On 3/7/13 my service air bag light came on the next day my door handle broke off and I called GM and they stated they had been no recalls for these problems. After looking online I saw that people were having all kinds of problems with these issues and they are both big safety issues. I feel like GM is not wanting to take care of these issues. The air bag could deploy at any time and the if I was in a wreck or auto was on fire I'd have no way of getting out the vehicle with the door handle broke off. They just told me it was up to me or I'd have to wait until they was enough complaints. That doesn't seem right now I'm having to leave the car sitting cause of these safety issues since I'm on a limited income and GM should be responsible for these safety issues. Thank you very much

Air bag connector went bad when the car was 2 yrs old. Some unknown electrical problem has caused a 5 yr battery to be dead after 2 yrs of normal usage. Dealer says air bag connector is not covered under warranty and that the battery is dead.

After starting the vehicle one morning last year the airbag light come on after going to the dealer he says the harness under the seat was loose and unplugged it and repluged it and also cleared the computer, ,, well after 6 months later the light is on again, ,,this time it cost me $218 for a new harness = $18 for the harness and $200 for labor $200 for labor "?" or I wouldn't get my inspection sticker for my car after loads of complaints I have read on the HHR network and the fact that the airbag will not work when this light is on, ,,why is there not a recall on these bad harnesses.

While driving or parked I see the service air bag light come on. It has been going on and off. I haven't read where anyone else has been having this issue yet. But I have had the ignition stuck in the on position. I had to unplug the battery until the next morning. When I could go to the dealership. They fixed the car it was still under warranty at the time of incident. But now I am getting this service air bag light, when it does come on I can't see the mileage nor the temperature gauge. I want to know can this be fixed?
