Description of the problem	Several months ago, my airbag light came on and didn't extinguish. I took my 1998 gmc extd. Cab pickup to the dealer and they completed repairs ($755. 14, even at a discounted rate). The problem was the sir coil intermittently was grounding, causing a short in the sdm module. My airbag has never deployed and the truck has never been involved in an accident. Since airbags were mandated back in 1998, i would have hoped that i would never have had a problem with that system! Seems to me this should be warranted for the life of the car, barring deployment from an accident. *jb
