| On sept. 28th about 1pm i was trveling on a dirt road when i approached some pot holes. the day was sunny and dry and i went to apply my brake but as i hit the brakes to slow down i hitthe first couple and my side impact air bags deployed.i took it into the dealer and they advised that the computer advised it was in a roll and deployed the side impact air bags and also they advised the computer sensed there was someone in the passegners seat when there wasn't so maybe the seat sensors a bit sensitive. it was evedent i wasn't in a roll and they refered me to gm customer service who took my infomration and sent a 3rd party i believe raytheon to do an inspection. i called gm yesterday and they advised they recieved the results and per thier engineers and the data they pulled they determined that the pot holes that i had hit (which were not large) were large enough to tell the computer that i had lost stability and to deploy the air bags. with that they determined that the systems were functioning properly and that they were not liable for any issues or costs. i had spoken with joe the supervisor and i had asked him that when i get this fixed am i to be leary of pot holes in the future that it might set them off again and he directly answered that that is a possibility that if the computer senses that the truck has lost stability that they will deploy again. again he advised everything was functioning properly. at this point i have to get my truck fixed but i'm don't feel safe driving it as if this had happened at freeway speeds i could have lost control of the vehicle. i did see another safety review that i believe had a nhtsa review # 10205258 which appears just like my incident but that one for a 2007 gmc yukon. gm advised that the repairs would cost $2700 and if it happened again i would again be liable for the cost even though in my mind it's a design or eng. flaw. | |||
