AT 80K I PUT MY TRUCK IN REVERSE AND HEARD A CLUNK SOUND AND IMMEDIATELY IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS ANYMORE. I WENT AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WHICH LASTED ROUGHLY 10K MORE. NOW, THE TRUCK WON'T SHIFT YET AGAIN AND THE FILTER WAS CHANGED AND THE REAR OUTPUT SEAL. CURRENTLY, WHEN I DRIVE SINCE ITS MY ONLY VEHICLE, ONE MINUTE IT WILL SHIFT FINE BUT AFTER I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN, IT WILL NOT SHIFT FROM FIRST AND THE AGAIN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON!

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL - I RECEIVED THE NOTICE BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR FOR OVER 1 YEAR. WHAT IS THE POINT OF A RECALL IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION? THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE DEALER IS WILLING TO DO THE REPAIR, BUT THEY CAN'T OBTAIN THE REPLACEMENT PART.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRAVELING AT 65MPH IN -25 DEGREES F, OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND STABILINK TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. DASH DISPLAY SAID VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND OUR ENGINE SHUT-DOWN. WE PULLED OVER ON A SNOWY HIGHWAY AND READ BLOGS AND FOUND OUR THROTTLE BODY SENSOR WOULD CRACK AND FAIL AT EXTREME COLD TEMP. WE STARTED VEHICLE AND IT RESET, BUT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITHIN 5 MILES. I FOUND A AUTO-ZONE IN PRINCETON, MINNESOTA AND BOUGHT PART AND REPLACED MYSELF. AS IT WAS NEW YEARS EVE NO GM ASSISTANCE WAS AVAILABLE. GM TELLS US THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THEY FAILED TO NOTIFY US. ALSO TOLD US A DEALER WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE, BUT FAILED TO TELL US HOW TO GET TO A DEALER WITH THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM COMMON AT COLD TEMPERATURES. GM WAS DANGEROUSLY IRRESPONSIBLE BY NOT NOTIFYING US. THEY PUT US IN A BAD SITUATION IN EXTREMELY COLD TEMPS. I FAIL TO SEE WHY THIS WASN'T A RECALL WHEN YOUR VEHICLE BASICALLY SHUTS DOWN. WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN REAR-ENDED OR SPUN IN A DITCH. THANKS TO BLOGS WITH NO HELP FROM GM, I FIXED THE PROBLEM MYSELF AT EXTREME COLD TEMP. GM WILL NOT COVER MY $190.00 FOR PART, NOT COUNTING STRESS,TIME AND LABOR. HOW CAN THEY SAY THEY VERIFIED WE RECEIVED NO NOTICE, BUT WOULD NOT COVER OUR COSTS. I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE DRIVERS PUT IN THIS SITUATION. THANKS GM.

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE ROLLING THE DICE EVERY TIME WE USE OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE SEEN TV REPORTING WHERE OCCUPANTS HAVE BEEN GROSSLY FACIALLY DISFIGURED AND OR BLINDED FROM METAL SCRAPS FROM THESE AIRBAGS. WHY ARE WE BEING PUT AT THIS DANGEROUS RISK? SINCE IT APPEARS, ACCORDING TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER, WE ARE NO CLOSER TO HAVING A REPLACEMENT. THUS, I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU GIVE THE DEALERSHIP.PERMISSION TO DISABLE OR REMOVE THE BAG. WE WOULD RATHER TAKE OUR CHANCES WITHOUT A DANGEROUS AIR BAG THAT COULD EXPLODE IN OUR FACE EVEN IN A MINOR ACCIDENT, AS WE HAVE DONE MOST OF OUR LIVES BEFORE AIR BAGS WERE MANDATED. PLEASE ADVISE!
