Tl* the contact owns a 2003 gmc envoy. While driving at various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed.

2003 gmc envoy 55,000 miles air bag warning light comes on intermittently. Is this covered under a federal law requiring and extended warranty?
Purchased 2003 gmc envoy slt on 11/30/2002. Service airbag light came on as I was driving the vehicle off the lot. Returned to dealer for repair. Dealer said it was a loose wire in the sensor. One month later service airbag light came on again. Returned it to dealer, could not determine problem so they replaced the passenger side airbag. Service air bag light is on again. This is the third time. Also have had intermittent problems with the brakes. When approaching a stop light have had instances where the car will not stop, and the brake pedal is to the floor this has happened 3 times. Took it into the dealer and was told this is the way the brakes function on this vehicle????? Have had intermittent problems with the 4 wheel drive. The lights on the 4 wheel drive indicator will flash from 2hi all the way to 4 whl drive without every touching the control. Extremely disappointed in this vehicle for the cost and unfortunately have a 4 year lease. Will not recommend or purchase another gmc product.
Engine stalling with vehicle in motion or when stopped. 5 stalls occurred within past 1000 miles. Sometimes vehicle, chugs/skips just before stalling. Vehicle has been serviced 3 times for this problem since october 27th and still not corrected as of this writing. Usual stall speed is around 20 MPH. One time was driving at 65 MPH on interstate, all dashboard warning lights came on vehicle hesitated but did not stall. Cruise control always stops working immediately following stalling incidents. Has stalled upon stopping at stop light/sign. Vehicle has had many electrical problems since approximately 800 miles including windshield washer system failure (twice), ABS light illuminating, airbag light.
