I am the one owner of this car. since day one nothing but problems. air bag lights on dash illuminated, driver and passenger, warning have remained on no matter if your buckled in or not. it is supposed to signal if not buckled in, i have only heard it do this twice in the past seven years. i wear my seatbelt 99.99% of the time but have to tell my husband to put his on, i wish it would beep or do what is supposed to so i wouldn't have to beep. we took to dealer at about 1000 miles and was told " not to worry about it " when seatbelts are engaged the airbag warning signals on dash and center console still will be flashing. airbag warnings never turn off ! i feel gm should include this in the airbag recall, same parts- we all know. *tr
