It keeps happening. The service airbag light comes on several times during the year. No service code to repair!!! to fix we keep disconnecting the battery and reconnecting why is this a recall on some models and not on others.

The service air bag light came on. I took it to independent auto service shop then the dealership, neither could find anything wrong with them. I was told to keep moving my driver side seat up and back every so often...that might get it to go off. Seriously, that is what dealership told me. So, during oil change I asked auto shop to take a look at service air bag issue. They said no computer code came up, so I need to take it to the dealership. Now I'm left with a car that might kill me in a crash, and my best bet to survive crash is to 'trick' sensor by moving my driver seat ' back and forth every so often!'

Air bag warning light is on. Has been on for several months; no goes off and on indicating a loose connection. My vehicle does not show a recall when looking up the VIN; however the 2013 Buick Enclave has an active recall for a loose air bag connection. I believe my vehicle should be included in this recall.

Driver's seat airbag defective. A warning light indicated it was not functioning. When repaired, noted that airbag was "open" and would not have inflated. The vehicle had not previously been in an accident. GM would not cover repair of defective airbag
