FIRST OF ALL THEY WEREN'T VERY WELCOMING BUT LONG STORY SHORT THEY SAID THAT ITS NOT A RECALL I HAVE TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE MODULE WHICH WILL COST $1500 TO GET IT FIXED. I AM VERY CONFUSED. THEY SAID THE RECALL IS FOR PASSENGER SIDE PRESSURE SENSOR AND THEY ARE HAVING ME REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MODULE.

THE THROTTLE BODY ON SEVERAL GM VEHICLES HAS FAILED. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, THEN THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER START LIGHT WENT ON, THEN THE CAR SPUTTERED, SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY AND YOU CANNOT GET POWER TO MOVE OVER 30. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES.
