2009 Chevrolet Impala

AT AROUND 140,000 MILES I NOTICED MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. OVERTIME IT CONTINUED TURNING ON AND OFF STAYING ON MORE FREQUENT THAN BEING OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL THAT AFFECTED THE AIRBAGS. THEY TOLD ME THEY JUST HAD TO WRAP SOME WIRES THAT GO UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND THAT WAS IT. HOWEVER THIS DID NOT TURN MY AIRBAG LIGHT OFF AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO HELP FROM ANY DEALERSHIP OR ONLINE FORUMS. I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THIS AS MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPALAS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. AS TO THE SEAT PROBLEM. WHERE MY SEAT COMES TOGETHER AT THE LOW BACK, IT SHIFTS AND MOVES AROUND. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD FIX IT AT $900. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIND A NEW SEAT AND THEN PUT MY CUSHIONS AND UPHOLSTERY ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V507000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED AT PAT O'BRIEN CHEVROLET EAST (2810 BISHOP RD, WILLOUGHBY HILLS, OH 44092), THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG WIRING UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,807.

I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY AUTOMOBILE PLACE AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE RECALL ON 36110 PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTION I NEED THIS FIXED BECAUSE I CAN TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING NOT SEE HOW MUCH GAS I GOT IN MY TANK NONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS IN THE DASHBOARD WORK I'M ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND I CAN'T TELL IF CAR IS HOT OR COLD CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN ALL THIS OCCURS
