Air bag light has been going off and on for 2 yrs. Ive taken it to the dealership multiple times. In fact, I took it 4 times because they said they fixed it, drive off dealer lot and the air bag light goes off again. Finally fixed it. 6 months later air bag light comes on again! the air bag light goes off and on all the time. It seems to be a wiring issue or loose fitting but dealer cant seem to fix it permanently. Sometimes the light will go on when I start the car first thing in the am while im parked in the garage overnight. Sometimes it goes off while driving-doesnt seem to matter if car is in motion or not. Ive had to pay to have dealer "fix" it but its not fixed whatever is the issue. I estimate that air bag light has gone on at least a dozen times and most recently last month.
I purchased this vehicle used and within 3 months my airbag service light came on. I told back to the dealer and I was told my extended warranty would not cover the the airbag service. This is a safety issue and should be covered by the manufacture with the massive airbag recall a few years ago. Now my car dashboard is getting very dim while driving and then brightens and again the dealership is unable to find the problem and this is also a safety problem, with no recall.

Ac won't come on or just shuts off while driving, sometimes the service airbag warning comes on, sometimes it sets a check engine light code P0119, if the recirculate button is not on then it lights up and ac compressor shuts off, pull over out of traffic and shut the car off and let everything come to a complete stop and restart the car, sometimes every thing clears up but sometimes it takes several restarts to get car to function properly. Happens driving on road or stationary. Checked battery but seems to be ok, checked fuse box and the entire fuse box is loose, the hold down screws in the fuse box appear to be stripped and will not tighten, shimmed the box to the frame to prevent it from shaking around in the engine compartment. Car was purchased from lakeside Chevrolet in rockwall, tx as a certified used car, it has been back to the dealer for the service airbag issue but they did not resolve the problem. Has been happening every since we purchased the vehicle. Keep looking for recalls but nothing yet. There are considerable complaints about this problem or similar problems. The problem with carrying this vehicle back to dealer is that they don't seem to know how to fix it. General Motors should recall this vehicle and repair it because it is obviously factory defective.
My [xxx] daughter (permit driver) driving to school for extra community service hours (on a Sunday) and the car started to shake and not accelerate, the traction control, check stability control flashing. Very dangerous situation for a [xxx] driver. We pulled over and I took the wheel, same thing happened, we barely made it back home. Also, airbag light comes on randomly, had this serviced due to recall and the problem has started again. Frustrated mom.

I just bought this car on July 17 2018, 4 days later I got the "service air bag" light illuminated on my car's dashboard, I have no clue if this is something serious and need to be fixed immediately or I have to wait so it might go off! not sure what would be the cost if I decide to fix it!
In 8/2017 I took my 2014 Chevy Traverse with 42K miles to shop for service airbag light that came on. Since that time, in the past 10months I have had at dealer 6 times for the same thing. I currently am having the same issue and cannot get Chevrolet to call me back to fix airbag issue once and for all. I have left several message and no reply from Chevy. This is a safety issue and it is putting my families safety at risk. I am not very happy that it has not been fixed properly in the 6 times it has been at a GM dealer nor the fact Chevy does not care and will not call me back. They should have to buy back this car if they cannot fix it correctly.
Service air bag flashes intermittently. There are a lot of complaints of this problem all over the internet, but no recall has been issued for my vehicle, even though recalls have been issued for other Chevy Traverse.
Air bag warning for front passenger seat comes on sometimes, and may go away when a passenger sits, or adjusts the seat, however, it does not always go off when the passenger tries to adjust his position, or the position of the seat. It happens sometimes when in motion, or sitting still, with or without someone in the passenger seat. Driveway, city street, highway, expressway, makes no difference. Who knows, may be a loose wire, pressure sensor, or something else unknown. Dealer wants $105 just to check it out. Other GM vehicles ever have an air bag problem with passenger seat air bag subject to recall?
Air bag light intermittently illuminates while stationary and in motion on any type of road. Dealer says it is an issue with a seat beat retractor. Air bag light on = air bags will not deploy N the event of an accident. The quote was over $500 to fix this issue.
My air bag light keeps coming on. I'm thinking this should be a manufacturer warranty? this is a very big issue as it involves the safety of all passengers in the Chevy Traverse. Please look into this immediately!!
"service air bag" message displayed and airbag light is on in the car's information center. The message just came on when I started my car in the morning. I've had this car for 10 months and it has been involved in no accidents.
