THE VEHICLE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR YEARS, I THEN CANNOT START THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO GM, I HAVE HAD IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TWICE, WHICH COST ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THEM TO REPLACE PARTS WHICH HAD NO EFFECT IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OUT, THEN TURN OFF THE IGNITION FOR 10 SECONDS, THEN IT WILL START. I HAVE PUT UP WITH IT FOR YEARS, BUT WHEN I AM STRANDED IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, THAT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. YOUR REPORT WANTS TO KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE, RHYME OR REASON, AT ANYTIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2009.

I AM WRITING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST SUPREME CORPORATION 2581 EAST KERCHER RD. GOSHEN, IN 46527. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM THEM DATED AUGUST 12, 2009 WHICH INDICATED A DEFECT IN CERTAIN SPARTAN SERVICE AND CARGO BODIES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JANUARY 2006 TO JUNE 2008. I OWN A 2006 VEHICLE WITH A SPARTAN CARGO BODY. THE RECALL APPLIES TO A POTENTIAL DEFECT IN THE BONDING OF THE ROOF SKIN TO ROOF RAIL EXTRUSION AND ROOF RAIL EXTRUSION TO SIDE WALL AND INDICATES THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION PARTS OF THE ROOF SKIN OR ROOF ITSELF COULD DELAMINATE OR DISLODGE. THE RECALL FURTHER STATES THE POTENTIAL FOR DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY EXISTS TO OTHER VEHICLES OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD ANY PART OF THE ROOF BECOME UNBONDED. THE RECALL STATES THAT THERE IS AN ATTACHED LIST OF SHOPS APPROVED BY SUPREME CORPORATION TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR, HOWEVER NO LIST WAS ATTACHED. FURTHER, I CONTACTED SUPREME CORPORATION AT 800-557-2785 FOUR TIMES AND REQUESTED THE LIST OF REPAIR SHOPS. I WAS TOLD ON FOUR OCCASIONS THAT THE LIST WOULD BE EMAILED TO ME. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY EMAILS OR OTHER COMMUNICATION FROM SUPREME CORPORATION. SUPREME CORPORATION IS BEING NEGLIGENT AND IRRESPONSIBLE IN THE MATTER. *TR
