I HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WERE NOT ENGAGING WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE AS THEY SHOULD. SO, I TRIED IT MANUALLY ON THE AUTO LOCK SWITCH WITH NO REACTION I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT DOES THIS MAINLY WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. BUT, THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL THIS YEAR. THE MECHANIC GOT OUT HIS DIAGRAM BOOK ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ON THE CAR AND DECIDED THAT IT WAS A RELAY, THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT IT COULD BE, HE SAID. AFTER BEING CHARGED AROUND $80.00 FOR LABOR AND PARTS, I WAS CONFIDENT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. THE NEXT MORNING, IT DID THE SAME THING. AGAIN, I FEEL THAT I WAS RAPED BY THE DEALERSHIP!*AK

THE REINFORCEMENT PANEL THAT SERVES AS A LIFTPOINT FOR THE FRAME WAS OMITTED FROM THE RIGHT SIDE ROCKER ASSEMBLY OF THE FRAME THE VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THE MISSING REINFORCEMENT PANEL REDUCES THE PROTECTION OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN THE EVENT OF A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE RIGHT SIDE ROCKER REINFORCEMENT PANEL. IF THE REINFORCEMENT PANEL IS NOT PRESENT, DEALERS WILL CONTACT CHEVROLET FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
