I see in the past that there is/was a recall on the airbag system for the 2016 Chevrolet Trax. My front passenger airbag light stays on in the off setting and it is unknown if if was fixed or checked by the previous owner. I had an accident March 2019 and the airbags didn't deploy. I never knew that I could report it to you as it was my first ever car accident. A car pulled out in front of me today at work, luckily I avoided having an accident and that's when I noticed again that the passenger side airbag light was set to off. Also would like to say that the display in the car doesn't work properly, the screen freezes. And whenever I connect my Bluetooth, my phone and the radio plays at the same time. I have to turn the car off and back on to correct it.
