| Description of the problem | 2008 chevrolet tahoe 4x4 v8 5. 3l, check air bag light came on during a routine drive and no bags deployed. Checked with dealer and they wanted $300 to clear fault code b0083 for a front sensor. Looked online and many other gm vehicles have had similar issues with this safety related device. Since it is of safety concern and there has never been an accident with the vehicle i would like the nhtsa to investigate gm airbag sensor component failures of vehicles with less than 150k miles. |
