AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED THE DEALER. BROUGHT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THEY SCANNNED CODES (OUR TPS) LIGHT HAD BEEN ON. FAULTY PPS AIR BAG MODULE $1150.00 TO FIX IT. TOLD THEM GO AHEAD. WHAT COULD I DO, THIS IS THURSDAY. THERE WAS NO SENSOR TO BE FOUND, THEY SAID GM HAD A BACK ORDER OF THIS PART, WENT HOME (SLOWLY) THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME ON FRIDAY. CALLED THE DEALER SAID THEY LOCATED ONE IN KENTUCKY. I ASKED IF THEY COULD GET IT OVERNIGHT, TO WHICH THEY SAID NO. MY CONCERN IS IF AIRBAGS ARE SO IMPORTANT FOR 'SAFETY" PARTS READILY AVAILABLE PARTS SHOULD BE WITHIN A 24HR RANGE. SAFTETY IS MY CONCERN. TOLD THE DEALSHIP THAT WE WERE VERY SCARED AND UNHAAPPY. MAYBE ITS TIME TO LOOK AT OTHER CARS THE GMC IS NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT WITHOUT AN AIRBAG.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING (LOSING PROPULSION, STEERING, BRAKES, ETC.) AND THE KEY WILL NOT RESTART WHEN TURNED FORWARD (IN NEUTRAL), WHILE COASTING, BUT WILL RESTART WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED BACK AND THEN FORWARD AGAIN. IN THIS CASE, COASTING DOWN AND BRAKING AND TURNING RIGHT, POSSIBLY WITH RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON. DIED RIGHT BEFORE STARTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH. IT WAS A CLEAR DRY 100 DEGREE AFTERNOON, ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT. WE LIVE ON A BUMPY DIRT ROAD THAT IS JUST OVER A QUARTER OF A MILE LONG TO REACH OUR HOUSE. SIMILAR TO OTHER GM IGNITION KEY / NO AIR BAG RECALL PROGRAMS FOR SIMILAR MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, SUCH AS THE HHR. THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES THIS HAPPEN TO? ANY DEATHS, YET? I DON'T BELIEVE THE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE WORKED, SHOULD WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO INFORMATION SHOWN IN THE DIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAY (DIC) AND THERE WERE WARNING LIGHTS ON IN THE DASHBOARD, TO INDICATE THAT THE POWER WAS ON TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC), BUT THAT THE MOTOR WAS OFF. I COULD NOT SELECT BRAKES AND STEERING AS BEING AFFECTED, BUT WITH NO MOTOR, THERE IS NO VACUUM BRAKE BOOSTING GOING ON, AND NO POWER STEERING EITHER.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
TIRE BLEW OUT AT 70 MPH ON FREEWAY CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH INTO GUARD RAIL. I HAD TO PULL OFF EXIT IN UNFAMILIAR CITY IN A BAD AREA AND CALL EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. EVERY TIRE HAS LEAKED AIR SINCE PURCHASING AND HAS HAD TO BE RESEALED AND SIDEWALLS ALL LOOKED LIKE THEY ARE CRACKING APART. I HAVE CONTACTED COOPER SEVERAL TIMES TO GET NO SOLUTION AND A [XXX] RESPONSE. THEY ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING MATTER FOR 2 AND HALF YEARS NOW! THE STORE WERE PURCHASED SAID I HAD TO CONTACT COOPER NOT THEM. EVERY TIRE IN THIS LINE HAS BEEN RECALLED EXCEPT THIS SIZE! NOW I GET TO SPEND ANOTHER $1000 ON NEW TIRES WHEN THESE AREN'T EVEN OUT OF WARRANTY BUT COOPER WON'T DO ANYTHING EVEN THO MY MECHANIC SAYS THEY ARE FAULTY.

ENGINE
NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING WHEN I REACH SPEEDS OF ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH IT LOSES POWER, THE TACH. EVEN DECLINES IN IT'S READING. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE IS BEHIND ME WITH A ROPE, AND STEPPING ON THEIR BRAKES, SLOWING ME DOWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M GOING STRAIGHT DOWN A STREET, MAKING NO TURNS, AND LET IT BASICALLY IDLE ROLL DOWN THE STREET. ALL THE WHILE, IT IS IN GEAR, ENGINE RUNNING, AND IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET
