This time the error code I was given b0022. All of these problems appear to be due to issues with the connectors underneath the front driver and passenger seats. I will now be bringing the vehicle to be returned for the 3rd airbag problem. It would be helpful if GM would address this.”

Took vehicle to my mechanic and was informed that the problem is the driver's side lap pretensioner. A search on NHTSA site resulted in recall # 14v266000.
