Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My airbag light was on. Chevy dealership diagnosed it and I need a new passenger presence module. They said this is up to me to find. I have been searching for a new one and cannot find it anywhere. I also called GM and they gave me some websites to try, which was to no avail. My car only has 37,000 miles on it and is in very good condition and has never been in a accident. My granddaughter is going to be driving it if we can fix it. I am very frustrated at this point, and very disappointed with Chevrolet and GM. We own 2 Chevrolet's”
