MY SIDE DETECTION MODULES WENT. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR 3 WEEKS. 3 WEEKS LATER I HAVE NO ELECTRICAL POWER INCLUDING SPORADIC HEADLIGHTS, AND BLINKERS. I HAVE NO AIR BAGS. THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. NOW ITS BEEN 6 WEEKS NOW. I DECIDE TO CALL CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE. I WAS TOLD SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME. THAT I SHOULD GO RENT A CAR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TILL THE PARTS COME IN SOMEDAY. THEY DO NOT CARE IF I AM SAFE SINCE I HAVE NO WARRANTY?!?!?! THIS SIDE DETECTION MODULE IS A DANGER AND A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE OFFERING EVERYONE INVOLVED A RENT A CAR TILL THEY CAN FIX THE ISSUE. ITS A GREAT FEELING TO KNOW CHEVROLET DOESN'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT YOUR SAFETY!!!
