Example complaints

“Intermittent air bag warning light goes on and off for passenger seat whether or not the seat is occupied. This has continued for two years. On-star failure code is always b0092. I took the Buick to a dealer who attempted to fix it twice without luck. The thrid trip for a fix would have cost me $ 1,200 without any guarantees. It still is in use but I now keep my fingers crossed. This happens when parked or driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10883850, filed 2016-07, 26,182 miles“When the vehicle is started the red airbag light comes on and will not go off. Occasionally when there is a passenger and the passenger airbag light comes on the red airbag light will go off. It is my concern that the airbag will not deploy when it should or it will deploy when it shouldn't. I am very concerned about this. The car has never been wrecked and the airbags have never been deployed. This all happens either stationary and/or in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #10971964, filed 2017-04, 15,000 miles“My wife is handicapped has had multiple back surgeries and needs to sit on a cushion on the passenger side of the vehicle. When she sits on a cushion the airbag light says the airbag is not on. The vehicle was taken to palm auto mall Buick in 2010 where they replaced the sensor in the seat. It still says that the airbag is off when she sits on the cushion. I contacted GM in spring of 2012 and was told that there was nothing they could do to remedy the problem. This is very dangerous if in fact the airbag is off.”
NHTSA complaint #10486273, filed 2012-11, 26,000 miles“The airbag warning light comes on while the car is traveling indicating the airbags are malfunctioning. It comes on and off intermittently. I brought in to the dealer and they cleared the malfunction code and it happened again. They want to change the sensor under the seat for $1250 since it is not covered by warranty. It seems to occur when the car is in motion going either up or down an incline.”
NHTSA complaint #10920160, filed 2016-10, 48,000 miles“Airbag light comes on intermittently. This is a safety concern, since appearance of this light may indicate that airbag would not deploy in the event of an impact. The dealership checked the care and cleared the code, and advised to keep an eye on this should the light come back on. I have checked online and this seems to be a pervasive issue with this particular model year and even years following this. In some cases there have been recalls that involved software issues. …”
