Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The wire harness corroded , and it caused everything in my car to stop working my back passenger window won’t go down , my back driver side cannot be put up or down from the back , my airbag light is now on and now my car will not shift while driving to allow me to drive it over 30mph .. I’ve paid the dealer almost $1400 to fix wiring. I’ve owned the car exactly a year now
Airbag warning light goes on and off, then will stay off for a couple of weeks and then starts the same process again. Can be in motion or stationary after parking, but engine still running.
I go through headlights every 6 months this last time, my driver side headlight got replaced and two days later it went out and the glass was shattered. I went and got new bulb and it did not work, after inspecting the the wiring we noticed it was burnt up and need replaced, gmc said it's on us. We have spoke with gmc about our engine burning oil which they are well aware of and the dealership tried to help but gmc refused to do anything my car send a signal telling me to turn off the car or starts miss firing every which way and gives codes saying I need new coils which is not the case. The air bag light goes off saying that there is someone in the passenger seat because the calibration get off, it took mcdaniel's to figure it out the other dealership blamed it on electronics. The windshield wiper fluid no longer comes out properly and needs something replaced so that it will go up on the windshield.
The casings to the seatbelts in the 2nd row have come off along with a lot of other plastic casing such as the floor vent in the back, the front seat reclining knob and others. The electrical system related to the speaker wires and the power door locks and windows are dysfunctional. The airbag light is on not sure if it is from the recall
In september 2014, recall #14187 was preformed and repair on my vehicle. However now is september of 2015, while driving my vehicle, the service airbag light started coming on. Took to dealership to look at under air bag light special coverage and was told it was not covered. Issue for the service airbag light I was told is due to the front seat belt retractor on the driver side. Call gm to complain. Was told original recall was repaired. It seems that this is still an issue even after the recall was done. Now it is the seat belt retractor instead of the tensioner.
