"TAKATA RECALL" AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, WENT THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND WILL COST MONEY. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO FIX AN AIRBAG/SERVICE WHICH HAS NOT DEPLOYED?. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY WHEN AIRBAG FIRST CAME ON.

THE GROUND WIRE ON THE SEAT HEATER CONTROL BOX, (LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT), BECOMES SO HOT THAT IT MELTS THE INSULATION ON THE WIRE AND EVENTUALLY BURNS LOOSE FROM THE PLUG CONNECTION. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR BUT GM REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS THE OWNER PAYS FOR IT, (NEARLY $1,000). I HAVE REPAIRED THIS MYSELF ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS BUT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS RE-OCCURRING.

TAKATA RECALL,THE DEALER WOULDN'T GIVE ME A CORRECT TRADE IN VALUE BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL.CAN A DEALER PUT A TAKATA RECALL CAR ON THEIR LOT.
