Wire broke going to the side impact sensor for the air bag causing it to be inoperable. Wire was in the loom for the drivers door wiring harness.
Front air bag impact sensors corroded and did not deploy air bag in accident.
The check airbag message was displayed when vehicle was in motion, took vehicle to mechanic where he diagnosed and replaced corroded front impact sensor. 2 years later and the same thing happened but now I had to replace both front airbag sensors. Vehicle currently has 106,000 miles.

My 2008 GMC 1500 sierra "service air bag" light came on when I started my truck a few weeks ago. Finally was at the dealer, romeo GMC in kingston, NY. They ran diagnostics testing and advised me that my front air bag sensor sensor was bad and it cost me $469 to replace it! the service guy said 'they are in a bad place and get damaged from the weather etc and they just go like that!' really? that's ok for a safety design? also, how can this small sensor cost so much?? is it just dealership gouging parts prices? I am seeing online that I could have bought an after market product and replaced it myself- a 10mm bolt holds it on! was I just robbed? maybe I can return it ad drive without the air bag!.
