#1 every time I move the drivers seat my airbag light comes on saying that the airbag is disabled. #2 the car's traction will act like I'm on ice (even on a hot 90 degree July day). The traction light comes on and the engine will gear down, to the degree of loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking. This has happened several times while driving long distances on the highways I found recalls pending for these problems and my VIN # is not on the list. Well I'm telling you now this is very dangerous and very scary. Someone is going to get injured or killed!! official NHTSA page concerning recall #16V507000 official NHTSA page concerning recall #14V355000

Haven't been in an accident and yet the service airbag light has come on in the car. It's ridiculous how many issues the Impala has and yet there are no recalls.

The service airbag soon light is on and the passenger side airbag is not sensing that a person is in the passenger seat. The first time the light came on was sitting in my garage. This is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed.

I was going home from work in the middle of 4-lane rush hour traffic going across an intersection. With no warning, no lights coming on or anything my car began to lose acceleration and stopped then it just would not move at all! the tow truck had a hard time getting the car onto his truck as the wheels locked up..............no warning lights, never slipped never had any transmission issues.

Air bag check light goes off and on. While driving on local or highway roads the lights will flash and the check air bag light will be displayed or if already displayed will turn off. This has been happening for over a month now!
- Freedom, PA, USA
I heard a very loud clicking sound from my parked vehicle. Upon entering, I noticed that the passenger air bag on indicator light was lit. I pressed it in with my finger and the light went from on to off. I drove for a few minutes, then stopped the vehicle and restarted. The passenger air bag light stayed on.
