AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
HORN WOULD SOUND WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS VIBRATED (EXAMPLE: DOOR IS SHUT, HOOD POPPED OPEN, ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING COLUMN). HAD THIS PROBLEM 2 TIME PREVIOUSLY, A GM AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP LOOK AT SITUATION AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITHOUT GOING INTO A DETAIL DIAGNOSTIC. PULLING THE FUSE FOR THE HORN WOULD NOT STOP THE HORN FOR SOUNDING. FINALLY HAD TO PULL THE HORN RELAY LOCATED IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD TO STOP HORN FROM SOUNDING. FINALLY HAD A DETAILED DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND THE ONLY THING THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. SUPPOSEDLY THE AIRBAG EXPANDS WHEN IT THE AREA AROUND IT HEATS UP, WHICH IN TURN APPLIES PRESSURE ON THE HORN RING, ERGO THE HORN GOES OFF EVEN WHEN THE FUSE WAS REMOVED. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DURING THEIR 2 HOURS OF DIAGNOTICS. RECOMMENDED SOULTION REPLACE AIRBAG / HORN RING $638.00 (PARTS ONLY). SUPPOSEDLY NEW AIRBAG HAS A NEW DESIGN TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN.

SEATS
THE DESIGN OF THE SEAT MOUNTING IS UNSAFE. THE SEAT IS MOUNTED TO A WEAK CROSS BRACE INSTEAD OF THE MAIN SEAT FRAME RAILS. THIS DESIGN IS DOOMED TO REPEATED FAILURES AND IS UNSAFE. IF THE SEAT WAS MOUNTED BY THE MAIN FRAME RAILS THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS. CHEVROLET SHOULD REDESIGN THE SLIDE BRACKET TO MOUNT TO THE PROPER MOUNTING POINTS.*AK

SEATS
THE SEAT FRAME BROKE WHEN I CAME TO A NORMAL STOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DIVER CHEV FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE SEAT FRAME WITH THE PART IN STOCK. THE SEAT NOW IS JAMMED AGAINST THE CONSOLE. I COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY PART AVAILABLE AND THAT HE HAD NO SOLUTION. I EXPLAINED THAT THE POWER SEAT WAS UNDER CONSTANT STRESS AND IT MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IS I WEERE INVILVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS IT COULD BREAK FREE AS IT WAS BASICLY PUSHED OUT OF NORMAL ALIGNMENT. INADDITION THE POWER SEAT MOTOR STRUGGLES TO MOVE THE SEAT WHICH WILL WEAR IT OUT NOT TO MEMTION THAT THE SEAT BOTTOM IS JAMMED AGAIST THE CONSOLE AND IT WILL WEAR THE LEATHER OUT. I CALLED CHEV OWNER ASSISTANCE 1-800-222-1020 AND THEY AGREED THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD AHVE NEVER OCCURED BUT AFTER CALLING THE DEALER SAID THER WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB AUTO LINE AND THEY SENT ME BACK A LETTER AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT PROGRESS THE COMPLAINT. I AM LEFT PAYING $ 268.00 FOR A FAULTY REPAIR WHICH I BELIVE HAS NOW RESULTED IN A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION THE WEAR ISSUES ON THE LEATHER SEAT AND POWER SEAT MOTOR. *AK
