Consumer Description

THE AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS ON 2011 GMC TERRAINS BUT WHEN I LOOKED IT UP IT SAYS MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THIS, IN COMBINATION WITH THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, HAS AFFECTED MORE GMCS THAN THE COMPANY CARES TO ADMIT. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2011 GMC TERRAINS. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT AND AIR BAG WARNING BELL CONSTANTLY COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING MY CAR. IT COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR AND CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF THE ENTIRE TIME I'M DRIVING.
