The check airbag light will come on randomly at any given time. It usually stays on for about two days or so and goes off for several weeks before popping back on. We usually see this happen when there are temperature changes from season to season. Even though there is a recall concerning the airbag system on certain makes and models, we were surprised when our truck was not on the list.

Electrical is dash is causing the radio to mess up. It switches from radio to USB to cd to aux, will not stay on just one of them making listening to radio not possible. The air bag light stays on with a message saying check air bag. The tire monitor light stays on and don't know why. Also the ABS light comes on randomly, had this checked out and it wouldn't give them a code so chevy couldn't fix it while under warranty. This is a lot going and would love for it be fixed. I also seen that starting in 2011 there is recalls on this vehicle for electrical not sure why they wouldn't include the 2010.
