Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Had to replace the sensor for the air bag. This should have been covered by general motors. I know that a lot of people would not have this problem fixed due to the cost. When the service air bag light comes on it deactivates the air bags. This is a major safety issue. We have a 2000 Chevrolet tahoe in out family that has not had this problem. I feel there needs to be a recall.”
