The front airbag impact sensor when they stop working will not work on impact. You can get them from GMC because they stopped making them and you can not find them on the aftermarket. How can a company discontinue a safety part.

Air bag light on, light on gear shift real dim
Air bag impact sensor under radiator cracked and is no bad
The airbag light is on. I took it to the chevy dealership on battlecreek rd, the service clerk said they do not work on vehicles with over 150k miles. How do I get the airbag serviced.
The service air bag soon light came on months before the national recall was announced. It is still on, yet my 2005 is not included in the recall. How am I supposed to get my truck through state inspection with that light on? It should be included in the recall.
Giving me a message that says service air bag. Also having problems with instrument panel lights fading out.
I have had a "service air bag" light on for several years now. I have owned the truck since new and it has never been in an accident. From what I have heard it is a driver's side airbag connection issue and if there is an accident the airbag won't activate. After reading about the recall on the 2007 models on up I was surprised and disappointed that my year is not involved in that recall as it sounds like the same safety defect. Mileage on my truck is only 81,000 miles. The truck was stationary and just started when the light first came on and it's been on ever since.
The airbag warning light stays on. Anytime the engine is running.
Low mileage 2005 truck. At just under 50,000 miles passenger airbag dash light came on (nov. 2018). Performed protocol according to manual and it turned off. Came back on same day after moving passenger seat to clean. Dealership in missoula montana claimed needed passenger airbag replacement, cost over $800.00. Admitted not a problem mechanically that would affect the truck if did not replace. After reading on this site the reliability of the air bags in this truck, not worth it to me. Mileage today march 2019 little under 51,000.
