Tl* the contact owns a 2008 GMC yukon denali. The contact stated that when entering the vehicle, the air bag warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed as having a defective airbag sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The approximate failure mileage was 62000. The VIN was not available.
I was driving approx. 35 MPH and suddenly cracks started forming around the airbag as well as around the steering column. I am concerned for the safety of occupants if airbags deploy.
