2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU with 38580.0 miles

After receiving our 2010 Chevrolet Malibu back from the Chevrolet dealership after them having it for 3 months to correct recall 13036 the "service air bag" message comes on and off several times a week. It wasn't doing this until recall 13036 was done and the car delivered back to us. I visited my local Chevrolet dealership and they stated there is no recall about this.Chevrolet has stated there is no known issues with air bag or sensor problems with my model. Gm has several tech bulletins out on the 'service air bag" warning issues, but no recalls. Below are the tech bulletins on air bag service known problems.

2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE with 37000.0 miles

Dash airbag service light periodically illuminated. This condition (to date), has not resulted in logging any diagnostic fault codes, i.E.; dtc(s) B0012, B0013, B0016, B0016, B0019, B0020, B0022, B0023, B0026, B0033, B0040, B0042 or B0044, this illuminated service light fault is only rectified when either; a) i manually re-positioning the driver's seat until the light turns off, or b) i physically re-positioning the yellow (side-airbag) connector located under driver's seat. Either method results in only a temporary resolve, before the problem occurs again. I assume this issue could also be true for the passenger seat too. By service notice / vin#, gm acknowledges a potential / real airbag issue in my vehicle, dated may 2016. Based on the referenced may 2016 gm service notice, and further substantiated via phone communication, gm requires that a specific diagnostic fault code be present before gm will cover any service coasts to resolve this issue. This, while knowing the existence of an impending safety issue, described in the may 2016 service notice, is uniquely independent of any requirement there must be a diagnostic fault code detected. Gm needs to accept ownership of this acknowledged well described issue. In this instances, gm shifts coast responsibility for this potential/real safety issue to the car owner. My research indicates that this issue is not unique to the Chevrolet c6 Corvette, but rather systemic throughout gm model types. Current dealer estimate charges to perform fault diagnostics only (no fault code present), is > $290.00, plus tbd addition repair coasts. What's wrong with this scenario?
