THIS VEHICLE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ON OCTOBER 16, 2015 AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CODE FOR THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WERE THE PROBLEM AND THE COST WAS $1288. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET DATED OCTOBER 2015 WHICH OUTLINED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND I HAVE CALLED THEM AND THE CASE#8-1632849396 THEY REFUSE TO COVER THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MILES ON THE TRUCK IS 135,000 MILES AND THEY STATED THAT THE COVERAGE IS ONLY UP TO 120,000. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT LIMITED TO MILES AS THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO WITH THE LETTER. I HAVE NOT HAD TRUCK REPAIRED.

I WAS IN MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP, IGNITION ON, ENGINE RUNNING, TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I THEN HEARD AN AUDIBLE SCRATCHING PLASTIC NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT LOWER REAR EXTENDED CAB DOOR. I LOOKED BACK TO SEE WHAT IT WAS (SAW NOTHING) AND NOTICED WHEN I TURNED BACK AROUND MY SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT. I WAS THEN ABLE TO UN-RAVEL ALL OF THE SEAT BELT WEBBING FEELING NO RETRACTOR TENSION UNTIL IT WAS FULLY EXTENDED. THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT BACK INTO THE DOOR / RETRACTOR TO THIS DAY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE (PURCHASED NEW IN LATE 2007) IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT (MAJOR OR MINOR), IT IS WELL CARED FOR AND NOT ABUSED. I AM FORCED TO PURCHASE A NEW SEAT BELT / RETRACTOR FOR THE VEHICLE. SAFETY RESTRAINTS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 4~5 YEARS ESPECIALLY NOT BEING SHOCK LOADED (IN AN ACCIDENT). WHAT IF I WAS BRAKING HARD OR COMING INTO A COLLISION, I WOULD NOT BE HERE TO WRITE THIS. I AM AN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER WITH OVER 10 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY; MOST OF WHICH HAS BEEN TESTING (SOME FMVSS). IT IS OF MY OPINION THAT THIS RETRACTOR / SEATBELT HAS A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING HOW TO USE THE TOP TETHER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BOTH NHTSA AND GM DISCOURAGE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A FRONT SEAT. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT CENTER SEATING POSITION OF THIS VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT OFFER A REAR SEAT. LACK OF ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR AND A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO USE IT, MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT CAN RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE RESTRAINT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD SEATED IN THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CUT A HOLE INTO THE BACK PANEL TRIM COVER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT POSITION AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AS TO USE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR VISIT GM'S WEBSITE AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
GM IS RECALLING 185,903 MODEL YEAR 2004-2009 COLORADO, GMC MODEL YEAR 2009-2004 CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006 I-280, I-350, MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 I-290, AND I-370, PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, PUERTO RICO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND UTAH. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH THAT MAY NOT WORK AS DESIGNED DUE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE SWITCH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE SIMULTANEOUS LOSS OF ALL BRAKE LAMPS OR CAUSE ALL OF THE BRAKE LAMPS TO STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD FAIL TO WARN OTHERS OF THE DRIVER'S INTENTIONS AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL BULLETIN FREE OF CHARGE. GM ANTICIPATES THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY JUNE 2010. A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ALL OTHER STATES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. IN THE INTERIM, OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE CAN OBTAIN A FREE REPAIR, HOWEVER THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO RETURN WHEN THE NEW DESIGN PART BECOMES AVAILABLE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INCOMPLETE TIRE RIM DESIGNATION ON THE CERTIFICATION/TIRE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR EDGE. IN ADDITION, THE LABEL MAY ALSO BE MISSING THE TIRE LOAD RATING ON THE LABEL. ALTHOUGH THIS INFORMATION IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD, IF A TIRE OF A LESSER LOAD RATING IS INSTALLED, THE TIRE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE LOADS ENCOUNTERED DURING USE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A CUSTOMER REPLACES A WHEEL AND ONLY RELIES ON THE RIM SIZE DESIGNATION THAT IS INDICATED ON THE LABEL, A WHEEL THAT IS OF A DIFFERENT RIM CONTOUR DESIGNATION MAY BE INSTALLED. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO MOUNT THE TIRE ON A WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR. IF THE TIRE IS MOUNTED ON THE WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR, THE WHEEL AND TIRE MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: A LABEL THAT WILL CORRECT THE LABEL ORIGINALLY INSTALLED WILL BE MAILED TO CONSUMERS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL. THE RECALL BEGAON ON NOVEMBER 7, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2239, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, AND GMC TRUCKS AT 1-866-996-9463.
