2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Airbags Problems

I was at a stop light and heard a loud noise like a shotgun blast. I felt a concussion hit me in the chest. I thought I had been shot at, then thought I was possibly rear ended but nobody was behind me. I noticed the airbag light was on, the hazards were on and I couldn't shut them off, and the seatbelts were, and still are all locked. But no airbag deployed. There was a smell in the cab that vaguely smelled like a cross between gunpowder and ozone. It's fortunate that I was not at freeway speed.

I RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL ON MY GMC SIERRA SLT PICKUP TRUCK ON MAY 27,2016. I AM SITTING HERE FOUR YEARS LATER ON JUNE 15,2020 AND STILL NO REMEDY! I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERS AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THEM PERIODICALLY THE WHOLE 4 YEARS. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN WHO RIDE ON OCCASION IN THIS VEHICLE AND I FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A FIX??!! I OWN TWO OTHER VEHICLES NOT GM PRODUCTS. ONE WAS FIXED IN 2 WEEKS, THE OTHER IN ABOUT A MONTH. THIS IS PATHETIC! WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT. EASY TO SEE WHY FORD F150 OUTSELLS GMC/CHEVY AND RAM AND TUNDRA ARE CLOSING THE GAP. I DO FEEL SORRY FOR THE SERVICE MANAGERS WHO KEEP HAVING TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR AN INEPT CORPORATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME OR MY FAMILY IN ANOTHER GENERAL MOTORS SHOWROOM OR VEHICLE. *TR
