2014 GMC ACADIA with 55100.0 miles

On saturday evening august 3, 2019 my wife, who was driving our 2014 Gmc Acadia, reported to me that a red air bag warning light and the message "service air bag" came on and remained on while driving. On sunday august 4, the warning light and message went off during the day when i was driving the vehicle, but later came on when my wife drove the vehicle during the evening. On monday august 5 while i was driving the Acadia, both the warning light and message "service air bag" came on and stayed on while driving. On monday august 5 i drove the Acadia to a gm dealership as soon as it opened. The dealership said there were two diagnosis codes for two separate failures relating to the air bags. The first was code B0022 (which the dealership said was related to a wiring failure). The dealership advised this failure code of B0022 was covered under warranty pursuant to gm special coverage adjustment number 15804. The dealership said that the second diagnosis code was B0058 (which the dealership said was a failed sensor). The dealership said that both of these problems needed to be fixed in order for the airbags to work. The dealership said, however, that replacement of the sensor was not covered under adjustment 15804. The dealership did offer a discounted charge for replacement of the failed sensor and as of this writing the vehicle remains at the dealership to make all repairs necessary for the air bags to work. I have advised the dealership of my intention to report the sensor failure issue to ntsb so that ntsb and gm are aware of it. I have also reported the above to gm customer assistance and am awaiting a return call from a "senior advisor". I have also requested that gm cover all costs relating to the sensor failure as well as the wiring failure as i have been informed by the dealership that both relate to the failure of the air bag system.

2008 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER with 92557.0 miles

While driving on a straight section of a city street at only 30 mph both side curtain airbags deployed. I was startled but quickly looked around to see if i had hit anything or had been hit by another car. I was still moving forward and as soon as safely possible pulled the car over and got out to inspect what had happened. There was no collision with any other object or car and the airbags had deployed without warning. The airbag light had not been on and the car was driving normally. I called my insurance company and reported the incident and requested a tow. The insurance adjuster has since determined that since there has been no collision that the cause must be from a manufacturer's defect. The body shop has run the codes from the on board computer and they are B0051,B0058,B0062,B0065,B0070, and u7300. Except for the u7300 the rest are stating the obvious that the airbags and seat belt tensioners have deployed. This is a very serious safety concern because if i had been driving at highway speeds on a section of road that was curved i do not think that i could have maintained control of the vehicle.

2004 CADILLAC CTS with 87594.0 miles

Service airbag light and warning indicator came on when car is started. Took to gm certified dealership for service. Was advised code B0058- right front pretensioner defective on passenger seat belt buckle. The dealership advised that this part is no longer available from gm and therefore they wouldn't be able to make repairs. Also advised that the air bags are disabled and will not deploy. Was told to contact gm customer service. After 3 weeks of lengthy telephone conversations, still no help from gm. Searched every online website and this part is not available. Please advise what if anything can be done to stress the importance of this issue with gm.
