I HAVE COMPLAINED BEFORE, WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. WASN'T IN ANY KIND OF AN ACCIDENT. IT IS DEFECTIVE AND NO ONE WILL HELP GET IT FIXED. THERE ALREADY IS TSB FROM 2006. WE MOVED FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO FLORIDA AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS IT CAME ON AND STAYED ON.

KEY IGNITION SWITCH IS LOOSE AND CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING, KEY CAN BE PULLED OUT OF IGNITION WHILE RUNNING. IF VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE OPERATING THEN YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF BRAKES, STEERING, AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. GM IS DENYING THERE IS A PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS PROOF THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THE CHEVY AVALANCHE 2003 HAS A PROBLEM. *TR

FREQUENTLY WHILE IN DRIVE THE SERVICE AIR BAG COMES ON. WHEN THIS LIGHT/INDICATOR COMES ON THIS DEACTIVATES THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE/DEFECT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BY GM/CHEVROLET TO HAVE THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ON OCCASION THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON, USUALLY WHILE DRIVING. ON SUBSEQUENT STARTS, NO LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. EVENTUALLY THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I ASSUMED THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER INITIATED ALERT TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS CHECKED AFTER 100,000 MILES. WHEN I NEXT BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE SERVICE, I ASKED THE ADVISER TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS CHECKED BECAUSE OF THE WARNING LIGHT. HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON THE AIRBAGS WERE INOPERATIVE! I TOLD HIM TO GET IT CORRECTED. AFTER 90 MINUTES MY CAR WAS RETURNED WITH THE NOTICE THAT A PRELIMINARY CHECK DID NOT UNCOVER THE CAUSE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE AT ANOTHER TIME AND EXPECT TO INCUR SEVERAL HOURS OF TROUBLE SHOOTING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. SINCE MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PARTS AND LABOR. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY AN INOPERATIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. PERHAPS IF GOVERNMENT MOTORS WAS PRIVATELY HELD, THE ACTUAL GOVERNMENT WOULD FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR ALL SUCH SAFETY RELATED ISSUES. *TR
