THIS HAPPENED ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, AND I WAS AWARE THAT GM WAS ALSO AWARE, BUT WHEN I TALKED TO THE DEALER, HE SAID THAT HE COULD DO NO WORK UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE, EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR A PIECE OF PAPER EVEN THOUGH THEY ALREADY KNEW SOMEONE COULD BE HURT. WE WERE LUCKY, BUT I'M NOT WAITING. *AK
