AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED LETTER STATING MY TRUCK IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THE LETTER SAYS MY TRUCK IS "CONSIDERED SAFE TO DRIVE" FOLLOWED BY A PARAGRAPH THAT SAYS "THE INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES". I GOT A SIMILAR NOTICE FROM LEXUS A FEW DAYS EARLIER, AND LEXUS OFFERED A RENTAL NO QUESTIONS ASKED UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THEY ARE NOT OFFERING RENTALS AT THIS TIME. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID MY TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE SO NO RENTAL WARRANTED. I ASKED THE REP WHY DID I GET A LETTER THEN SAYING THAT MY AIRBAG MAY KILL ME AND WAS TOLD SHE CAN'T ANSWER THAT. I WANT A RENTAL OF A SIMILAR TRUCK UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. I LIVE IN ZONE 1/A OF THE RECALL AS WELL, SO IF ANYONE IS LIKELY TO HAVE A PROBLEM, WE ARE IN THIS AREA.

AFTER TRUCK SITS FOR A WEEK OR MORE, ONCE STARTED AND PUT IN REVERSE IT WILL BACK OUT OF GARAGE VERY SLOWLY WHEN GIVEN FUEL EVEN AT 3000RPM. THE GARAGE SAYS TO LET IT WARM UP SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. I THINK TRANS. FLUID OIL IS DRAINING DOWN AND HAS TO FILL BACK UP. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS.

TAKATA AIR BAG. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR RECALL ON MY THRUCK AIR BAG OVER A YEAR AGO, I HAVE CONTACTED GM TWICE ON THE REPLACEMENT, THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT AS SOON AS THEY HAVE A REPLACEMENT THEY WILL NOTIFY ME HOWEVER IT HAS BEE OVER A YEAR AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A SET DATE FOR REPLACEMENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DIVING THIS TRUCK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I FEEL THAT HAVING RECEIVED THE NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO ENOUGH TIME HAS PASSED THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I FEEL THEY ARE REPLACING NEWER MODEL VEHICLES BEFORE OLDER ONES AND SHOULD BE DOING SUCH ACCORDING TO DATE OF PURCHASE NOT ACCORDING TO WHICH ARE NEWER. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
