| Periodically with an adult in the passenger seat the right airbag off light will illuminate. the passenger can move and bounce around on the seat without turning the light to on. this problem has been reported to the dealership on several occasions and each time they have found no problem. the last time was may 25, 2012 after i had taken the auto by the dealership while the off light was on and there was an adult in the passenger seat. the off light was confirmed by the service manager, but the technicians found no problem with the system. the only suggestion received was a *.pdf document from gm describing what to do when this occurs as follows: 1. turn vehicle off 2. remove any additional material from the seat..... 3. place the seatback in the fully upright position 4. have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with legs confortably extended 5. restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for two or three minutes after the on indicator is lit. not only are the preceeding instruction onorous and difficult to perform when in a normal driving scenario, it would seem that the necessity of performing these reset operations indicates a system fault that needs to be resolved, particularly if the air bag is indeed off when the indicator says it is off. also, the very fact that gm has deemed it necessary to issue these instructions indicate that the problem is known by gm. that being the case it is a safety hazard that needs to be fixed. | |||
