2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 with 50513.0 miles
12/15/2020 - noticed 'service air bag' warning in morning as i pulled into parking for work. When leaving for lunch no warning on - as i pulled out of parking warning appeared again - as i leaned forward to read - loud 'bang' and was pulled back into seat by hard retraction of seatbelt. Followed by smell of burning. Parked car, struggled to get out of seatbelt - looked around for damage - nothing - only seatbelts stuck retracted. Drove home carefully - plugged in obd 2 reader - four codes; B0015-04, B0022-00, B0052-04, B101D-00. First two indicate seat belt pretensioner deployed, third is deployment command, final is ecu hardware. Took to ase shop and was informed that the control unit indicated a collision - there was no collision - and belts were deployed. Asked what caused this and response was computer error....I am just thankful i was moving at 5 mph vice 65 on the highway. Gonna cost $2500 to fix replacing seatbelts and srs control unit, and a few day to get over a bruised shoulder

2011 GMC ACADIA with 80637.0 miles
I took our 2011 Gmc Acadia, mileage 80,637, to the dealership on 12/16/2017 because the display showed "service air bag." the service technician reported that he found dtc B0022 and B0015 stored in sdm, tested circuits, good. He found excessive resistance in both front seat belt anchor pretensions and recommended replacement of both front anchor pretensioners, cpa connectors with leads and reprogram the sdm. Repair estimate of $1,164.51. Charged $125 to diagnose. It was explained to me that the pretensioners are connected to and communicate with the air bag. In addition, the service technician found the front engine mount weak. Repair estimate of $447.85. The seat belt pretensioners and "service air bag" appear to be significant safety issues. I contacted Gmc on 04/23/2018 to request repair assistance and to inquire if there was a recall, case # 8-4111443314. I was advised that i would have to pay out of pocket.
