DEALER HAS PERFORMED SEVERAL FIXES, PUT A SLEEVE OVER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT, REPLACED BODY MOUNTS,NOW IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN TO THE RIGHT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT A STOP. DEALER SAYS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME GM CUSTOMER SERVICE #, WHO IN TURN GAVE ME THE BBB AUTO LINE. IT WILL NOT PASS MO. VEHICLE INSPECTION. THEY TOLD ME TO PUT ONE FOOT ONE BRAKE AND ONE ON THE GAS TO TURN TO THE RIGHT. NOT ONLY DO I PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK EVERY TIME I MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, BUT ALSO YOURS!. *JB

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT VEHICLES THAT HAD THERE SEATS RECOVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT GM. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT HAD THE ORIGINAL CLOTH SEATS RECOVERED IN AFTERMARKET LEATHER BY THE DEALERSHIP (THIS VEHICLE HAS THE AUTOMATIC AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM) AND I WAS WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE IS IMPACTED IN THE SAME WAY AS THOSE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED. THE REASON I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION IS THAT IN THE REMEDY SECTION OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT 0641700 IT STATES "A REPLACEMENT LEATHER SEAT COVER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM IS NOT AVAILABLE" WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THE SEAT COVERS INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP IS UNSAFE. IF MY VEHICLES IS IMPACTED, THEN WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? IF MY VEHICLE IS NOT IMPACTED, THEN HOW AND WHY IS MY SEAT COVERS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SENSING SYSTEM? (I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DIFFICULT, BUT I'M CONCERN THE VEHICLE MY BE UNSAFE FOR MY PASSENGER) . *NM

SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE. SPEEDOMETER PEGGED OUT AT 120 WHEN 1 WAS GOING 65 MPH. DEALER SAID $400 TO FIX SINCE I AM 1200 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. CHEVROLET IS GOING TO COVER HALF OF THE AMOUNT FOR REPAIR HOPEFULLY SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. MAYBE THERE IS HOPE FOR A FULL RECALL. *NM
