Description of the problem | The front airbag impact sensor has failed. The housing has cracked and the bolt that secures it is corroded. This seems to be a very common defect with this make and model of truck. I'm concerned that this will cause my airbag to deploy unabated. Gm has not issued a recall on this part as of yet, but this is in my opinion a serious manufacturers defect in design of this part. I refuse to pay the nearest gm dealer $350 to replace a defective restraint system part. |
