Consumer Description

MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS BEEN ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW AND I JUST READ AN ARTICLE THE OTHER DAY THAT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE A SNAP-ON SCANNER FOR READING OBD2 PORTS ON A LARGE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES AND WHEN I PLUG MINE UP TO MY VOLT IT TELLS ME IT IS THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THIS SENSOR ONCE. THE DEALER TRIED TO ROB ME IN TRYING TO CHARGE ME OVER 800.00 FOR THIS VERY SIMPLE REPAIR. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS OUT YET AGAIN AND GM KNOWS THERE ARE SCORES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE VOLT BUT THEY WONT PROPERLY ADDRESS THEM. I HAD A 2017 VOLT THAT CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNT TO THE GROUND. WHAT DID THEY DO ABOUT IT? NOT A [XXX] THING. I SINCERELY HOPE THE FEDS MAKE THEM DO SOMETHING TO ADDRESS THIS VEHICLE AS LIVES ARE ON THE LINE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
