| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Several months ago, my airbag light came on and didn't extinguish. i took my 1998 gmc extd. cab pickup to the dealer and they completed repairs ($755.14, even at a discounted rate). the problem was the sir coil intermittently was grounding, causing a short in the sdm module. my airbag has never deployed and the truck has never been involved in an accident. since airbags were mandated back in 1998, i would have hoped that i would never have had a problem with that system! seems to me this should be warranted for the life of the car, barring deployment from an accident. *jb |
