THE MATERIAL ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT KEEPS PULLING AWAY FROM THE SIDE AIR BAG LEAVING AN UNSIGHTLY HOLE IN THE SEAT BACK. THE PROBLEM STARTED AS SOON AS I PURCHSED THE CAR 11 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY SATISFACTION. THE LAST TWO TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT GM IS PREPARING A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WITH A FIX BUT NOTHING SO FAR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHEVROLET AND THEY CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THEY WERE TRYING. I WAS PROMISED A FREE LOF FOR MY TROUBLE. MY MAIN COMCERN IS THAT I PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND HAVE YET TO HAVE MORE THAN TWO DAYS WITHOUT THE DEFECT AND UNSIGHTLY SEATBACK. I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS ALL OF MY LIFE AND I AM SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ACTIONS AND EFFORTS OF THE DEALER AND OF THE LEVEL OF CONCERN OF CHEVROLET.

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON BUT NO CODES SHOW UP, CAR ENGINE QUITS AFTER PUTING IN GEAR(REVERSE). STEERING AND BRAKES QUIT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE USED TO STOP. *AK
