2001 OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE Complaints

SHORT AND SWEET, I WAS IN MY VEHICLE, STATIONARY IN MY YARD, NOT RUNNING WITHOUT THE KEY AND I WAS LOCKED IN. IT WOULD NOT LET ME OUT. ONE CAN IMAGINE MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THIS WOULD BE DEATH-INDUCING. (FRAILER PERSON, NO HEAVY OBJECTS TO BREAK WINDOWS, MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, NO CELL PHONE, ETC, ETC, ETC.)

IVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. FRIDAY JUNE 1 2018 I WAS DRIVING WITH ALL 4 OF MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND MY DRIVER REAR SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF THE VEHICLE COMPLETLY . ALL 3 LATCHES THAT ATTACH THE DOOR TO THE VEHICLE DETACHED AND THE DOOR WENT TO THE FLOOR. WERE WERE MOVING STATE I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH

MY COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT COMPANIES NEED TO TRACK DOWN ANY OWNER OF A VEHICLE THAT THEIR COMPANY MAKES. MY DAD PURCHASED THIS OLDSMOBILE VAN, IT WAS A USED VEHICLE, HE DID NOT REALIZE THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS, AND AIR BAGS. I SHARED A MAIL BOX WITH HIM, AND I GOT THE MAIL EVERY DAY, SO I KNOW HE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFO ON THIS. IN 2010 MY DAD WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK THAT WAS NOT HIS FAULT, IF YOU LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE IT WAS NOT EVEN AS BAD AS SOME YOU SEE, BUT IT WAS HIS FRONT END THAT WAS HIT STRAIGHT ON. MY DAD DID NOT LIVE, HE DIED THE NEXT DAY. THE PERSON THERE ON THE SCENE TOLD ME THAT WHILE HE WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT IT HADN'T APPEARED TO HAVE HELD HIM, AND UNSURE IF THE AIR BAG COMPLETELY INFLATED. HE WAS THE ONLY FAMILY I HAD LEFT, NO PARENTS, NO GRANDPARENTS, NO SIBLINGS, AND I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, AND I COULD STILL HAVE HIM HERE WITH ME, IF HE WAS ONLY NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT OTHERS TO GO THROUGH WHAT I HAVE. THE NEUROSURGEON COULD NOT BELIEVE THE SEVERITY OF HIS INJURIES IN COMPARISON TO OTHER ACCIDENTS, HIS WERE TRAUMATIC, HE HAD A SEVERE BRAIN INJURY, AND CRUSHED CHEST INJURIES, WHICH GOES RIGHT ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT THE BELT NOR BAG DID NOT WORK RIGHT, AND HE FELT THE FULL FORCE OF THE STEERING WHEEL.
