I bought the car a 2007 in September of 2012 with 50000 miles. When driving varies speeds and when the drivers seat is moved the air bag light will come on at random. Every time it comes on know it lasts longer than before. Have talked to several people and they said that if its on and I get in a accident the airbags may not work" wouldn't that be a safety issue"

I own a 2007 Buick Lucerne. Since I retired the car would sit in the garage for a few days whereupon it would go dead. I called onstar and had the car jump started but it kept happening. So the dealer finally took it in and tested the draw. They found a defective onstar module and another module connected to the door and lights that were bad. It has been fixed and so far so good until today when I was driving down the road and it just stopped dead. So I do not know the outcome of this failure yet. The only problem being it is now 2,000 miles out of warranty.

I parked my 2007 Lucerne for 17 days while on vacation. When I returned, the battery was dead. There was nothing plugged into the car like a phone charger or anything else. After charging the battery, I took it to local dealer who kept it for over two weeks, performed a parasitic draw test, and basically found nothing except a 201ma current draw over 7 days. The battery and charging systems checked ok. They couldn't tell me when or for how long that 201ma draw lasted or what caused it. They claimed that since they could not duplicate the problem, they can't fix it since it's "within specs" at this time. I brought car home and let it sit untouched/undriven for 3 more weeks to try to duplicate it being parked on my vacation, and there was no battery discharge problem. However, I feel I can't trust the car to be parked, unused, for any length of time (more than 2 weeks) for fear the battery will discharge again.
