Consumer states air bag warning light came on, he immediately took vehicle in to be inspected and was advised by dealership there was nothing wrong, according to the service manager they reset an indicator to solve the problem, then on 04/13/01 while driving on expressway, the driver's side air bag deployed without warning, causing consumer to lose control of vehicle and swerve into another lane erratically, consumer is requesting that every air bag be re-certified or replaced and a complete safety inspection.
Recall 00 v 217 000 repaired on 09-mar-2001. While driving SRS light illuminated, and interior lights flashed on and off. Consumer had vehicle towed to dealer.
First problem was the battery short on 5-26-99, then on 6-15-99 air bag light came on, stating to service air bag. Vehicle was taken to dealer and I was advised that there was no problem with airbag system. On 7-7-99, air bag light came on again. Vehicle taken to dealer and again advised that nothing was wrong,l just a faulty light. They also stated that the air bag would never deloy unlesss there was an accident. On 7-29-00 while stopped at a red light. Airbag service light came on, and air bagsdeloyed immediately on drivers side door. Vehicle taken to dealer and left for 27 days. Gmc stated this has never happened to another vehicle. As I can see they lied to me, it has happened. I have a lawsuit pending with them since 11-29-99 requesting they buy back my vehicle. Nothing has been heard from since. On 11-1-99 fuel gauge sensor went out and had to be replaced. All these problems started with a battery short on 5-26-99 and the computer has a mind of its own. Please note: the air bag has only deployed once. However, I had two previous warnings.
Suspension feels loose-found:left front strut leaking,strut mount loose ,link loose and noisy.replaced left front strut,strut mount and stabilizer link.realined front wheels.also,because air bag light on intermittently replaced passenger side impact sensor module due to a short. Dealer support was excellent and appreciated.

Air bags: side/window
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of the side impact sensor modules have quality problems that can cause an inadvertent deployment of the driver or passenger side impact air bags. These side air bags deploy with less force than a frontal air bag and are designed to minimize the risk of serious injury.
- Risk
- However, an occupant can receive some injury from a deployment.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the driver and passenger side impact sensing modules. If the vehicle has had the side air bags temporarily disconected, the temporary disconnect will be removed before replacing the side impact sensing modules.
