I was tboned January 9, 2023 the side impact airbags didn't deploy nor does it seem the seatbelts engaged. There were 2 side impacts to the passengers side zero airbags deployed. It was part of a recall and recall work had been completed almost immediately in 2014 (gm website screenshots attached for your easy reference for the 2 recalls showing completed). Yet, they still failed! no indication they had an issue nor would fail when needed as they did. The driver of the other vehicle was seemingly going a high rate of speed when she failed to stop for the red light her direction and tboned me as I was traveling through an intersection for a green light my travel path. My vehicle was totaled, part of the total report attached indicated "diagnose airbags" as they didn't deploy. (screenshots of a gm autobody shop estimate line item as well as carfax report attached for your easy reference) multiple injuries sustained, including a serious tbi.
My service air bag light is on. The dealership says it’s a sensor for which I will be responsible for replacing out of pocket. They stated my air bags will not deploy properly. As the faulty sensor is a manufacturing flaw why is GMC not responsible for the replacement?.
Service air bag light and blind spot detection system lights are on.
I brought the car to the dealer due to an airbag warning light on my dash. My VIN, regardless of identical issues to those noted in the dealer recalls, was not included in them. The items below were noted by the dealer as requiring immediate attention and estimated to cost $2,400. Current mileage: 95,635 - airbags lr and rs side impact sensor faulty. If not replaced the airbag system will not function correctly at the time of impact, preventing the airbags from deploying, and putting the passengers of the vehicle in harm's way. Warning light on dash alerts to sensor's invalid data from the sensor. - tail light casings fill with water causing an electrical short and the bulbs to burn out. This also causes a double-time ticking when you try the turn signal, alerting you to the issues.
The airbag error message has been displaying on my dash board for awhile now. On November, 2021, I took it to the nearest GMC dealer and repairs to the connector were charged to the extended warranty. One month later the error message reappeared and disappeared after one day. It kept on like that for awhile until July 2022 when I took it to the dealers and they said they fixed it, next day the same error message. Now the dealers are lying that what they worked on was drivers seat side bag and that this time around, the issue is with the bottom part of driver's seat. . . . . My wife and small kids use this car for commute to and from school and this poses a huge risk and danger to my young family everyday.
Light “service air bag” came on and will not go off going at speed of 10 mph.
I was made aware the air bags are the ones that can if the expand injure the person setting in front of the air bag or it can be fatal.
Air bag service light is on. Defective wiring harness. Transmition issues as per a common complaint on this vehicle. The vehicle shows all of these issues both when running parked and while in motion on all types of roadways.
I just purchased this vehicle. It shows a "service air bag" message. This was covered by a recall. Gm says the recall was completed on this vehicle. But gm also issued a sb indicating some recall repairs may have been faulty. I believe this was faulty in the case of my vehicle. A GMC dealer looked at it and indicated that the work was not done properly. GMC is refusing to correct the problem.
Air bag service light keeps coming on.
Service air bag warning lite comes on. Dealership advises $12-1400 in repair costs. Have had other electrical issues with car. Spent almost $1000 replacing wiring harness to side detection. Had to replace most of dash wiring harness due to water damage which couldn't determine if manufacturing issue or accident repair. That was about $3000. Now after checking kelly blue book potential recall comes up. Don't know if reported prior or fixed by prior owner. Too much coincidence that comes up now and goes from passenger side to now driver side. . Dealership got light to go off for a while. Late last fall came back on again.
My car keeps popping up the �service air bag� light. I have had it looked at several times. I was told that the connector needs to be cleaned. They have been cleaned but it keeps coming on. I see there was a recall for certain models but my car doesn't have any recalls currently. It will come on while sitting idle, driving, parker, doesn't matter. Help!.
I was coming off a red light and was hit by another vehicle on the drivers side / front drivers side of the car. The other vehicle was driving at least 55 mph as that is the posted speed. I had two children in the back. One in a rear facing car seat. The seat belts did not engage. The car seat flipped to the side . No side or front air bags went off.
