The Airbag Light On Stays On After It Is Started Sometimes On My 2011 Chevy Aveo

This morning and afternoon the airbag light stayed on after almost a minute. I turned off the car and restarted it after both cases and it went away. Is the airbag going to randomly deploy?

The air bag(s) should NOT randomly deploy, so rest assured.
The 'air bag light' being on longer than normal, after the vehicle is started, is usually, but not always, a loose or pinched connection, but could also be a bad clock spring, or sensor, or a number of other things. If this keeps happening, find a local trusted shop, or the dealer, to diagnose the issue, and get this addressed.
