Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER'S SEAT DETECTOR FOR AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. THERE'S A REPORT AT MY DEALER (ACTION CHEVROLET) OF THE DEFAULT. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT AT THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AFTERSALES AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE SEAT COMPONENT INVOLVED BEEING OUTSIDE MY 60,000 KM WARRANTY (WAS A LITTLE OVER THEN!). THIS IS NOT THE RESULT OF A MISUSE OR WATER SPILL ON THE SEAT. I FEEL THAT THE SECURITY OF MY FAMILY IS JEOPARDISED BY THIS DEFECT. THE COST OF REPAIR IS IMPORTANT AND EXCEEDS OUR BUDGET OF OPERATION FOR THAT CAR. LEARNING NOW THAT MANY VOLTS OF THOSE YEARS WERE AFFECTED BY THIS IMPORTANT PROBLEM, I FEEL THAT IT QUALIFIES FOR A RECALL AND FIXING BY GM. THANK YOU FOR TREATING MY DEMAND ACCORDINGLY. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM
