AIR BAG LIGHT WILL BE ON, OR FLASH PERIODICALLY WHEN ALREADY FASTENED. HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE LEFT SIDE OF STEERING COLUMN 7/27/18. CRUISE GOES IN AND OUT. DIM/BRIGHT LIGHT COMES ON WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL. IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS UP FROM TIME TO TIME WHERE KEY CAN'T BE REMOVED AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP OR YOU CAN REMOVE KEY BUT SWITCH IS STILL ENGAGED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION WHEN MOST INCIDENTS OCCURRED AND LOCKUPS OCCUR DEPENDING ON WHAT POSITION THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN (ADJUSTABLE). THE ELECTRICAL FIRE HAPPENED JUST AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY FROM A 30 MINUTE TRIP AFTER RELEASING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 4 BLOCKS FROM HOME. CFD WAS CALLED AND THEY DISMANTLED THE COLUMN, EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. I WAS BLESSED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!

TAKATA RECALL, SAME AS OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG CAN BE DEACTIVATED WHEN SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE PANEL INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS ALL WHILE DRIVING, I CAN BE DRIVING FOR AN HOUR AND THEN THE LIGHT COMES ON, OR BE DRIVING FOR AN HOUR WITH THE LIGHT ON AND THEN THE LIGHT GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON THEN GOES RIGHT BACK OFF. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY CONSISTENCY. SOMETIME SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN IT DOES THIS AND SOMETIME THE SEAT IS EMPTY.

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
