Consumer Description

DUE TO A MINOR ACCIDENT WITH A DEER, WE NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS IN THIS ONLY 12-YEAR OLD VEHICLE, WITH ONLY 135,XXX MILES ON IT. A CHEVY DEALER REPORTS THAT THESE AIRBAGS ARE 'DISCONTINUED AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE'. THIS CAR SHOULD EASILY BE USABLE FOR ANOTHER 135,XXX+ MILES. OVER HALF OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE WILL BE LOST IF WE CANNOT REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROX 60 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, (SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE OF THE DEER APPROACHING). UNSAFE CONDITION IS ONLY THE UNAVAILABILITY OF NEW, REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. REST OF MINOR BODY DAMAGE IS EASILY REPAIRABLE. THIS 'EXTENDED BODY 7-PASSENGER' VEHICLE IS BUILT ON A FULL 'TRUCK' FRAME, WHICH WAS NOT DAMAGED. ONLY LOSS BESIDES THE AIRBAGS IS ONE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND MINIMAL SHEET METAL DAMAGE. *TR
