2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

AT AROUND 140,000 MILES I NOTICED MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. OVERTIME IT CONTINUED TURNING ON AND OFF STAYING ON MORE FREQUENT THAN BEING OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL THAT AFFECTED THE AIRBAGS. THEY TOLD ME THEY JUST HAD TO WRAP SOME WIRES THAT GO UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND THAT WAS IT. HOWEVER THIS DID NOT TURN MY AIRBAG LIGHT OFF AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO HELP FROM ANY DEALERSHIP OR ONLINE FORUMS. I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THIS AS MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPALAS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. AS TO THE SEAT PROBLEM. WHERE MY SEAT COMES TOGETHER AT THE LOW BACK, IT SHIFTS AND MOVES AROUND. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD FIX IT AT $900. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIND A NEW SEAT AND THEN PUT MY CUSHIONS AND UPHOLSTERY ON IT.

CAR RUNNING DOWN ROAD DASH INSTRUMENTS GO OUT, WARNING LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON. ALL MAY COME BACK ON AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN, PULLING PASSENGER SEAT BELT SEEMS TO AFFECT THIS

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA AND FOR MONTHS MY CAR KEEPS LOCKING WHEN I TURN TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED, A HUB ASSEMBLY KIT PUT ON, NEW TIRE RODS, A RACK AND PINION, NEW BREAKS, NEW ROTORS AND A NEW BREAK LINE PUT ON AND STILL MY CAR KEEPS LOCKING UP ON ME. WHEN I TURN THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS COME ON AND I'M STUCK AT A PAUSE AND CAN'T MOVE FOR ABOUT 10-20 SECONDS. CAN YOU PLEASE STEER ME IN THE DIRECTION AS TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS THAT'S OUT OF MY CONTROL. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR YET IT'S THE ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I. ALSO I HAVE TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO AND FROM WORK. SO PLEASE IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN TELL ME OR WHERE TO LEAD ME PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. THANK YOU
