THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF FOR YEARS... I BELIEVE IT STARTED IN 2010 I CALLED THE DEALER AND ALSO CONTRACTED GM AND NO RECALLS WERE REPORTED. I THEN CHECK ON IT WITH NHTSA NO RECALLS. IT 1ST. STARTED ON RIGHT PASSENGERS SIDE IT WOULD WARN IT WAS NOT ON EVER WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF. NOW THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE REPORTING ON IT. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE AIR BAG OR AIR BAGS WILL NOT COME ON IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. NOT A SAFE FEELING FOR MY WIFE AND I IF WE WOULD BE IN A BAD ACCIDENT. HAS ANYONE REALLY LOOKED INTO THE MANY COMPLAINTS? ON
AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF SPORADICALLY
THE AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT DOES THIS WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING, STOPPED, IN REVERSE OR IN PARK.

LIGHT FOR AIRBAG COMES ON LIGHT AND SIGNAL FOR SEAT BELT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH SEAT BELT IS ENGAGED.
MORE THEN 5 TIMES THE SUV HAS NOT STARTED, AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE THE KEY WOULD NOT EVEN TURN IN IT. I BELIEVE WE HAVE TANAKA AIRBAGS.
THERE IS A RECALL ON SIMILAR MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT MINE. MY KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUES TO RUN. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHILE IN PARK. THIS COULD CAUSE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AS IT HAS DRAINED MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS BECAUSE IF IT IS NOT FULLY DIS…

THERE IS A RECALL ON SIMILAR MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT MINE. MY KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUES TO RUN. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHILE IN PARK. THIS COULD CAUSE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AS IT HAS DRAINED MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS BECAUSE IF IT IS NOT FULLY DISENGAGED I CAN STILL REMOVE THE KEY IN ACC MODE AND DRIVE MODE. ALSO, I HAVE TO TUG ON THE GEAR SHIFT IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY INTO THE PROPER POSITION TO REMOVE IT PROPERLY. NOW'I CANNOT EVEN TURN MY KEY, AS THE IGNITION IS SEIZING. IT TAKES ME NO LESS THAN 10 MINUTES TO GET IT TO CLICK AND TURN ON. I WAS ADVISED MY MODEL IS NOT IN THE RECALL THOUGH THE SAME AND SAME MAKES ARE. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE! THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL, BUT WHEN I WENT TO MY APPOINTMENT, THEY ADVISED IT IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL.
