Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
I bought car from a used car dealer ship. And didn’t really notice it had an air bag light on the cluster . Because newer vehicles the our bags stay off for passenger side if know one is in the seat. So that’s what I thought it was til I had it put on a computer. And it say it’s a sensor for passenger side air bag
I purchased this vehicle from a dealer, I instantly fell in love with it. Loved the room and all the features. I have owed this for less than a year. One day I had noticed water coming into the vehicle. I noticed it mainly under the drivers floor. It looked minor since the rugs are black and I have rubber floor mats. The real issue happen while driving my airbag light came on and on my message center stated to service air bags. I didnt have a chance to address the issue since this happen around the holidays. I decided not to drive my gmc until I could get into a gm dealer. I called to make an appointment with a locale gm dealer 2nd week of january took time from work to address issue and to address the tailgate recall. I ask them to find out why my airbag light was on and if service was needed. It was determined by the tech that there was heavy water in my vehicle that leaked into the air bag modular that is located behind the glove box. It also damage the airbag sensor located in the floor under the rug. My husband advised a rep at the dealer that the issue may be the water channels. But per the tech it was determine that the front windshield was cause of the water per the tech the drains on my sunroof were working and was not the issue for the water. I was advised it was going to cost me $4200? To have the airbag floor sensors, airbag module replace, new rug installed and windshield replaced. It cost me $3200 to fix without having the rug replaced since my concern was the airbag communicated with the veh. No vehicle for 5 days, rug aired/dried by dealer and fixed. I got veh back on friday less than 72 hours later call to gm dealer. Water is still leaking in same location same issue, water is not resolved afraid that the water is going to cause a further damage to vehicle and airbag. Im surprised that there has never been a recall for this issue?
Gmc transmissions are crap, going on the third one. The airbag light is on for what the recall is for but gmc is denying the recall
