I offer same complaint as filed under NHTSA id# 10485141. A service air bag warning light came on in my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado truck. I went to the dealer who sold it to me to have it serviced & was told the right front impact sensor was corroded & had to be replaced. This was a safety issue, and stated to dealer that gm should cover the cost of repair. The dealer said no & that there was no recall on record. I agree completely with the comments provided under above-referenced compliant: "I called gm & was told that this was an environmental issue & the salt air in my area caused the corrosion and gm was not responsible. I told the person that I was talking to that apparently gm must be aware of the problem if they know that the salt air corrodes the sensors. I mentioned the fact that since there is a problem that the air bag could possible inflate while driving & cause the driver to swerve off the road or into another vehicle thus causing death or serious injury. I was then given a file number (71-1127296694) and told the matter would be investigated. I later received a phone call from gm,said looked into complaint & since it was an environmental issue gm was not responsible for repairs. I then stated to him that I was aware that Chrysler recently had a recall of vehicles to be repaired because the airbag sensors were corroding. I was told that gm. Had no such recall. My argument is that this is a safety issue. The corroded sensors could malfunction and cause the air bags to deploy thus causing the driver to swerve and potentially get into a serious accident. Chrysler corp. Must have realized this because they had a recall. " this is a potentially serious situation. Please investigate. Jhb.

I had a service air bag warning light t on in my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck. I went to a dealer to have it serviced. And was told that the right front impact sensor was corroded and had to be replaced. I felt that this being a safety issue that general motors should cover the cost of repair. I called g. M. And was told that this was an environmental issue and the salt air in my area caused the corrosion and g. M was not responsible. I told the person that I was talking to that apparently g. M. M,ust be aware of the problem if they know that the salt air corrodes the sensors. Furthermore I mentioned the fact that since there is a problem that the air bag could possible inflate while driving and possibly cause the driver to swerve off the road or into another vehicle thus causing death or serious injury. I was then given a file number (71-1127296694) and told the matter would be investigated. I later received a phone call from a g. M. Rep. Who said he looked into my complaint and since it was an environmental issue g. M. Was not responsible for repairs. I then stated to him that I was aware that Chrysler recently had a recall of vehicles to be repaired because the airbag sensors were corroding. I was told that g. M. Had no such recall. My argument is that this is a safety issue. The corroded sensors could malfunction and cause the air bags to deploy thus causing the driver to swerve and potentially get into a serious accident. Chrysler corp. Must have realized this because they had a recall. G. M. Does not seem to care and is apparently waiting until there are serious accidents and they are forced to recall vehicles. I also wonder if g. M. And Chrysler use the same vendor to purchase the sensors. Most likely they do as there are probably not many company's that manufacture them. I feel this is potentially serious situation plus the fact that another automobile manufacturer recognized the problem perhaps your agency should investigate.
