My wife was traveling back from store in a 08 GMC sierrra. As she approached red light both driver and passenger side air bags deployed! no one else in the vehicle. Paved road and traveling about 15-20 mph. The airbag on the passenger side destroyed the windshield on the passenger side. Looked like someone tried to throw a brick thru it.
The contact owns a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21v050000 (air bags). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall two years prior. The contact stated that while stopped at traffic light, the front passenger's side air bag deployed without warning or impact. The vehicle was taken to king Buick GMC (1700 w evans st, florence, SC 29501) and a case was opened with the manufacturer however, the manufacturer informed the contact that GMC was unable to assume responsibility for damages and to resolve matters through the insurance provider. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and the front passenger's side air bag was replaced. The contact notified the manufacturer when she received the recall notification. The manufacturer informed the contact that they were sticking by the results from the investigation in 2019, that produced no merit for the allegations. The failure mileage was 85,735. ## VIN passed ## GMC 2008 sierra ##.
My husband was stopped at a light when the side airbags deployed. We contacted GMC they sent someone to investigate. That person said due to some water leaking in on them is what caused it. Nothing was wet though. Now they cannot do anything to help. Seems like if they know they have a defect in the front airbags it is a chance the side ones are also bad. They hang like curtains. Have not been able to drive it since the seatbelts locked also. The cost to repair would be $6000. This is something that was no fault of ours. There has been so much time put into trying to get this resolved. We cant e the only ones this happened to. Suggestion?.
" takata recall" last memorial day, I had just left a stoplight traveling approx. 20 mph, when I was struck broadside by a Volvo sedan traveling between 50-60 mph. I have a slt model with front and side airbags and none of my airbags deployed.
