2008 Van-Con Chevy

Defect. VAN-CON HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 HANDICAP SCHOOL BUSES BUILT ON FORD AND CHEVY CHASSIS, FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.

Risk. THE USER OF THE LIFT COULD BE INJURED SHOULD THE LIFT MOVE WITHOUT THE RESTRAINT BELT PROPERLY BUCKLED.

Remedy. VAN-CON IS WORKING WITH RICON AND RICON WILL BE HANDLING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. PLEASE SEE RICON'S DEFECT REPORT 09E-060. RICON WILL PROVIDE CUSTOMERS WITH A WARNING DECAL AND A DVD-BASED TRAINING AID. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT RICON CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-322-2884 OR BY EMAIL AT [email protected].

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS NOT YET DONE ANYTHING BUT I AM JUST NOW FINDING OUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE MY VEHICLE HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG AND THE REVIEWS HAVE NOT BEEN POSITIVE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE WITH MY 8 MONTH OLD ALSO BEING PREGNANT WITH THE SECOND ONE ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. I NEED THIS FIXED AND OR TAKEN CARE OF ASAP.

I STILL HAVE A 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO AND ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND THE RECALL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. WHY ISN'T NO ONE DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOW I AM SUPPOSE TO FEE CONFIDENT DRIVING MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY WITH THE 9 YEAR SON IN IT. I HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG GM CUSTOMER, AND WILL HATE TO BE FORCED TO GO FOREIGN AS MANY DO.TAKATA HAS NOT OWNED UP TO RESPONSIBILITY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION OR COMPENSATION. WHEN CAN SOMEONE FIX THIS ISSUE????????????

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT AROUND 40MPH ON A FOUR LANE ROAD WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG SIMILAR TO A GUN SHOT. SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN AND THE SEAT BELT LOCKED LOCKED UP CAUSING A CUT TO MY NECK. THE PASSENGERS SEAT BELT ALSO LOCKED UP. FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE AND OUR TWO AND FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE BACK IN THEIR CAR SEATS. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING WITH THE TRUCK AND WE DID NOT GO OVER A SPEED BUMP OR HIT A POT HOLE. I DID NOT SLAM THE BRAKES. IT WAS A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY AND THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER BASICALLY EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TRUCK IS AT BEATY CHEVROLET NOW WHERE THEY'RE SAYING THAT ITS A 2008 AND OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALMOST $1900 TO REPAIR! SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING DEFECTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR CAUSE THE DRIVER TO GET IN ACCIDENTS? THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER ON MONDAY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIR.

AIR BAGS PARTIALLY WENT OF WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH IN A COFFEE DRIVE THROUGH WITHOUT CRASHING. EXPLOSIVE WIND AND SMALL OBJECT HIT MY CHEST KNOCKING WIND OUT AND WHIPLASH. I MIGHT BE PREGNANT WITH STOMACH AND NECK PAIN.

I CALL THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT NO PARTS

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE

TAKATA RECALL ACCIDENT NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING DEATH OF SPOUSE

TAKATA RECALL

THE DASH BORD CRACKED FROM WINDOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS. DONT KNOW HOW IT HAPPEN WENT TO WORK ONE MORNING AND NOTICE IT CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS. IT HAS HAD A SMALL CRACK ALONG THE AIRBAG ON PASSAGER SIDE FOR A WHILE.

I WAS ON UNION STREET IN HOBART, IN AND MY INFO STARTED BLINKING AND MY ANTI THEFT DETERRENT ALARM LIGHT STAYED ON.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPAIRS DONE NOR NOTIFIED FOR ANY REPAIRS ON AIR BAG TO DATE.

TAKATA RECALL - 7/2016 RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL LETTER. STILL NO DATE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. UNABLE TO USE VEHICLE AT TIMES AS IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. NEED TO KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WHY ITS TAKING SO LONG.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2015, IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND STILL NO UPDATE, TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALL. HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GOING TO TAKE? A YEAR SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE EXCESSIVE.

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. FRONT DASH BOARD PLASTIC GOT CRACKED IN TWO PLACES IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE. MANY PICKUPS THAT I HAVE SEEN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS COME OUT, THIS IS CLEARLY AN MATERIAL DESIGN FLAW.

GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF CAR. READ RECALL 12V459000. THIS INCLUDED 2007 MODELS IN AZ, CA, NV, FL, AND TX. 2008 MODEL ONLY COVERS AZ. IS THIS A LOOP HOLE BY GM CONSIDERING A POSSIBILITY THAT 2008 MODELS MIGHT BE MORE COMMON. I DON'T SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN 07-08 GIVEN SAME PARTS WERE PROBABLY USED AND WHY ONLY AZ IN A ONE YEAR MANUFACTURING DIFFERENCE. I KNOW RECALL CONFRONTATION IS NOT GM'S FORTE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70MPH THE REDUCE ENGINE SPEED MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO LESS THAN 50MPH. AT NO OTHER TIME HAVE I RECEIVED THIS WARNING UNTIL I WAS IN A SPEEDING POSITION. REDUCING SPEED WHILE ON AN EXPRESSWAY IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT IS NOT IN THE CONTROL OF THE OPERATOR OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO ALL GM VEHICLES.

I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THEY SUGGEST REPLACING EGR VALVE AND CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY. $210 TOTAL AND THEY ARE STILL TELLING ME THAT IT MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF POST BUT NO RESOLUTION TO THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMING ON. *TR

HAD CHEVY MANAGER CALL ME TO DISCUSS WHY THEY REPLACED THROTTLE DUE TO HESITATION IN GAS WHEN APPLIED TO GAS PEDAL. I JUST HAD REPLACED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER DUE TO NOT PASSING SMOG. CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ABOUT THE THROTTLE CAUSING UNNECESSARY WEAR OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE ASKED WHY CHEVY DIDN'T REPAIR CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT CHEVY. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID AT THAT TIME THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IT IN TILL OVER THE WEEKEND. I WENT FORWARD WITH LOCAL SHOP THAT ACTUALLY HAD ONE. HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS PAST THE 80,000 WARRANTY BUT WOULD NOT EXCEPT THAT THE THROTTLE COULD HAVE DECREASED THE AVERAGE LIFE DUE TO THROTTLE REPLACEMENT CHEVY INDIRECTLY RECALLED. SITTING THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THROTTLE IF I HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. YES I HAVE AND WOULD LIKE TO GET A REFUND FOR THE DAMAGE THE THROTTLE CAUSED. THE CASE # [XXX].
