| 1998 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE | AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. CHEVY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED ON SIX SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, BUT IN EACH CASE THE PROBLEM RETURNED WITHIN A MONTH OR TWO. THE AIRBAG HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THIS DATE, ACCORDING TO THE INDICATOR LIGHT, EXCEPT FOR SHORT TIME PERIODS AFTER REPAIR. WE HAVE ASKED CHEVY TO FIND A PERMANENT SOLUTION WITH NO SUCCESS. *LA |
| 2004 | TIRES | WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN PORT ALLEGHENY, PA ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN OUR REAR FIRESTONE TIRE BLEW OUT. OUR VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 6,000 MILES ON IT. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING IN THE STREET TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GMAC AND FIRESTONE, BUT NEITHER SUGGESTED ANY RECALL OF OUR TIRES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE AND FUTURE BLOWOUTS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. SINCE FIRESTONE REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE STATED WARRANTY, I PURCHASED A COMPETITOR'S BRAND AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER PRICE. *NM |
