“DASH BOARD LITE SAYS "AI R BAG PROBLEM" EVERY TIME YOU START THE ENGINE”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING AND HE SMELLED A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE STARTS THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE MAKES A LOUD NOISE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION COIL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER WOULD CALL GM TO CHECK IF THE VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY. GM STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE CONTACT COULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS WITH A 10% DISCOUNT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.”

“ON OCTOBER 1, 2004 I RETRIEVED MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FROM HER CAR SEAT. I WAS HOLDING HER AND PUSHED THE INSIDE DOOR BUTTON TO CLOSE THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE I THEN LEANED IN THE FRONT SEAT TO RETRIEVE A BAG. SHE MUST HAVE REACHED BACK WHILE STILL IN MY ARMS AND THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR CLOSED, LATCHED AND LOCKED BREAKING HER ARM. I HAD TO USE THE KEY REMOTE TO OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE AND LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES WITH A [XXX] THE PERSON TO WHOM TO DIRECT QUESTIONS TO AS STATED IN THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT LETTER. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A PHONE CALL BACK NOR HAVE I RECEIVED ANY OTHER LETTERS. SINCE THEN GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED A RECALL REGARDING THE SLIDING DOORS. I HAVE MADE MANY PHONE CALLS ASKING ONLY TO RECEIVE A NEW VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE KNOWING MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN COULD POTENTIALLY GET HURT AGAIN. I CAN NOT IN GOOD FAITH SELL THIS VEHICLE KNOWING ANOTHER YOUNG PERSON COULD GET HURT. PLEASE, ACKNOWLEDGE THIS E-MAIL. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *NM *TR”

“I HAVE A FUEL LINE ON MY CAR THAT IS CRACKED AND I HAVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE FUEL LINE ONLINE AND AT O'REILLY BUT THAT PART DOESN'T EXIST ANYWHERE. I HAVE CALLED OLDSMOBILE AND THE PHONE RECORDING SAYS THAT MY CAR HAD 3 OPEN RECALLS. WHEN I TALK TO A PERSON THEY TOLD ME NO THOSE RECALLS WERE CLOSED ON MY CAR. BUT FOR ONE SPECIFIC RECALL IT DESCRIBES MY EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE NON EXISTENT PART THAT IS CRACKED ON MY CAR. THAT PART ALSO HAS A DATE FOR BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. I'VE TALKED TO THE GM DEALER NEAR WHERE I LIVE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE SAME THING THAT THOSE RECALLS ARE CLOSED. NOW CLOSED AND REPAIRED HAVE 2 DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS I THOUGHT. THE FUEL LINE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M A SINGLE MOM THAT DRIVES MY KIDS AROUND. WHAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN AND THAT CRACK IN MY FUEL LINE STARTING LEAKING FUEL ON MY ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE OLDSMOBILE AND GM SAY ITS BEEN CLOSED AND THEY CAN'T HELP ME THAT I'M SUPPOSE TO WAIT UNTIL MY CAR BLOWS UP ONE OF THESE DAYS WITH ME AND MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND WE ALL DIE? I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUE THAT I WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO NOT SEE THIS…”

WINDOW WHIPERS COMES ON WHEN IT WANTS TO AND THEY WILL NOT CUT OFF WITH THE SWITCH I HAVE TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND START IT AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE WHIPERS TO STOP.”
