Description of the problem	We practiced winching techniques with sno cty search and rescue. My vehicle was being winched up a hill. When we finished our practice, i notice the airbag warning light on the dash was illuminated. I took the vehicle to a gm dealership who sold hummers and had the vehicle diagnosed. They stated that the rollover sensor had indicated deployment. The vehicle did not roll, nor did the srs system deploy. They recommended replacement of the rollover sensor. I had them fully test the system to be certain that the $500. 00 part would solve the problem. I had them replace the sensor with gm approved parts bought from the dealership. After the repair, the mechanic stated that he thought there was an electrical fault with the sensor - but had no way of testing the circuits; nor the willingness to try a part he fixed because it could deploy the system. The light is on again (the repair was completed june 11, 2013). I took the vehicle back to the dealership, where they pulled the entire dash apart and tested all the circuits. They did not find a definite cause. They recommended that we use dielectric grease on the connections. They indicated that if that did not solve the problem, the next "repair" would be replace the airbag itself (roughly $800. 00). This is where i am at today - the light is illuminated again; gm has basically washed their hands of the vehicle (there is no warranty so all of this is coming out of my pocket); and they want to "try" to replace the airbag. I'm now concerned that the rollover sensor was not at fault; rather, there is an electrical problem with the srs system. I think the dealership has done the best they can - but without gm's participation in the solution; i think i will be continually throwing parts and still not finding the problem. Gm can test these parts; they have the schematics; charts; and ip to allow them to find the issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
