IN MAY OF 2017 DASH WARNING SHOWED SERVICE AIRBAG REMAINED ON. TOOK TO DEALER AND IT AS REPLACED FOR $991.20 PLUS TAX. IN 2018 RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE THAT STATED I WOULD BE REIMBURSED AS PART WAS RECALLED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER TO SEE ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT AND DID PAPER WORK ON 7/17/18. WHILE I AS THERE I REQUESTED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THE REPAIRED RECALLED PART WAS DONE WITH THE SAME OLD PART THAT IS UNDER RECALL, THEY CHECKED OUT THE PREVIOUS REPAIR AND DISCOVERED THAT THE PREVIOUS REPAIR WAS MADE WITH THE SAME RECALLED PART. DEALER REPLACED THE REPAIRED PART THROUGH RECALL CAMPAIGN 17036. GM HAS NOT REIMBURSED ME FOR THE ORIGINAL REPAIR. AS I WAS NOT MADE WHOLE BY GM, I AM ASKING FOR A DETERMINATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP AND THE CAR GETS TO ABOUT 20MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY BRAKES HARD AND JOLTS. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE SEAT BELT ONE COULD GO INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENS WITH EACH BRAKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I SEE THROUGH RESEARCH ONLINE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR FOR YEARS...WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? THIS IS A SMALL CAR IF A SEMI OR JUST ANY MOVING VEHICLE WAS CLOSE BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AND MY PASSENGER WOULD PROBABLY BE CRUSHED. THE TWO ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON AND THE LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT ALSO GOES ON AND STAYS ON. THE REPAIR FACILITY SEEMS TO BE STUMPED. SOMEONE MUST KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING. SINCE THEN WE HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT YOUR AGENCY KNOWS THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN "NO PARTS TO FIX THIS". IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHY NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE MANUFACTURERS?? SO DRIVING THIS PUTS US AT RISK AND OTHERS ON THE ROADS !! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHY HAVE YOUR AGENCY AND THEN DO NOTHING?

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BOOK A RECALL APPOINTMENT FOR A YEAR NOW TO HAVE MY ISSUE RESOLVED. EVERY TIME I SPEAK WITH KUNI CHEVROLET, THEY LET ME KNOW THE AIRBAG PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR PONTIAC, ONLY TO BE RE DIRECTED BACK TO KUNI CHEVROLET WITH THE EXACT SAME OUTCOME. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS LIT ON MY DASH WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE PASSANGER SEAT.
