THE DOREL CHILD INFANT SAFETY SEAT THAT WAS MADE ON 10/10/2011. THE PRODUCT NUMBER IS 22-391 MLO. THE RESTRAINTS ON THE SEAT ARE NOT SAFE FOR A CHILD TO BE PLACED IN THE SEAT DUE TO THE RESTRAINTS COMING OFF OR UNDONE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIMPLY PULL ON THE RESTRAINTS AND THEY WILL COME UNDONE. AND IT IS REALLY UNSAFE IF YOU HAVE A INFANT IN THE SEAT THAT LIKES TO HOLD THE RESTRAINTS OR EVEN PLAY WITH THEM WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE AND CANT ALWAYS SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE EVEN JUST TRYING TO PLACE MY SON INTO THE SEAT. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS HAPPENING ARE THAT I HAVE TO THEN EITHER TAKE HIM OUT OF THE SEAT AND FIX THE RESTRAINTS OR I HAVE TO TRY AND FIX IT WHILE HE IS IN HIS SEAT. THE ONLY THING I WAS ABLE TO DO IS FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF IS TO PLACE VELCRO ON THE RESTRAINTS ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO NOT MOVE AT ALL WHEN I PLACE MY SON IN THE SEAT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE COMPANY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE, BUT EVERY TIME, I CALL THERE IS A HOLD TIME OR THEY ARE CLOSED. *TR

AFTER REFUELING OUR 2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER, THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. AFTER TAKING IT INTO THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE FUEL TANK AND LINES WERE RUSTING AWAY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. SHOP CALLED US BACK AND ADVISED THAT PARKING BREAK DRUMS ARE FALLING APART. EVERY TIME WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MAJOR REPAIR. NEVER A SIMPLE FIX. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T FORCE GM INTO A RECALL. THIS VEHICLE EVEN QUALIFIED UNDER THE CASH FOR CLUNKERS PROGRAM. *TR

IN MARCH OF 2010, MY DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT BUT THE BULB STILL LIT UP. IT IS A DUAL FILAMENT BULB, ONE FOR TAIL LIGHTS AND THE OTHER FOR BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL. MY MECHANIC INVESTIGATED AND THE ISSUE WAS A FAULTY SWITCH FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT. THIS IS A PART THAT CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER. NO AFTERMARKET SWITCHES/CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE AVAILABLE. THE WHOLE CIRCUIT BOARD MUST BE REPLACED. AGAIN ON 9/1/12, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT BOTH MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER A RECALL. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND RECALL: 01073 ISSUED BY GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE EXACT ISSUE MY VEHICLE IS HAVING WHICH WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES BUT STILL NOT MINE. GM IS PROFITING FROM SELLING THESE DEALER ONLY PARTS WHEN THEY FAIL ASIDE FROM SAVING MONEY BY NOT ISSUING THE RECALL TO ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR
