AIR BAGS
MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING BACK FROM STORE IN A 08 GMC SIERRRA. AS SHE APPROACHED RED LIGHT BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED! NO ONE ELSE IN THE VEHICLE. PAVED ROAD AND TRAVELING ABOUT 15-20 MPH. THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DESTROYED THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO THROW A BRICK THRU IT.

RECEIVED STANDARD TAKATA RECALL LETTER IN 2016 & BEGAN CONTACTING GMC & CHEVY DEALERS IN MY AREA, BUT THEY JUST KEPT SAYING WAITING FOR PARTS. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED, BUT 'NO PARTS AVAILABLE'. ONLINE SEARCH ALSO SAYS MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. NOW (6/2020)I CONTACTED SAME DEALER (MCKINNEY GMC BUICK, MCKINNEY, TX), WHO CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED. I THINK THEY'RE BLOWING SMOKE.

SEAT BELTS
I WAS SLOWLY GOING ACROSS A PARKING LOT WHEN A LOUD BANG LIKE A GUN SHOT HAPPENED AND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT PULLED ME TIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT. THERE WAS A SMELL OF A CHEMICAL GAS IN THE CAB AND THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS CAME ON. I AM SURELY GLAD I WAS ONLY GOING A FEW MILES AN HOUR. NOW THE SEAT BELTS (BOTH SIDES) ARE LOCKED TIGHT. I UNDERSTAND THIS MIGHT NOT BE THAT RARE OF A PROBLEM BUT IT'S THE FIRST I'VE EVER HEARD OF IT.
