BUICK Complaints

REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND SENDER BECAUSE OF ERRATIC LEVELS 6 MONTHS LATER SAME PROBLEM ARROSE

GM RECALL # 140291 ISSUED NOV 25 2014 THERE IS APPARENTLY NO INTENT TO EVER FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER AND STILL AN OPEN ISSUE. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE OUR CAR AFTER DARK IN FEAR THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FAIL. IS THERE ANY NHTSA FOLLOW UP ON THESE RECALLS? WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS FIXED?

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL DISPLAY AN OFF INDICATION MANY TIMES WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. I WOULD GUESS ABOUT 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS OFF AND ON, DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR STOPPED OR TYPE OF ROAD. BELOW ASK WHEN THIS CONDITION HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS ANYTIME WE DRIVE THE CAR, NOT A SPECIFIC DATE.
