2009 Chevrolet Impala

CHEV RECALL #16V507000 REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE. I REPORTED THAT I HAD THE RECALL NOTICE BUT THAT I ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG BUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD GET IT TO TURN OFF BY MOVING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK AND FORTH AND/OR UP AND DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM REPORTED IN THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. AT THE DEALERSHIP,THE CAR COMPUTER VERIFIED THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK THE CARE IN FOR THE RECALL, THEY CHECKED THE PASSENGER SEAT WIRING UNDER WARRANTY BUT CHARGED ME $130.12 TO GET THE DRIVER'S SEAT WIRING FIXED. THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. SEEMS GM DOESN'T CARE IF THE DRIVER GETS KILLED OR INJURED.

I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTO MALL IN BRATTLEBORO VT FOR THE RECALL 36110 PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT SENSING. THEY HAD IT ALL DAY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND IT STILL DOESN'T SENSE ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THEY ALSO GAVE ME A LIST OF 9 CODES THAT MY CAR NOW HAS BUT DIDN'T BACK IN JUNE 3 OF WHICH I KNOW ABOUT TIRE AND DEAD BATTERY IN MY REMOTE AND MY ACTUATOR DOOR, THE REST ALL HAVE TO DO WITH ELECTRIC ISSUES. I THINK STEMMING FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I WOULDN'T PAY 90.00 TO HAVE IT CODED AGAIN SO I LOOKED UP THE CODES MYSELF AND THEY ARE ALL LOOP OPEN CIRCUIT AND ONE IS SECOND ROW SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CONTROL. SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS MORE THAN WRAPPING THE WIRES IS GOING TO FIX, I THINK IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALL BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY DID WRAP OR CHANGE THE HOUSING?? MY CODES ARE AS FOLLOWS B0223 B3060 B3031 B1325/3 B0074 C0755 BOO1B/4 B0021/04. HELP PLEASE ALL I WANT IIS TO BE ABLE TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED. AS I SAID I HAD NO CODES UNTIL THIS STARTED WHEN THE SAME DEALER CHANGED MY PPS MODULE BACK A FEW MONTHS AGO WHICH WAS A RECALL TOO. WHEN MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND TRACTION CONTROL AND LOSS OF POWER. AFTER AUTO MALL FIXED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THEY HAD THE NERVE TO ASK IF I HAD MICE LIVING IN MY CAR...

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR ABOVE CAR FOR THE AIRBAG. THE RECALL IS #36110. IT STATES THAT DIC ALERTS MAY INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT ON MY CAR HAS BEEN DOING EXACTLY THAT. I BROUGHT IT TO CURRY CHEVROLET IN WHITE PLAINS, NY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN THAT WON'T TURN OFF AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $700 TO FIX IT. THE CAR ONLY HAS $31,000 MILES ON IT. I AM 80 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS I AM ON A FIXED INCOME. I FEEL THE AIRBAG RECALL/AND LIGHT PROBLEM ARE DEFINITELY RELATED. I AM 80 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS I AM ON A FIXED INCOME. I FEEL THE AIRBAG RECALL/AND LIGHT PROBLEM ARE DEFINITELY RELATED AND THAT I AM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ASSISTANCE.

I HAVE GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH GM AND CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO HAVE REFUSED TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE MY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN CHARGED 99$ PER VISIT TO JONES CHEVROLET AND STILL HAVE THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE. IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND INTERMITTENTLY GOES AWAY ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. IT STARTED OFF WITH THE LIGHT JUST TURNING ON WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR A ROUGH ROAD BUT NOW EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT COMES ON. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT AN AIR BAG ISSUES IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY AFTER MY WARRANTY IS UP HOWEVER THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED OR THE CAR HAS NEVER GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT SO I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHY IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR OF SUCH AN INTEGRAL SAFETY PART OF THE VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD LAST AND FUNCTION WITHOUT ISSUES FOR AT LEAST A LITTLE WHILE IF NOT FOR A LONG TIME AFTER THE INITIAL WARRANTY IS UP. I HAVE NOW SPEND IN THE UPWARDS OF $800 OUT OF POCKET TO TRY AND GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BUT GM HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE AT ALL. I HAD TO LEAVE 5 VOICEMAILS TO AN ADVISOR TO CALL ME BACK AND SHE AND HER SUPERVISOR RUDELY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A RESOLUTION AND IF GOD FORBID I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO DEPLOY BUT DIDN'T DO SO IT WOULD BE ON ME AND GM WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE TRANSCRIPTS OF SERVICE AND RECORDED CALL FROM THEM TO PROVE THIS. PLEASE ASSIST.

AIRBAG SERVICE MESSAGE AND AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. PAID 269.36 4/22/2016 SO IT WOULD PASS STATE INSPECTION. LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS, NOW IT IS GIVING US THE SAME PROBLEM. RETURNED TO DEALER, SAID COST TO REPAIR WITH NEW HARNESS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULD BE AROUND 250.00 MORE. THE GENERAL HAS A HUGE PROBLEM HERE.
