I bought this truck from a used car dealership in blair, ne washington county. The dealership sold this truck to me with replaced airbags that didn't work. They replaced the original factory air bags with what now are marked Chevrolet and not GMC according to mechanical shop. Same mechanic expressed to me that this truck was in accident that not only bent the frame but also caused the original air bags to deploy. When I picked up truck after sale I asked the dealership owner why the light was on, he said his mechanic could fix it. His mechanic could only work Monday thru Thursday which made making any appointment impossible for me, so I took it to an authorized dealer to look at it and that is when I found the airbags had been replaced improperly. I filed a complaint with the ne department of vehicles and was told to file a federal complaint about the airbags. Thank you for your time.
