8 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 06/17/2015

On may 29th my service air bags light came on. In talking with other chevy silver owners of the same year and around that year it seems this is common. I paid $521. 18 to get these air bag sensors replaced on 17 jun15 at a dealer in harrisburg PA. , because I was told without the sensors the air bags would not go off. This is a safety issue I am being told b y other drivers they are just driving around with the service air bag sensor light on. Thats up to them. Also on 21 Jan 14 I had to have all the brake lines replaced because they had rusted and would not be safe to drive the truck costing $720. 00. I was told it was because of northeastern winters and road salts, which I find to be a unexceptable answer to the problem. On 23 Dec 03 I paid $356. 96 to replace dash cluster which also is a safety problem. I these safety problems with the Silverados are be ignored. My question is how many people had be affected or injured by these problems?.

They vehicle was towed to the dealership. A week later, the consumer received a call from the dealership stating the explosion was caused by a poor design in the galleys in the floor, they went from the center of the truck to the drivers side door under a rubber mate. One of the galleys went through a rubber grommet which allowed water to leak into a compartment storing very high pressure compact cylinders for the air bag and seat belts.
