Example complaints
Air bags: “I have called my local dealer for my car will hit a bump shut off and come right back on. Also the air bag light will not go off. I have asked them if this was part of the recall they said even if it was its to long for them to cover it under the recall id have to pay myself. It sounds to me as this issue is part of the recall. What can I do to have this issue fixed under the recall statue?”

These codes puts the engine in 'reduced power mode' and at any time. It is very similar to the GM tech bulletin 11-06-04-007b and 11273, but this vehicle ' is not covered. It was in the shop several times with this problem with out a fix, but now I feel it is getting worse and is now a bad safety issue.
