BUICK Complaints

2008 BUICK LACROSSE - AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON NEAR THE SPEEDOMETER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL STAY ON FOR A COUPLE MINUTES THEN SHUT OFF. THERE ARE 74,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND I JUST BOUGHT IT USED FROM A BUICK DEALERSHIP. I'M ASSUMING THE PROBLEM WAS THERE WITH PREVIOUS OWNERS AS WELL SINCE IT HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR HOME AFTER PURCHASING. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THERE ISN'T ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT ALL. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AS WHEN THAT LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY STORIES OF MODULES AND OTHER THINGS BEING REPLACED BUT IT NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CONCERNS ME.
