Consumer Description

I GOT A SAFETY BULLETIN FROM GMC #14609 STATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT,. IT CAN GO ON DUE TO WIRES IN THE REAR DOOR BREAKING, THE AIR BAG CAN GO OFF ALSO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS, I HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT OR REIMBURSE ME IF I PAID IN THE PAST TO HAVE IT FIXED. WELL THEY SAID I WAS OFF OF WARRANTY 1-15 . THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. WHY DID THEY SEND ME THIS BULLETIN WITH MY VIN NUMBER ATTACHED? I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS GMC TRUCK, YOU NAME IT IT HAS HAD A PROBLEM. MOSTLY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE AIR BAG ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BY GMC FREE OF CHARGE WHICH THEY STATE IN THE LETTER, THERE TELLING ME I AM A FEW MONTHS PAST THE 10 YEAR DEAD LINE. THAT IS A DISGRACE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC IF IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM LIKE ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS AND THE AIR BAG CAN GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I AM HOLDING THEM LIABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS THEY ARE NOT HELPING ME WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS, TOM
