 I bought a used fleet 2009 traverse and the airbag light comes on constantly. i didn't pay much attention to it, but now it's really aggravating me. i took it to the dealer but they wanted to charge me for checking it. i told them that i had mentioned before but the light had turned off again so not much attention was placed on it. this is a big concern for me. also this vehicle has the habit of rolling back when i park or on a slight incline this is scary!!!!!
