1991 GEO METRO Complaints

CONSUMER RECIVED RECALL LETTER. WHEN DEALER WAS CONTACTED, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PERFORM RECALL REPAIRS. *AK

THE CAR WAS STRUCK FROM BEHING AT A STOP LIGHT BY A BUS. THE SEAT BROKE BACKWARDS INJURING THE DRIVER, DUE TO LACK OF RESTRAINT.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION OF STALLING AND DECELERATION DUE TO FACTORY INSTALLED FAULTY PARTS. NATIONAL SERVICE BULLETINS 92-362-6A & 91-442-6E (BOTH ISSUED WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY) INDICATE THE NEED FOR "REVISED" PARTS. I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM INHERENT IN MY CAR. BY THE TIME MY CAR BEGAN MANIFESTING THESE HIGHLY DANGEROUS STALLS, WARRANTY EXPIRED. NO WILLINGNESS FROM CHEVY GEO TO REPAIR THE CAR TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR USE, WHEN OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP ME! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
