2005 Chevrolet Silverado Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The front airbag impact sensor when they stop working will not work on impact. You can get them from GMC because they stopped making them and you can not find them on the aftermarket. How can a company discontinue a safety part.

Unknown

Air bag impact sensor under radiator cracked and is no bad

The airbag light is on. I took it to the chevy dealership on battlecreek rd, the service clerk said they do not work on vehicles with over 150k miles. How do I get the airbag serviced.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 mph, he lost control of the vehicle due to losing consciousness. The vehicle left the roadway and went airborne and crashed with a road sign landing in a field. None of the airbags deployed and only the seatbelt lap belt tensioned not the shoulder strap. The contact sustained injuries such as several lacerations across the face and inside the mouth, and broken L1 vertebrae. The contact mentioned he fractured the steering wheel with his face during the impact. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed to a local lot then towed again to the contacts insurance lot where it was awaiting a diagnosis. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 281,000.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG SOON LIGHT CAME ON MONTHS BEFORE THE NATIONAL RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. IT IS STILL ON, YET MY 2005 IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MY TRUCK THROUGH STATE INSPECTION WITH THAT LIGHT ON? IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. ANYTIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

LOW MILEAGE 2005 TRUCK. AT JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES PASSENGER AIRBAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON (NOV. 2018). PERFORMED PROTOCOL ACCORDING TO MANUAL AND IT TURNED OFF. CAME BACK ON SAME DAY AFTER MOVING PASSENGER SEAT TO CLEAN. DEALERSHIP IN MISSOULA MONTANA CLAIMED NEEDED PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACEMENT, COST OVER $800.00. ADMITTED NOT A PROBLEM MECHANICALLY THAT WOULD AFFECT THE TRUCK IF DID NOT REPLACE. AFTER READING ON THIS SITE THE RELIABILITY OF THE AIR BAGS IN THIS TRUCK, NOT WORTH IT TO ME. MILEAGE TODAY MARCH 2019 LITTLE UNDER 51,000.

SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING ON VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD A "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE NEW AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD IT IS A DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG CONNECTION ISSUE AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WON'T ACTIVATE. AFTER READING ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE 2007 MODELS ON UP I WAS SURPRISED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT MY YEAR IS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT RECALL AS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME SAFETY DEFECT. MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK IS ONLY 81,000 MILES. THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND JUST STARTED WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AND IT'S BEEN ON EVER SINCE.

LIGHT COMES ON WHICH READS "CHECK PASSENGER AIR BAG". THIS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED AND THEN REMAINS ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS AND VEHICLE REPAIR SHOPS HAVE INDICATED THAT PARTS FOR THE AIR BAGS ARE FAULTY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THESE SAME REPAIR LOCATIONS HAVE INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT ACTIVATE IN CASE OF A ACCIDENT.

THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE NEW. NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE CAME ON. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO FORK OUT MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 50 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED MY BRAKES, BUT HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. THE SEAT BELT STOPPED MY FORWARD PROGRESSION, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

WHEN I PURCHASED MY TRUCK THE DEALERSHIP PROMISED TO HAVE IT FIXED,I THEN WENT TO THE NC DMV WHO HANDLES VEHICLE. I HAD BEEN RECEIVING THE RUNAROUND FROM EVERYONE. I AM SURE IT HAS BEEN IN A FLOOD THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT DUE TO ALL THE RUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PURCHASED IT WAS STATIONARY AT A PRIVATE DEALERSHIP IN A CITY NEXT TO A HIGHWAY. *TR
