    MY 1998 OLDSMOBILE 88LS HIT A DEER ON 11/05/1999 AND BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NOURSE DEALERSHIP BODY SHOP ON 11/07/1999 FOR REPAIRS. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THIS VEHICLE AND THEY CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT THEY WILL HAVE THEM BY JULY. MY CAR IS JUST SITTING THERE! ISN'T THIS A VIOLATION OF US CODE: TITLE 49, SECTION 30127 ? HELP! I PAID OVER $20,000.00 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I AND MY WIFE NEED IT DESPERATELY BUT IT HAS BEEN NEARLY FIVE MONTHS ALREADY AND NO REAL HOPE THAT THE AIRBAG WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER FOUR MORE MONTHS. WE ARE ELDERLY RETIRED CITIZENS WHO WANT TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE BUT THE RENTAL VEHICLE GM FINALLY PROVIDED TODAY IS RESTRICTED AS TO MILES AND DISTANCE SO WE CANNOT GO SEE OUR SON IN WASHINGTON STATE. AIRBAGS ARE MANDATORY, SO SHOULDN'T AN INVENTORY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS ALSO BE MANDATED? PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN DO ANYTHING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. SIGNED RICHARD AND ROSEMARY GARRISON. *AK

    WHEN TURNING ON THE AIR CONDITIONER IT BLOWS OUT A FUNNY ODOR THAT SMELLS LIKE URINE. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE BLOWER DIDN'T DRY PROPERLY AND HELD WATER, WHICH CAUSED MILDEW. *AK

    PROBLEM IS IN COLD WEATHER THE HORN BLOWS BY ITS SELF. IT WILL START TO BLOW AND KEEP BLOWING TILL DISCONNECTED. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY HAD TO CALL THE GM TECH SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM IN THAT YEAR CAR. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE HORN AND AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FOR THE COST OF 680.00. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DON'T BELIVE THIS IS A WARRANTY ISSUE ANYWAY. IS THERE ANY THING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS OR HAVE YOU RECEIVED AND OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME NATURE. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP ON THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPERCIATED. THANK YOU DAVID HOOLEY. *AK
