ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, THE FIRST RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WAS MAY 2014 AND THEN THE OTHERS FOLLOWED. THERE ARE 3 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND NONE OF THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS? ALL RECALLS HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. AM I DRIVING A DEATH TRAP? GM CONTINUES TO PUSH CARS OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HAVE THESE PARTS AVAILABLE AND REPAIR THE CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. AS A GOVERNMENT AGENCY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? *TR
