NOTHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON, BUT ONE DAY A FEW YEARS AGO IT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC CAN'T FIND REASON WHY. SO I STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE TOLD MY FAMILY, AND LEFT NOTARIZED STATEMENT WITH DOCUMENTATION, THAT IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME AS A RESULT OF THIS (I.E. AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY THEREBY CAUSING FATAL INJURY OR DEPLOYS WITHOUT CAUSE CAUSING INJURY) THEY ARE TO SUE GM. *TR
