2009 Chevrolet Impala

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY :SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. I GOT HOME AND LOOKED AT THE LATEST RECALL NOTICE SENT VIA MAIL TO US AND SAW THE IGNITION RECALL COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS IF NOT REPAIRED SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALER. ONCE THERE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER RECALL AND THEY WOULD FIX BOTH. I ASKED ABOUT THE LIGHT BUT WAS BLOWN OFF. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND I LEFT WITH THE LIGHT OFF. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR IT WOULD GO AWAY. THIS HAS KEPT HAPPENING BUT SINCE YESTERDAY IT IS CONSTANT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND GM AND BOTH SAY THEY ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON LINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE SECOND RECALL WAS FOR A PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONS AND LOSS OF AIR BAGS! GM IS VERY BLAISE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE IN A LONG LIST OF PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THE IMPALA. TWO OUT OF FOUR DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK UNLESS YOU MANUALLY OPEN THEM, ONE OF MY SEAT WARMERS DOES NOT FUNCTION, ETC... THIS IS A POORLY MADE VEHICLE AND THE ISSUES ARE SAFETY IN NATURE.

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.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS TRACTION SERVICE CONTROL IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IF IT HAVEN'T ALREADY!!!! IT COMES ON EVERYDAY AND, FEW MINUTES IT JUMP ON AND OFF! I HAVE TAKEN MY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TRACTION SERVICE CONTROL WHICH ALSO HAD A RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS OVER THE 120,000 MILES FOR THE THE RECALL. THE GUY ACT LIKE IT DIDN'T T DO IT WITH HIM. I CAN NOT PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANYONE BECAUSE IT STALL OUT AND MAKE NOISE TO BAD, I CAN NOT BACK UPHILLS WITHOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM. I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND I MAKE OUT; I ALSO TOLD MY FAMILY IF I DON'T PLEASE SUE THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUS! ME AND MY FAMILY ALONG WITH OTHER DRIVERS LIFE ARE IN DANGER WITH THIS PROBLEM

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...

THE CAR HAS ERRATIC SHIFTING. IT SEEMS AS IF THE GEARS GET STUCK BEFORE THEY RELEASE ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN THEN TAKING OFF, LIKE IF YOU DO A ROLLING STOP OR SLOW DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BUT DON'T STOP FULLY BEFORE ACCELERATING AGAIN. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERYTIME YOU DRIVE THOUGH. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING COMING FROM BEHIND THE DASH. THE ACTUATOR FOR AIR HAS GONE BAD.
