While driving on the highway or on city streets, the air bag light comes on an dings about every 20 seconds. I am able to stop the ding by pushing the button to disregard the message. It did this for about 2 weeks. It no longer dings but the air bag indicator light continuously stays lit and the "service airbag" light comes on when the car is started. 2011 Camaro v6, 100,000 miles Air bags · reported at 100,000 miles
