WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE BRAVADA, BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AT THE SAME TIME. DRIVER AIR BAG STRUCK ME ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE CAUSING BURNING SENSATION AND REDNESS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ONCE I PUT IT INTO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND THE STEERING, BRAKES, GAS DIDN'T WORK. I HAD TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND RESTART IT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE WITHIN THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND THE PREVIOUS 2 INSTANCES OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY MOVING AND ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD SOME EXTREMELY CLOSE CALLS THAT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY DANGEROUSLY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I USE MY CAR KEYS WITHOUT ANY OTHER KEYS ATTACHED, SO THAT IT'S AS LIGHTWEIGHT AS POSSIBLE. IN THE PAST YEAR, THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES AND IS BEGINNING TO OCCUR MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME RECOGNITION OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON IN TOLL ROAD WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM BACK ON BY GOING TO MANUAL. THEY ALSO FLICKERED ON & OFF EVEN WITH CAR OFF AND KEY OUT OF IGNITION. HAD RECALL ON IGNITION, RECALL 143510, ADVISED GM AND DEALER OF PROBLEM. THEY SAID WASN'T COVERED BY RECALL. STILL A RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO START THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS YOU MUST WAIT 10 MINS TO RESTART AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START OR YOU HAVE TO WAIT THE RECYCLE TILL AGAIN. GM DID A RECALL ON THE KEY ITSELF TO ADD A HOLE IN THE KEY FOR THE WEIGHT SITUATION, BUT DID NOT HELP THE IGNITION PROBLEM OF STARTING THIS VEHICLE. MY QUESTION IS WHY HASN'T THIS PROBLEM BEEN ADDRESS YET? I HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
