2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500: airbag warning light

Filed Feb 9, 2017 · Airbags · 87,000 miles · FL

For approximately the last 4 years the airbag light has been on indicating an issue with the airbag system. Given all the airbag problems in recent years and the fact this seems to be a common problem with 2005 gm suvs and given airbags are vital safety equipment gm needs to provide owners with these problems a free fix or be forced to recall these vehicles immediately for repairs before alot of people get hurt or killed.

I turned my 2005 suburban on and the air bag light came on. I took it in to the chevy/gm dealer who said, "the right, front, air bag sensor was the cause." it would cost $375 to fix it. I did not get it fixed at that time. It is dangerous because the air bags are inoperable. The problem occurred at about 150,000 miles. From what I have seen this is a huge problem that needs to be address by the company.

Had to replace the sensor for the air bag. This should have been covered by general motors. I know that a lot of people would not have this problem fixed due to the cost. When the service air bag light comes on it deactivates the air bags. This is a major safety issue. We have a 2000 chevrolet tahoe in out family that has not had this problem. I feel there needs to be a recall.

I was driving on a trip to florida when at 65 MPH my speedometer kept increasing and pegged out at the 120 MPH mark. I pulled over to try and resolve the issue but to no avail it stayed stuck at the 120 MPH mark. When I restarted the vehicle all my cluster gauges were pegged out: oil, battery, temp, and even gas gauge. I also started getting info that my airbag system needed attention. Four wheel drive light came on just a different array of malfunctions came flying across my display. To this date my battery gauge is still pegged out my airbag light is on, service four wheel drive light still flashes inadvertently and now my drivers side heater and controls are not working correctly. Brought in to repair shop & they said no recall has been issued so my cost would run well over $1500.00. Ridiculous. Own up chevy fix this.

Vehicle was in shop one time all ready because air bag light came on. Took in for service they said loose ground all fixed. Then on 9/11/2006 I was involved in an accident. A driver failed to yield while making a left turn. I hit him broad side at 45 miles per hour. Smashed front end of my vehicle, smashed the side of his vehicle in buckling his dash and his vehicle flipped on its side. My air bags did not deploy on the vehicle. I contacted gm and they said everything is ok, they sent out a person to investigate and he states that everything is ok. But at the scene of the accident every police officer did not believe me when I told them the air bags did not deploy, nor did the paramedic, they had to go look for themselves and see because they thought that they should have gone off. I have pictures of both vehicles if you should need them. I feel there is a safety defect.
