My husband was stopped at a light when the side airbags deployed. we contacted gmc they sent someone to investigate. that person said due to some water leaking in on them is what caused it. nothing was wet though. now they cannot do anything to help. seems like if they know they have a defect in the front airbags it is a chance the side ones are also bad. they hang like curtains. have not been able to drive it since the seatbelts locked also. the cost to repair would be $6000. this is something that was no fault of ours. there has been so much time put into trying to get this resolved. we cant e the only ones this happened to. suggestion?
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. while driving unknown speeds, the seat belts failed to fasten. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact called sands chevrolet (16991 w waddell rd, surprise, az 85388, (623) 428-1865) and was informed to schedule a diagnostic appointment. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. the failure mileage was 181,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. while the vehicle was being cleaned, the passenger side air bag deployed. prior to the failure, the seat belt and air bag warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 50,000. the vin was unavailable.
My service man was pulling out of parking lot at store when air bags exploded and seat belts locked. he did not hit anything and was only going about 10 mph when this happened. took to local dealer to see if they could fix it. they said yes , but we would have to pay for it. we could contact the manufacturer if necessary. the bill was $1413.89. (parts $798.00--labor 562.59 tax 48.19). we had to get it fixed as it is illegal to be on the road without seat belts (or air bags). we feel these are defective parts an d we should be reimbursed by the manufacturer.. this is an unsafe vehichle!!!! thanks
Drivers side seat belt will not lock in to the receiver on side of seat. dealer said i may have to pay for a diagnoses and replacement plus parts. i say it's a safety issue and should be covered for free. wonder if other people have had same problem. *tr
