2010 Chevrolet Impala

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE HUB BEARING WIRE AND THE WIRING HARNESS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT TWICE AND THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION WAS ALSO REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE RACK AND PINION FAILURE RECURRED AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM GM IN AUGUST OF 2014 FOR MY IGNITION ON A RECALL THAT HAD BEEN OUT SINCE JULY. THEY ARE GOING TO FIX THE VEHICLE BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOW THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER THE PARTS STILL ARE NOT IN AND IT WILL PROBABLY BE THE FIRST PART OF OCTOBER BEFORE THEY ARRIVE ACCORDING TO GM. HOW CAN YOU RECALL A CAR FOR A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE CAR? APPARENTLY THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE OR MY NOTICE WOULD NOT SAY THE KEY RING IS CARRYING ADDS WEIGHT AND THE VEHICLE GOES OFF ROAD OR EXPERIENCES SOME JARRING EVENT, IT MAY UNINTENTIONALLY MOVE THE KEY AWAY FROM THE "RUN" POSITION. IF THIS OCCURS, ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING WILL BE AFFECTED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF THE IGNITION SWITCH IS NOT IN THE RUN POSITION, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR FATALITY. GM IS ALREADY HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND THIS IS ONLY INCREASING THE RISK OF MORE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? *TR
