Problems with 2000 GMC Yukon AIR BAGS

My husband was driving our 2000 yukon a week and a half ago, and while completely stopped at a stop sign not two miles from our home, the passenger side curtain airbag deployed. no one was in the passenger seat at the time, and thankfully no one was injured, however i am incredibly worried about the integrity of the vehicles safety. i have two children in car seats, and my infant son sits directly behind the passenger seat in a rear facing car seat. not only would the incredibly loud 'gunshot' sound have possibly damaged his ears, but the smoky aftermath the car was filled with would have been terrible for both children's lungs. airbags are an incredibly important safety feature that is unparalleled when they operate correctly. obviously there is faulty wiring or sensors in this model suv for the side seat airbag to go off not only when there was no one sitting in the passenger seat, but when the car was at a complete stop. my concern is with the rest of the vehicles airbag sensors, because i am not confident that they are not going to spontaneously go off while i am driving. we contacted our local dealership with the problem immediately after the airbag deployed, however it was a sunday and we were told no one was available to help us. a vehicle inspection was scheduled for tuesday, the 21st, and my husband received a call from the inspector later that night to answer questions about the incident. we were told by the inspector that we would be receiving a call from gmc with the details and outcome of the inspection. it is now thursday the 23rd, and even after two phone calls i still have not heard back from anyone. i have now been without a vehicle for twelve days, and still cannot drive it because i am not comfortable transporting my children. i feel very strongly that gmc is responsible for remedying the problem and assuring me that this will not happen again under any premature circumstances. *tr

Dt: the contact stated that while traveling 31 mph on a gravel road in dry conditions the contact lost control of the vehicle and it struck a tree. upon impact, the airbags did not deploy. the front passenger had to be extracted from the vehicle. the dashboard collapsed into the front seat along with the firewall. there were 3 injuries, and a police report was taken. the vehicle was totaled. a gm representative retrieved the black detection box, verified the speed of 31 mph, and determined that the airbags should have deployed. gm purchased the salvaged vehicle from the insurance company and destroyed it. *ak

Air bag light appears on dashboard until vehicle is turned off. dealership is aware of problem.*ak

Air bag indicator has lit on many occasions for last several weeks. dealer claims they cannot find a problem or make it light, although there was an error code in the vehicle computer. dealer attempted to charge me for checking as extended warranty would not cover. we drive in fear that one or both air bags may deploy at any time due to a short circuit, causing a major accident.*ak

Frontal collision at 40-45 mph, neither airbag deployed. driver suffered head injury. *ak *yd

The airbag did not deploy in a head on collision resulting in injuries. nlm

Rear windows inoperable 3 times/right front seat belt locks up, have to unbelt to get slack so passengers reluctant to use belt/transmission has trouble finding first gear/rear end hums/front end feels "loose" after control arms replaced twice/tires squeal at very low speeds/accel pedal stuck to floor, then started coming apart/air bag warning light came on until 3rd repair/leather seats split at seam, repairs sloppy.

Airbag light comes on intermittently. has happened 3 times and is now at dealer. dealer is having problem with airbag sensor clips, which keep failing after replacement. dealer considers this a safety issue as airbag could deploy while driving. *ak
