WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AN AIRBAG ALERT GOES OFF RECOMMENDING SERVICE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M DRIVING, OR NECESSARILY THE WEATHER. BUT IT DOES TEND TO GO OFF MORE FREQUENTLY IF IT'S HOT OR COLD OUT. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, AN ADAPTIVE CRUISE ALERT GOES OFF AT TIMES. I HAVE SERVICED THE VEHICLE AT LEAST THREE TIMES FOR THIS. IT IS HAPPENING LESS, BUT STILL HAPPENING.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A COUNTRY ROAD ON THE EVENING OF JANUARY 21ST. THIS IS A NON-LIT, TAR AND CHIP WITH A SOFT SHOULDER ROAD. I HIT SOME BLACK ICE AND THE CAR SWERVED RIGHT, LEFT AND I GOT IT STRAIGHT AGAIN. DURING THE SWERVE, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND THE CAR NEVER LEFT THE ROAD. I MADE A CASE WITH GM. THEY DROPPED THE CASE BECAUSE THEY SAID THE VEHICLE NEARLY ROLLED OVER. I TOLD HER THAT I AM APPEALING THE CASE BECAUSE I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION AND IF THAT IS THE REASON THEY DROPPED THE CASE, THE REPORT HAS FALSE INFORMATION. THE VEHICLE NEVER NEARLY ROLLED OVER. I AM GETTING NO COOPERATION WITH GM. MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS SITTING IN A BODY SHOP WAITING ON AIRBAGS THAT ARE BACK ORDERED. HOW CAN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAVE PARTS ON BACK ORDER ALREADY? MY INSURANCE IS PAYING THE 11,000.00 REPAIR AND THEN WILL MOST LIKELY DROP US. I AM BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP. EVERY LAWYER I HAVE SPOKEN TO WILL NOT TAKE THE CASE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO ONE WANT TO TAKE ON A MONSTER COMPANY LIKE GENERAL MOTORS.
