WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD IN FLORIDA, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF MY 2008 BUICK LACROSSE. THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AT THE TIME & HAD THEIR SEAT BELT FASTENED. THIS OCCURS EVEN IF NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AT ANY SPEED, EVEN WHEN SITTING STILL AT A LIGHT, WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT OR NOT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
