The reason GM might react to the side airbag problem is called Mary Barra. I doubt if it is the Takata issue that affects almost every auto manufacturer and in many cases more than GM. And Takata is not a programming or sensor issue like the side air cushions but a manufacturing issue of a supplier.
Barra has really cracked down on engineering when it comes to possible safety issues. Had a recall (software programming) on my GMC that could possibly affect one in a thousand vehicles where the seat belt pretensioner
might not operate, so GM recalled all vehicles that might be affected. (FCA did the basic same recall after GM issued there recall and rumor was that they only did it cause GM did and that would not look good in court.)
As for the H3; I banged mine on a few rough roads when I had it and only real problems were the rear shocks/springs and a radiator leak. I abused it and it still kept taking it.
But I do believe we have a one message Toyota loving TROLL posting about how bad the H3 is so I have to questions the entire post and if air cushions actually deployed..
I just have a problem with the first post being only a complaint, and how great something else is in regard to a vehicle, phone, trailer, whatever the forum is about. Just me I guess and too damn old to change.
