Consumer Description

ONE MORNING CAME OUT TO START MY 2005 SUBURBAN AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE POPPED ON ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. TOOK IT TO MY SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM RENDERING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM INOP. I BELIEVE GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS AS NOT EVERYONE HAS $400 TO FIX A FAULTY SENSOR. THE ODOMETER ON MY SUBURBAN IS 127,000 MILES, SO BY NO MEANS DRIVEN HARD.
