This is an issue that GM needs to make right. The dealership told us that "everybody has this problem." Why would you engineer a vehicle with sensors that corrode and can cause a cascade failure of the ENTIRE electrical system? Our XM radio went out when the sensors first failed, but it started working when the NON-CORRODING sensors were installed. Since these sensors detect objects to the rear of the vehicle (obviously a safety issue) AND are in a place where salt, water, etc. would obviously corrode them to the point that they fail, why not build them with non-corroding parts in the first place?! Also, the correction is incredibly expensive for two sensors like that, in my opinion. I would like to report this directly to GM, so if anyone has a suggestion as to where I should send my complaint, I would appreciate it!
