AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE OF THE REASONS WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IS THAT IT HAS FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS. I USUALLY RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE SENSOR MOST OFTEN INDICATES OFF. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO ESTABLISH WHAT WAS WRONG, THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THAT MY WEIGHT WAS NOT QUITE ENOUGH TO GET IT TO WORK OR THAT IT WAS POSITIONAL( HOW I SAT). I AM A GROWN WOMAN WHO WEIGHS ABOUT 115 LBS AND AM 5'2".THIS IS NOT THIN BY NORMAL STANDARDS AND IT IS NOT CONSIDERED AN UNUSUAL SIZE. IF IN FACT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT MEANT TO WORK FOR SOMEONE OF MY SIZE THEY SHOULD ADVISE YOU OF THIS. I ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS A WRECK AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, WOULD I HAVE TO SUE GM? THEY ARE AVOIDING ME AND I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE CEO OF GM AS ADVISED BY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I HAVE WRITTEN TO BILL HEARD, THE OWNER OF TOM JUMPER CHEVROLET WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. NO ANSWERS FROM ANYONE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? *JB

HIT THE CONCRETE HEAD ON, $12,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK, FRAME BENT, FRONT END REPLACED AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DEALER HAD NO EXPLANATION OTHER THAN THE DAMAGE MUST HAVE BEEN IN JUST THE WRONG SPOT. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WITH HEAD AND NECK INJURIES. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
I HAVE BEEN HEARING A RATTLING SOUND UNDERNEATH MY CAR WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, I HEAR A POPPING NOISE, MAYBE FROM THE MUFFLER AREA. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT COULD BE ALREADY WITH ONLY 85K ON THE CAR. *TR
