I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SINCE PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LOST FUNCTION OF THE AIR CONTROL UNIT AND THEN RESET MONTHS LATER. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ONCE TO PROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND AIR CONTROL UNIT, WHICH HAS GONE OUT TWICE AND THEN RETURNED BACK TO THE CORRECT FUNCTIONAL AIR SETTING MONTHS LATER AFTER SUPPOSEDLY PROGRAMED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED TO GIVE ME A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH STATES THE IGNITION SWITCH IS HAVING THE WRONG KEY, AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVING ME OTHER WARNINGS WITH TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK GAS CAP, AND THE RADIO TIME CLOCK RESETS ITSELF. I HAD TO REPLACE A BATTERY IN THIS VEHICLE IN IT'S 3RD YEAR. IS THIS VEHICLE IN TROUBLE AS ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS GENERAL MOTORS HAVE HAD??? *TR

I NOTICED WHEN I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH, RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG. THIS CAN'T BE SAFE! IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THEN WHAT IS TO STOP THE REST OF THE DASH TO EXPLODE APART LIKE SHRAPNEL CAUSING INJURY TO SOME IN THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID FOR MY PASSENGERS SAFETY! ABOUT A WEEK LATER FOUND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASH. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS! ALSO, THEIR PICTURES POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA SHOW THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATIONS AS THAT OF MY DASH. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND CHEAP CONSTRUCTED PARTS. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND RECTIFY THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR EVEN WORSE. HERE IS A LINK TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP PAGE WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CRACKS WITH SHARP EDGES AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND DASH. *TR

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN HEAD ON COLLISION THAT TOTALED IT. OTHER VEHICLE WAS AN OLDER MODEL VAN, DO NOT KNOW EXTENT OF DAMAGES TO IT. MY CONCERN IS THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WAS TOLD BY GM THAT CRASH DID NOT MEET CRITERIA FOR DEPLOYMENT!!!!! A HEAD ON COLLISION AT 50 MPH THAT TOTALED 2500 SERIES CHEVY TRUCK. HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE I NOW OWN A 2008 CHEVY 1500 SERIES , DO I NEED TO CONCERNED? *TR

SAFETY CONCERN WITH CRACKS IN DASH AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, WHILE DRIVING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, WAS A BROKEN SERPENTINE BELT.

ON IMPACT TO FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAGS ON THE OTHER VEHICLE DID DEPLOY. HOW CAN I BE SURE MY AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THERE IS ABOUT $9,000 DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I AM SENDINGAGAIN BECAUSE I AM NOT CERTAIN THE FIRST ONE WENT THROUGH. *TR

ABS DOES NOT WORK, LIGHT IS ON THE DASH. AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON THE DASH AND NOT SURE IF THEY ARE WORKING, TAILGATE DOES NOT LATCH CLOSED. KEY DOES NOT ALWAYS WANT TO TURN AND WE NEED TO MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH BEFORE IT WILL START THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAKING OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO PICK UP TRUCK. IF YOU NEED TO PULL A LITTLE HARD ON THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR BECAUSE IT HAS SNOW OR ICE ON IT (OR IT IS JUST LOCKED), IT BREAKS OFF. THE HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THIS: IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR MYSELF, A RESCUE PERSON MAY GRAB THE HANDLE A LITTLE TOO HARD AND IT BREAKS OFF, THUS THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO GET ME OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. I HAVE ASK GM IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS AND THEY SAID NO. LIKE I SAID I HAVE REPLACED THE HANDLES 3 TIMES AND THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES ON IT. *TR

2007 CHEVY SILVERADO BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT. LUCKILY I WASN'T DRIVING. NOTICED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. OIL ALL OVER THE GROUND. CHEVY CHARGED ME 480 FOR NEW BRAKE LINES. RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HAD CARS 20 YEARS OLD AND LINES NEVER RUSTED. DEALER ADMITTED THEY AREN'T STAINLESS STEEL FROM FACTORY. PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THIS IF THEY ARE DRIVING, LINES LEAK, THEY HAVE NO BRAKES. *TR

LOST BRAKING POWER WHEN TRYING TO STOP. WAS ABLE TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT RUNNING ALL THE WAY INTO THE INTERSECTION. DROVE HOME CAREFULLY AND CALLED DEALER. DEALER SERVICE SAID ONE BRAKE LINE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED IN TWO AND THE OTHER ONE WAS JUST ABOUT TO. *TR

I WAS CURRENTLY AT PLAINVIEW TEXAS, 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, UNABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO RAIN, HAD TO STOP TO WAIT FOR RAIN TO GO AWAY, WIPERS FELL TO WORK DURING COLD WEATHER. BOTH WIPER FROZE CAUSING THEM NOT TO WORK, HAD TO STOP AT DIFFERENT STORES TO CHECK IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. ONCE WE ENTER EL PASO TX STARTED TO WORK. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON A COLD WEATHER, WIPERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK IN ANY TYPE OF WEATHER, I WAS IN DANGEROUS DRIVING ALONG WITH MY 2 DAUGHTERS AND HUSBAND. *TR

DOORS CONTINUOUSLY LOCKING/UNLOCKING, ALL DASH LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY TURNING ON/OFF, CLOCK RESET ITSELF TO 12:00, ENGINE CUTTING IN/OUT WHICH ALSO RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, ALL OF WHICH OCCURRED WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN SACRAMENTO, CA. SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THE CLOCK RESETTING ITSELF TO 12:00, COMPLETE POWER LOSS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. *JS

THIS RELATES TO THE VEHICLE RECALLS RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT MY VEHICLE WOULD STOP RUNNING COMPLETELY BEFORE I KNEW UNFORTUNATELY THIS WAS ALWAYS AT SPEED SLOWER THAN5 MILES PER HOUR I DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE AT TRAVELING SPEEDS HOWEVER WAS VERY ENCOURAGED TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM MY OWNERSHIP DUE TO THIS ISSUE I HAD REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS ANOTHER AUTO MECHANIC NEITHER OF WHICH WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE LIGHTED ON THE DASHBOARD FOLLOWED BY AN EXPLOSION. SEAT BELTS TIGHTENED AND LOCKED. THE DEALERSHIP VERIFIED COMPLAINT, FOUND SDM INTERNALLY SHORTED. NEEDED NEW SDM AND BOTH FRONT PRETENSIONERS AND CONTROL MODULE. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $1445.99. *TR

AUTONATION TOYOTA IN ARLINGTON, TX FAILED TO TIGHTEN ONE OF MY WHEELS AFTER SERVICING IT. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN MY WHEEL BECAME TOTALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE ROTOR. THE TECHNICIAN WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TOLD ME THAT HIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AT THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP. AUTONATION TOYOTA IS PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK AND IN DANGER. *TR

VEHICLE HAS DUAL AIR CONDITION (A/C) CONTROLS. THE DRIVER SIDE STARTS BLOWING HOT (HEATER HOT) AIR ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS OKAY, STAYS COLD. EVEN WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED OFF IT STILL BLOWS HOT AIR. EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN, IT IS STILL HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS; LIKE AS IF THE HEATER IS ON. CLOSE THE VENTS BUT STILL BLOWS HOT. HAVE TO STOP A FEW MINUTES AND SOMETHING MUST RESET BECAUSE IT WORKS OKAY FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES HAVE TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET HOME OR PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LIVE AND DRIVE IN SOUTH TEXAS... IT GETS 105 IN THE SHADE... 120 IN A VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO FILE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NOW A FRIEND OF MY WIFE'S HAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON HER CHEVROLET. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE IS A DESIGN ISSUE. TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THE HEAT CAUSES SEVERE DISTRACTION. ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE IS YOUNG, ELDERLY, ILL ETC. THE DRIVER IS FORCED TO KEEP DRIVING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVROLET ON 3/4/2014. WAS CALLED BACK AND TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP AND TO REPORT THIS TO NHTSA. *TR

MULTIPLE BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. *TR

WHEN GETTING ONSTAR TBT NAVIGATION THE ROUTE GUIDANCE IS DISPLAYED IN THE (DIC) RATHER THAN THE RADIO DISPLAY AS SHOWN IN ONSTAR COMMERCIALS AND DEALER DEMOS.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN FLICKERING ON THE DASH AND IN THE CABIN. APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS TO ONE MINUTE AFTER THE INITIAL DASH AND LIGHT ISSUES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A NOTICE OF BATTERY CHARGING FAILURE OCCURRED, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF THIS OCCURRENCE I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BEFORE THIS COULD OCCUR. BY THE TIME I COAXED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND DOOR LOCKS WERE NO LONGER WORKING. SMOKE AND FLAMES BEGAN TO ENTER THE COCKPIT AND I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN LESS THAN A MINUTE AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK, BED, AND GAS TANK SOON FOLLOWED. THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY CONSUMED AND IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, LOOKED IN OWNERS MANUAL AND IT ADVISED TO GET IT SERVICED. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER WHO ADVISED ME JUST TO DRIVE IT, "THAT'S COMMON" I WAS TOLD. FAR CRY FROM THE HAZARDS THE BOOK EXPLAINS. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE 2007? NOT IMPRESSED! *TR

PLASTIC DASH HAS CRACKED NEAR AIR BAG. COULD LEAD TO SHARP PLASTIC PIECES FROM DASH BEING SENT INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN AIR BAG DEPLOYS. *TR

IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET BUT ALL BRAKE LINES UNDER TRUCK ARE CORRODED REAL BAD.I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL LOOSE BRAKES AT ANYTIME.I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE STEERING BOX AND POWER STEERING PUMP BECAUSE OF RUST.I ONLY HAVE 48000 MILES ON TRUCK,WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? *TR

LATCH FAILED WOULD NOT LATCH. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I COULD HAVE INJURED .I WOULD THINK THE SEAT BELTS WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 5 YEARS. *TR

GM HAS A DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION LINES ON THE 2500HD. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE, AND NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN. THEY ONLY LEAK IN COLD WEATHER WHEN THE RUBBER IN THE LINE SHRINKS AT THE CRIMP CAUSING THEM TO LEAK. THE DANGER HERE IS THE FIRE POTENTIAL. DUE TO THE DIESEL REGENERATION PROCESS THAT BURNS OFF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER AND THE HEATS IT TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES THIS HAS A POTENTIAL FIRE RISK. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE LEAKY TRANSMISSION LINES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE, ON SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF DURMAX PICKUPS, ON THE INTERNET. ADDITIONAL CONCERNS HERE ARE HOW ACIDIC TRANSMISSION OIL IS. IT ALSO HAS POTENTIAL TO DETERIORATE RUBBER STEERING COMPONENTS BOOTS BALL JOINT COVERS, ETC. THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

SILVERADO 2007 TRUCK CRACKS JUST KEEP APPEARING IN DASH IN AIRBAG SECTION FOR NO REASON. TRUCK IS PARKED IN GARAGE 80 PERCENT OF TIME. IF CRACKS KEEP APPEARING, WHAT IS GOING TO KEEP AIRBAG FROM COMING OUT OF DASH FOR NO REASON? THIS TRUCK IS 6 YEARS OLD WITH 62,000 MILES ON IT VERY CLEAN AND THE DASH LOOKS AWFUL. HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAY NO RECALLS, PLEASE TELL ME WHY? *TR

DEFECTIVE BRAKE LINES EXCESSIVE RUST DESTRUCTION OF METAL LINES NO OTHER RUST ON VEHICLE LINE TO REAR BRAKES CORRODED AT FUEL TANK AREA BOTH LINES FROM MASTER CYL. TO ABS BLOCK BROKE OFF AT WHEEL WELL LEFT FRONT THIS TRUCK WAS IN BACK YARD FOR TWO WEEKS WAIT FOR TITLE TRANSFER RUSTED THROUGH JUST SITTING THERE GM DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINES IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL CHEVY GMC FORD HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH BRAKE LINE RUSTING THRU I AM A MECHANIC THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25 MPH A LIGHT APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE WAS FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED A RUPTURED BRAKE LINE IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE CONTROL VALVE. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE DEALER I WAS ADVISED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW AND WAS VERY CONCERNED TO FIND THAT MY BRAKE LINES HAD FAILED WITH ONLY 82,800 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. BRAKE LINES SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING FAILURE. *TR

UPON DRIVING THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING EXTREME NOISE AND MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. MULTIPLE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND BACKFIRE THROUGH EXHAUST. CONTACTED CHEVY DEALER AND DROPPED OFF FOR DIAGNOSIS. PROBLEM WAS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT LIFTER FAILURE. (PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA) THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A HIGH VOLUME OF SILVERADO TRUCK MANUFACTURED AFTER 2007 WITH AFM. CHEVROLET HAS BULLETINS ON THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT RECALL TO REPLACE ALL AFM LIFTERS. THEY ONLY REPLACE THE LIFTERS THAT FAIL. THIS CAUSES ISSUES LATER WHEN ADDITIONAL LIFTERS FAIL. IF ALL AAFM LIFTERS (8) WOULD BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME CONSUMERS WOULDN'T BE COMPLAINING VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET. CHEVROLET ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO RECALL. REASON FOR REFUSAL IS IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AROUND 50,000 MILES AND ABOVE AND AFTER THE REPAIR THEY HOPE THAT THE ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WHEN REPAIRS ARE PAID FOR BY CONSUMERS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I PERSONALLY HAVE READ OF THIS HAPPENING AND HAD IT HAPPEN JUST RECENTLY. GM REFUSES TO BACK THEIR PRODUCT ALTHOUGH THEY RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE NHTSA MAKES THE CALL AFTER ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ARE FILED BY CONSUMERS. PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW THIS AND I AM REQUESTING YOU URGENTLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE CAN RESULT COSTING CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY. WE ARE JUST THE LITTLE GUY UP AGAINST A LARGE AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER. WE NE

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 (NEW BODY STYLE) CHEVY SILVERADO LS, 4.3L HAS CRACKED, RANDOMLY, RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THERE WAS NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS CRACK, IT JUST APPEARED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, MANY OTHER GM OWNERS, RANGING FROM SILVERADOS TO TAHOES TO ESCALDES, ALSO HAVE CRACKS IN THEIR DASH, IN THE SAME SPOT, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS IT CRACKING MORE, AND ALSO IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DASH BREAKING APART AND POSSIBLY THROWING SHARDS OF PLASTIC AT ME OR PASSENGER. NOT ONLY IS THE SAFETY AN ISSUE, BUT THE APPEARANCE IS AN ISSUE, SINCE ITS A RATHER LARGE CRACK, IT LOOKS UNSIGHTLY. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS POPULAR DEFECT THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED BY GM YET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

MY FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED ON BOTH SIDES. I LOOKED AT THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY 06/07 GM FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILURES, ALSO MANY FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS HAD THE SAME FAILURES. TO ME THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE WHEEL CAN COME OFF. *JS

I OFFER SAME COMPLAINT AS FILED UNDER NHTSA ID# 10485141.A SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT TO ME TO HAVE IT SERVICED & WAS TOLD THE RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS CORRODED & HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND STATED TO DEALER THAT GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. THE DEALER SAID NO & THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON RECORD.I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH THE COMMENTS PROVIDED UNDER ABOVE-REFERENCED COMPLIANT: "I CALLED GM & WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE & THE SALT AIR IN MY AREA CAUSED THE CORROSION AND GM WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE. I TOLD THE PERSON THAT I WAS TALKING TO THAT APPARENTLY GM MUST BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IF THEY KNOW THAT THE SALT AIR CORRODES THE SENSORS. I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLE INFLATE WHILE DRIVING & CAUSE THE DRIVER TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THUS CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FILE NUMBER (71-1127296694) AND TOLD THE MATTER WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I LATER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM GM,SAID LOOKED INTO COMPLAINT & SINCE IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE GM WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I THEN STATED TO HIM THAT I WAS AWARE THAT CHRYSLER RECENTLY HAD A RECALL OF VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE CORRODING. I WAS TOLD THAT GM. HAD NO SUCH RECALL. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CORRODED SENSORS COULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AT 75,458 MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I AM REPORTING IT CAUSE I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK AND I DON'T WANT IT TO EXPLODE ON ME DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR GET INTO A WRECK AND THEY DON'T DEPLOY. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING UP TO MY DRIVE WAY , THE MESSAGE ON MY DASH DISPLAY " SERVICE AIRBAG " CAME ON WITH THE AIRBAG INDICATOR ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT FIND AND ISSUE. UP TILL NOW STILL HAVE THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND MESSAGE ON THE DASH DISPLAY. IS THIS A RECALL KNOWN? *TR

DASH BOARD LIGHTS WORK ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. *TR

BRAKE LINE GOING TO REAR BRAKES HAD RUPTURED FROM MAJOR RUST. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND BRAKE AND FUEL LINES SUFFER FROM MAJOR RUST AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ASAP. *TR
