn't killed because a person came to them with the problem instead of trying to do the repair themselves.
