2008 Gmc SIERRA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1159926
Internal NHTSA #	10689578
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	GMC
Model	SIERRA
Model Year	2008
File date	19/02/15
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My vehicle air bag sensors have been diagnosed as faulty. The dealership indicated that both front air bag sensors are part of a known problem where the factory tightened the bolts too far making the sensors prone to crack and collect moisture. This moisture then freezes and the sensors need to be replaced. This repair is very costly at over $200 per sensor and both sensors need replaced. This doesn't include labor. This is definitely a safety issue and i don't know if the air bags will function properly if an accident were to happen. This seems to be an item that should be recalled.
