TAKATA RECALL - NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE TYPE IN MY CAR BUT THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS FAILED. I CONSTANTLY HAVE A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND THIS SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED IN SEVERAL OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL, EVEN SOME RECALLS BUT NOT YET TO MY VIN

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, DAYS LATER, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK AGAIN WITH THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR STILL LIT. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL FOR WIRING HARNESS REPAIR BACK IN AUGUST BECAUSE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. DEALERSHIP WRAPPED THE WIRES. 3 WEEKS LATER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US WIRES WERE DAMAGED AND WIRING CONNECTOR NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS NOT PART OF RECALL. PAID $329. WHEN I READ RECALL ONLINE, IT CLEARLY STATES THE WIRES SHOULD BE INSPECTED BEFORE APPLYING THE TAPE AND IF NOT WIRING SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR NO CHARGE. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH GM AND THEY CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHO STILL SAYS WIRES ARE NOT PART OF RECALL. ADVISED WORD FOR WORD OF RECALL AND NO HAVE TO GO TO DEALERSHIP WITH PAPERWORK. MY CHILD IS DRIVING THIS CAR AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE COULD HAVE LEFT IT AS IS. REALLY?

MY COMPUTER IS ALERTING ME TO "SERVICE STABILITRACK". BASED ON SOME QUICK SEARCHES, IS SEEMS THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. WHERE DO I FIND OUT WHAT TO DO AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS COVERED UNDER A RECALL? IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING.

WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER STAY OFF AFTER SO MANY REPAIRS WE SEE NO HOPE OF IT BEING REPAIR. CHEVROLET IS DOING ANOTHER COVER UP JUST LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH. WE HAVE SPENT OVER 700 ON REPAIRS ONLY TO STILL HAVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON.

I GOT AN ALERT THAT I SHOULD "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THAT "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". THE CAR BEGAN JERKING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND HAS ACTUALLY CAUSED THE CAR TO SHUT OFF WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED (65MPH).
