Air Bag problem #1

Tilt sensors, upper air bags deployed almost causing a catastrophic crash. I did report to gm but I have not received answers yet. Vehicle deployed air bags without warning.

Air Bag problem #2

Bought the truck in 2021. Replaced both outside mirrors during warranty. At about 44000 miles the passenger mirror malfunctioned again. The mirror resets to downward position and when you restart vehicle you need to readjust mirror each time. This is very dangerous especially while pulling the 5th wheel. Received a warning lite for a safety restraint failure. Took the truck to the dealer and was told the passenger side air bag was defective and it was a $1700 repair! defective at 44000 miles? are air bags only supposed to last such a short time? this is a serious safety issue that should be addressed and covered by all manufacturers warranties!.
