AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ON THE HWY GOING 60MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE BOTH ON. WENT TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN INSPECTION (WHICH I FAILED DUE TO THE AIRBAG) AND HE INFORMED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL. I DID, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE RECALL IS CLOSED AND I CAN'T GET THIS FIXED UNLESS I COME UP WITH A LOT OF MONEY. I EXPLAINED I NEVER GOT ANYTHING FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE RECALL. HOW CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED ON A CLOSED RECALL?

SUSPECTED FAILURE OF WIRING HARNESS ALTOGETHER WITH POSSIBLE BCM/CAM FAILURE AS WELL. DURING BATTERY TEST THERE WAS A REGULAR DROP IN VOLTAGE WHILE CONNECTED TO THE SCANNER REFLECTING A DRAIN IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT COULD FURTHER BE CAUSING AN ISSUE.

SOMETIMES THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK , I'D W OK OLD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY OR STREET AND POP THE HOOD JUST TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN.

THE CAR HAD 34,428 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY PUT R1234YF FREON IN IT AND MAKE SURE THE PRESSURE WAS JUST RIGHT. AND THEY TELLING ME THAT I DON'T HAVE FACTORY WARRANTY ON IT. JUST BELIEVE THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIXS THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. AFTER ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS. I LOVE MY CAR AND I WON;T TRADE IT FOR NOTHING ELSE. I SAVE UP $10,000 TO PUT DOWN ON MY CAR THAT I REALLY WANT. AND NOW THIS HAPPEND.
