2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Air Bags Problems

For several years now, when someone sits on the front passenger seat, the airbag light will intermittently come on. It also comes on if the person gets out of the seat. I took the vehicle to a dealership and they charged me over $100 to diagnose, and said the cable was loose and they fixed it. The next day it started doing this same thing again, but it doesn't happen when the dealer looks at the vehicle to replicate and fix the issue.

The airbag light on the dash keeps coming off and on randomly. Stays on for a period of time or goes off after a couple seconds. Also for electrical, I was driving down Hwy and the vehicle died and turned back on within 5 seconds. Had to jiggle battery cables for it to come back on. I had two small children in the vehicle and I don’t feel it’s safe to drive any longer.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH IS MAINLY ON.... 95%+ OF THE TIME.... NO INFORMATION ON CODE READER, TO TELL WHY OR WHICH AIRBAG IS MAKING LIGHT COME ON....AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MEANS THAT ALL WOULDN'T WORK OR JUST ONE OR???

VEHICLE HAS 140,000 MILES ON IT AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT AS WELL AS "SERVICE AIR BAG" SHOWING UP IN MY INDICATOR IS ON CONSTANT. MY MECHANIC IS STATING THIS FALLS UNDER AN EXISTING RECALL #15536, BUT YET MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT SPECIFIC RECALL SO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO REPAIR THIS. MY MECHANIC STATES THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS THE ISSUE. THIS LIGHT INITIALLY STARTED AS JUST FLASHING ON OCCASION, NOW IT IS ON SOLID, NEVER GOES OFF. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY VEHICLE. NO REASON AS TO WHY THIS WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOME AN ISSUE.
