VAN-CON Complaints

WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR FROM CURTIS AUTO SALE I MENTION THE LIGHT BEEN ON AND THEY TOLD ME THAT GM HAD SLOT OF PARTS ON RECALL. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME THE LIGHT WAS OFF. AND SINCE THEN IT WOULD FLASH OFF AND ON BRIEFLY BUT NEVER GAVE ME ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING PLEASE RECALL THIS PART.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPAIRS DONE NOR NOTIFIED FOR ANY REPAIRS ON AIR BAG TO DATE.

TAKATA RECALL - 7/2016 RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL LETTER. STILL NO DATE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. UNABLE TO USE VEHICLE AT TIMES AS IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. NEED TO KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WHY ITS TAKING SO LONG.

"TAKATA RECALL",THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED UNDER AN AWNING AND YESTERDAY I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED IN FRONT OF THE AIRBAG. NOT ONLY CAN WE NOT GET A 200 DOLLAR AIRBAG REPLACED NOW MY DASH IS CRACKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON, IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO HELP WITH DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT WHICH COULD CAUSE MORE FRAGMENTS IF AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! DASHBOARDS PROBABLY COST MORE THAN AN AIRBAG AND IT IS ALL TIED TOGETHER.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2015, IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND STILL NO UPDATE, TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALL. HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GOING TO TAKE? A YEAR SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE EXCESSIVE.

RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR FILLED WITH WATER AFTER RAIN, SHORTED SPEAKER THUS FAR. UNKNOWN IF OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS COMPROMISED BY WATER FILLED DOOR. I FEAR THAT ELECTRICAL SWITCH IN DOOR CAN LEAD TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK TO CHILD WHO SEATS REAR SEAT BECAUSE OF WATER THAT WAS PRESENT. SEALS APPEAR TO BE IN WORKING CONDITION WITH NO TEARS OR SPLITS. MANUALLY PULLED BOTTOM SEAL TO DRAIN WATER.

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. FRONT DASH BOARD PLASTIC GOT CRACKED IN TWO PLACES IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE. MANY PICKUPS THAT I HAVE SEEN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS COME OUT, THIS IS CLEARLY AN MATERIAL DESIGN FLAW.

I WOULD BE DRIVING AND EVERYTHING WOULD START FLICKERING AND THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD BE GOING UP AND DOWN, I HAD NO CONTROL ON THE GAS BUT I COULD BRAKE. SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK - THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 2 WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED ON MAY 21ST, 2016 - I WAS IN A PARKING LOT IN SAN LEANDRO, THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING STRAIGHT.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN EXITING OFF A HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING BECAME STIFF MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN. I HAVE MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE POWER STEERING ISSUE WITH THE 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE AND IT SEEMS LIKE NO NO WIL DO ANYTHING UNTIL A TRAGIC ACCIDENT HAPPENS. BUT YET A POWER STEERING RECALLS CAN GO OUT FOR CAPRICE POLICE PURSUIT VEHICLES.

GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF CAR. READ RECALL 12V459000. THIS INCLUDED 2007 MODELS IN AZ, CA, NV, FL, AND TX. 2008 MODEL ONLY COVERS AZ. IS THIS A LOOP HOLE BY GM CONSIDERING A POSSIBILITY THAT 2008 MODELS MIGHT BE MORE COMMON. I DON'T SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN 07-08 GIVEN SAME PARTS WERE PROBABLY USED AND WHY ONLY AZ IN A ONE YEAR MANUFACTURING DIFFERENCE. I KNOW RECALL CONFRONTATION IS NOT GM'S FORTE.
