2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Air bags Problems

“On average, about every 3rd time I drive this truck, but almost every time if it's wet or cold, I get a warning that there is a mechanical issue with my airbags. I don't know which one, or what part of the system is failing, but the airbag warning light will remain on the entire time I'm driving and I get notices from onstar that it requires immediate attention. It's happened too many times for me to count. The first time it happened (over a year ago), I took it to the dealership regarding the issue, they thought it was likely electrical and could be fixed with a $1000 repair.”

“On 20 march 17, I was traveling down a country road when a dog entered the roadway. I swerved right and was not able to correct, without the possibility of over steering and possibility rolling my truck. I went through a small ditch my side air bags deployed. I was able to get back on the road.I stopped the truck and could not see any damage. I returned to my friends house and contacted my insurance,tow company and the local sheriff dept, nobody including the repair facility could detect any damage aside of the air bag deployment. …”

“Vehicle involved in a rear end collision and pushed into a vehicle in front causing both front and rear damage, airbag came out of inflater but did not deploy”

“My rear driver side door electric harness failed only two years after owning vehicle. This disables everything, including the side airbag putting passengers at risk. Most recently (2024), my radio harness failed causing ALL functions regarding infotainment system to be obsolete. Multiple electric issues and no recalls to be seen.”

“air bags on my truck still dont work and i was not told by sales person that the safety features didnt work on truck before purchase. Dealership has worked on it twice and the last tech airbags were working and they are not still same symbol saying airbag not working”
