Consumer Description

MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE FAULTY AIR SUSPENSION OF A NUMBER IF GM SUVS. THESE INCLUDE THE TRAILBLAZER, ENVOY, AND 9-7X (WHICH I OWN). THE AIR SUSPENSION LEAKS AND FAILS TO STAY CALIBRATED WHICH RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE SAGGING TO ONE SIDE. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. WHILE CORNERING OR PERFORMING ANY EMERGENCY ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE MANEUVERS THE VEHICLE FEELS VERY DANGEROUS. I CAN IMAGINE THAT THERE HAVE A NUMBER OF ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THESE VEHICLE BEEN MADE SAFER. GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS TO THEIR TECHNICIANS. HOWEVER, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY AN INVESTIGATION HAS NOT BEEN LAUNCHED INTO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
