Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

A battery icon comes on my dash with a message about the battery charging system needs to be serviced. It does not matter if the vehicle is stationary or driving this comes on for long enough to read then goes off. The tires pressure sensor is giving a messages as well about needing servicing. The driver's seatbelt latch has stopped allowing the clip to enter I was parked at the time this happened. I have since then tried to spray white lithium to get it moving since I did not have wd40. There was no success. I still have not been able to get the airbag recall fixed.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the sensor that activated the air bags was fractured. The fracture prevented the air bags from deploying. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor was installed too tight, which caused it to fracture. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 76,569.

Having vehicle washed a "service air bag warning" lluminated. Scheduled service and dealer diagnosed front impact sensor defective. Part is visably defective with cracks and deformation present. Looks to have been defective for quite some time as a lot of corrosion is present. Called gm customer care to inform them part could have been defective from manufacturer. They claimed part was replaced due to wear. I stated this was unacceptable for a saftey related part to wear at this vehicle age. Part # 15297468.

There was an explosion and seat belts tightened up,the deployer for air bags went off, luckily the air bags didn't go off or I would have been in an accident. I complained to gm because there was a call back in 2010 of faulty sensors getting corroded because they are located in a damp area. Gm stated that they were no longer responsible because it was over five years old and over 100,000 miles. But my concern is how dangerous this is when you are just driving down the street and they go off causing a accident. I want gm to pay for repairs so that I can have seat belts again but they claim no responsibility and want me to pay $1200. 00 to $1500. 00 to have seat belts and air bags again.

I was hit from front driver side with a trail blazer. After repair about a couple weeks my airbag sensor lit up on my dash. I believe this may be from her hitting my truck front end. Maybe. When it was repaired they might of pulled or blew sensor . I paid for computer diagnosis and then told insurance company. They said I would get money. Back if related. To accident. They said not related and I won't get my money back. Also insurance. Said this is an occurring. Problem. With my 2008 truck. However not enough people complain so gm won't call a recall.

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 manufactuer's defect in design of this part. I refuse to pay the nearest gm dealer $350 to replace a defective restraint system part.

Service air bake light came on when I started the vehicle. After doing some research I have learned that the air bag sensors in the front of the vehicle are known for going bad. The oem part cracks and causes failure and loss of the air bag function. Also with research I learned that gm has done nothing to improve or fix this problem. I feel that gm should conduct a safety recall on these sensors so their product does not fail and the passengers inside the vehicle stay protected.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the front air bag warning lamps were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the air bag sensor and diagnostic module were corroded and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 57,500. The current mileage was 57,522. Updated 08/19/lj.

Air bag warning dash light came on and was directed to have air bag checked. Both front bumper crash sensors needed to be replaced. Part # ad7468xju9vy and ad7468xju9ww at a cost of $426. 50.

Both air bag sensors underneith the radiator have deteriorated andcracked in half.

The catalytic converter had strong sulfur smell after the first year. I complained to chevy dealer and was told there was no problem. By year three I complained for the third time again was told no problem the computer didn't show a code. I asked the mechanic to take it for a drive he returned saying the cat was junk it was replaced and I was told only to run top tier gas I did that but after about 8 months it smelled again my truck is just five years old and I need another converter, my power locks have each been replaced three times in second and third year. Now I need new airbag sensor and my truck has never been hit .
