ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BLOWER FAN DID NOT COME ON WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING. I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL, AND TURNED THE FAN TO THE OFF POSITION. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME OF ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE FAN. UPON HAVING IT INSPECTED AND REMOVED, IT HAD AN OBVIOUS BURNED AREA. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE PART NUMBER, IT WAS APPARENT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME PART FOR HUMMERS AND CHEVY CANYON AND COLORADOS. THERE WAS NO RECALL OR INFORMATION REGARDING THE SAME PART FOR THE SOLSTICE. THE PART NUMBER IS OBSOLETE NOW BECAUSE OF THE REDESIGN OF THE PART FROM KNOWN FIRE DANGER OF THE PART. I FIND THIS HIGHLY NEGLIGENT OF GM TO NOT MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL/OR FREE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT. THE LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNS ME GREATLY, SINCE A FIRE WITH THIS PART HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. MY LIFE AND THOSE OF MY FAMILY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT IN DANGER BY GM'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. IF THERE WAS A FIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE, THAT ENGULFED MY HOME AND FAMILY WHILE GM WAS AWARE OF THE DANGER,THE DAMAGES WOULD BE ASTRONOMICAL IN GRIEF AND FINANCIALLY. THE EVIDENCE OF THE MELTED PARTS CLEARLY IS PROOF OF THE FIRE PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. DEPENDING UPON THE RESPONSE TO MY SITUATION AND COMPLAINT, I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH OTHER AUTHORITIES, LEGAL AVENUES AND INFORMATION NETWORKS. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED TWO NOTICES ABOUT RECALL NUMBER GM 17036. MY WIFE AND I TOOK A TRIP THIS PAST WEEKEND IN THE CAR AND I NOTICED THE VHICLE'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TELLTALE LIGHT INDICATING THE AIRBAG WAS OFF WHILE MY WIFE WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ON MONDAY 06/19/2017 I CALLED WILKINSON GM IN SANFORD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY 06/23/2017 AT 1:00 PM. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS THERE WAS NO STORED CODE AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AND I WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL GM HAS A PERMANENT SOLUTION. I QUESTIONED WHAT THEY WOULD DO IF THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PRESSURE SWITCH UNDER SEAT BUT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE TELLTALE LIGHT FOR AIRBAG GO OFF. THE TELLTALE INDICATING LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, IN MARION ON SECONDARY ROADS AND HIGHWAY ROADS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE DEALER MECHANIC ONLY TRIED TO REPRODUCE SYMPTOMS IN THE GARAGE SITTING STILL.
