BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE OCCURS BECAUSE THE BRAKES LOCK UP. DEALER NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. VEHICLE WAS HIT FROM THE RIGHT REAR AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. DEALER NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE LIGHT SWITCH WHICH CAUSED WIRES/CONNECTION AT FUSE BOX (UNDER DASH) TO BURN AND MELT. THE EFFECT OF THIS WAS THAT ONLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THE HEADLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS WOULD NOT WORK. JUST WONDERING WHY A FUSE WOULD NOT BLOW TO INDICATE A PROBLEM INSTEAD OF WIRES BURNING AND FUSE BOX BURNING?

A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK CONSUMER COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BEING ABLE TO MOVE INTO GEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT ON, OR NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. CURRENTLY, CONSUMER HAS RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

BEFORE VEHICLE IS WARMED THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO APPLY, EXCESSIVE PRESSURE IS NEEDED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE CONSUMER RAN HEAD-ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, CAUSING THE BUMPER TO FALL OFF, AND THE DRIVER SIDE OR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL. LOSS OF CONTROL WAS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE STEERING GEAR, AS WELL AS THE STRUCTURE RUSTING AWAY FROM FRAME. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL. *AK

WHILE DRIVING NO MORE THAN 5 MPH AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT HITTING OR STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD CONTACTED DEALER, AND THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE IN 8 DAYS. RECENTLY THE ABS LIGHT FLASHES ON, DEALER PROVIDING NO HELP. *AK *ML

CONSUMER HAD A FRONT END COLLISION AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY,NO INJURIES. *AK

THE TWO INJURIES WERE SLIGHT, NECK AND BACK SPRAINS. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING LAP AND SHOULDER BELTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SPEED AT IMPACT WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON A RAINY EVENING, JUST ABOUT DUSK. THE OTHER DRIVER, COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION HAD STARTED A LEFT TURN ACROSS THE OTHER LANES WHEN HE APPARENTLY FROZE AND STOPPED THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER, DRIVING THE METRO, TRIED TO STOP BUT COULDN,T BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY AND THE SLICK ROAD SURFACE. MY DAUGHTER CONTACTED THE DEALER, LOU GRUBB CHEVROLET, ABOUT WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. THE METRO WAS TOTALLED. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THANK YOU.
