| 2000 | AIR BAGS | AIR BAG READINESS LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS BROUGHT FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT?S A LOOSE WIRE. OKAY FOR A MONTH. NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. REPORTED TO GM, INCIDENT#1-114736540. WAS TOLD NO OTHER PERSON HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, TO TAKE FOR SERVICE AGAIN, IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD AS LONG AS THE CAR ISN'T STALLING, PROBABLY IT?S JUST A LOOSE WIRE AGAIN. EMAILED GM AGAIN AND TOLD THAT THEY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONCERNS, BUT ARE UNABLE LOCATE A PREVIOUS REQUEST, OR CREATE A NEW ONE WITH THE INFORMATION I PROVIDED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS RESPONSE. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THIS INDICATOR LIGHT CHECKS ,THE AIR BAG SYSTEM: THE ELECTRICAL, THE AIR BAG MODULE, THE AIR BAG SENSORS,THE WIRING AND CRASH SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE. THAT THE BAG COULD GO OFF WITHOUT A CRASH, OR MIGHT NOT GO OFF IN A CRASH. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I KNOW 2 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *LA |
| 2012 | STRUCTURE:BODY | UPON ARRIVING AT A RESTAURANT LOCATION WHERE WE PLANNED TO DINE, MY SPOUSE OPENED THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR USING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. WHILE PUSHING THE DOOR OPEN SHE RELAXED HER HANDHOLD ON THE HANDLE ALLOWING HER RIGHT HAND PINKIE FINGER TO BECOME CAPTURED BETWEEN THE RETRACTING HANDLE AND THE FLAT AREA WHERE THE HANDLE IS ATTACHED. IT PINCHED HER FINGER AND IT IMMEDIATELY FORMED A BLOOD BLISTER AND WAS VERY PAINFUL. AFTER SHE EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, I INSPECTED ALL OF THE OTHER DOORS AND DISCOVERED THAT IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO REPLICATE HER TYPE OF INJURY AT ANY OF THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES. I THEN TOOK A PICTURE OF HER INJURY AND THE PROBLEM INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. *TR |
