DOOR HANDLES. DRIVER DOOR, FAILED 2 TIMES, FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FAILED 1 TIME, REAR PASSENGER SIDE FAILED 1 TIME. COULD NOT ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE VIA DOOR WITH FAILED HARDWARE. OCCUPANTS HAD TO EXIT VEHICLE VIA AN ALTERNATIVE DOOR. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLE EACH TIME. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS AN AUTOBODY SHOP THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHROME HANDLES. COST TO DATE SPENT REPAIRING THIS ISSUE IS IN EXCESS OF $800

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. IT HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS JEOPARDIZED THE INTEGRITY OF THAT AIRBAG OR NOT. HOPEFULLY IT HASN'T BECAUSE MY WIFE USUALLY RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS ALSO CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IT HAS EVEN MADE A COUPLE OF HOLES WHERE THE CRACKS RAN TOGETHER AND THE SMALL PIECES FELL INTO THE DASH AND I WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE THEM. AND NOW THE DASH RATTLES ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS ONLY AFFECTED THE PORTION OF THE DASH THAT HAS THE AIRBAG AND GOES OVER THE INSTRUMENTS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. THE PORTION CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD HAS NOT CRACKED AT ALL YET. WE HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD OF OUR VEHICLES AND HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF THEM. NOT ONLY THE MAINTENANCE SIDE BUT THE APPEARANCE MEANS A LOT TO US. WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM HAS NEGLECTED TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THEY COULD HAVE STOPPED EARLY ON IN PRODUCTION. IF THEY HAD DONE SO ONCE THIS BECAME AN ISSUE THEY COULD HAVE REPAIRED AND OR REPLACED A FEW AND MADE A LOT OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS HAPPY. THEN THEY COULD HAVE CHANGED MATERIALS USED TO MAKE THE DASHBOARDS AND EVERYONE WOULD BE HAPPY WITH NO CRACKS. BUT THEY CHOSE TO SPEND THEIR MONEY TO FIGHT THIS IN COURT AND THEIR MONEY WON. WHICH IN TURN MADE A LOT OF LONG TIME CUSTOMERS VERY UNHAPPY INCLUDING OURSELVES. YOU THINK IF ALL THE OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS COULD BUILD A DASHBOARD THAT DIDN'T CRACK THEY COULD HAVE TOO.

SERVICE AIR BAG SHOWED UP ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CODE READER SHOWS CODE B0020-0D, PASSENGER INSTRUMENT PANEL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT LOOP STAGE 2 SHORT TO BATTERY. THE WARNING HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT FOR YEARS AND THEN HERE RECENTLY THE WARNING BECAME A STEADY ILLUMINATION. WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED IT DIDN'T MATTER IF I WAS MOVING OR OR STATIONARY. NOW THE WARNING DOES NOT GO OFF. I AM NOT 100% POSITIVE IF THE TAKATA RECALL IS WHAT IS AFFECTING MY AIR BAG BUT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049151 AND NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V381. THE RECALL IS CURRENTLY INCOMPLETE, AND A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN TEXAS SO AS THE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INCREASED THE AIR BAG ISSUE BECAME WORSE.
