One morning came out to start my 2005 suburban and the service airbag message popped on along with the airbag light. Took it to my service center and was told it was a front impact sensor. Was also told this is a common problem on these vehicles. After doing some research online I have found this to be a very common problem rendering the airbag system inop. I believe gm needs to step up and fix the issue with the sensors as not everyone has $400 to fix a faulty sensor. The odometer on my suburban is 127,000 miles, so by no means driven hard.

Had to replace second faulty impact sensor for air bag on my vehicle. This is located in front of vehicle. The first replacement of the other sensor was july 26, 2013. This vehicle was never in a crash and had not damage to the front of the vehicle. When the air bag comes on they tell me my air bags no longer work. My family has a 2000 chevrolet tahoe that has never had this problem. I am sure there is a lot of people who would not have this item fixed.

The airbag system has stopped working 6 times since I bought my brand new suburban. The service air bag light comes on which means the system will not work if in an accident. The have attempted to fix it six times. Now gm stated that they will not do anything further and their solution is for me to buy a new car when my car is only 2.5 years old and only has 36,000 miles on it.
