Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2003 GMC Yukon

On 9/16/14, I got into my car and started the engine. Upon starting the engine, both airbags blew up. There was no accident or impact, they just blew up. There was nobody in the passenger seat and that one blew up too. I reported this incident to gm and they investigated it and have denied paying to repair damages. They say there was corrosion in the airbag sensor. Nowhere in the owners manual does it say that I am responsible for maintaining these connections. This is a life safety device that should be assembled with the highest level of care a precision. Thisnis not the responsibilty or the owner or operator, it is faulty equipment and should be the responsibilty of gm. Now I have a car that I cannot drive, it has two blown airbags. It would appear that gm has had this problem ongoing, there are lots of complaints out there and it needs to be addressed. I find it hard to beleive that corrosion could cause deployment of airbags at any moment. I could have been driving when this happened and could have caused a serious accident and or injury.

Defect. Right passenger air bag side module (front seat) was defective and replaced at my total cost of $476. 10 on 4-20-07. The dashboard indicator light alerted me around 4-2-08 that the problem has resurfaced (the replacement part is defective), after only 5,500 miles of vehicle usage. A passenger is in the seat for somewhat less than half of those miles--a defect after less than a year and less than 2,300 miles of equivalent service. The specific nature of the problem was identified by an independent experienced service technician. I should have never had the first problem, let alone the 2nd.

Consumer complained about driver's side air bag. Air bag light came on and remained on. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer 5 times. Dealer replaced the air bag twice, and replaced the coil to the air bag twice, and reset the error code 5 times. However, the problem recurred.
