IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT/WRECK SOMEONE COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE WITH NO WAY OUT. SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT IN DASH DOES NOT ILLUMINATE - UNABLE TO TELL WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARDS! CHEVY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM BEING INJURED. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 7TH THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED AS MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE. WE CONTACTED GM TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON OUR VEHICLE. WE WERE INSTRUCTED THERE WERE NOT AND WE SHOULD CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. ON FEBRUARY 11TH THEY HAD US TAKE OUR VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONDUCTED AND INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE WHY. GM RETURNED OUR VEHICLE TO US ON MARCH 3RD STATING THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS CAUSED BY SHORTED WIRES IN THE WIRING HARNESS. SINCE OUR VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL MORE ISSUES THAT WERE NOT PRESENT PRIOR TO THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE DRIVER SEAT IS STUCK IN ONE POSITION, THE REAR WINDOWS WILL NOT WORK, THE REAR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK, THE FUEL SYSTEM IS LEAKING GAS, AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD, EVEN HAVING TO BE JUMP STARTED WHEN IT WAS RETURNED TO US. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS, STATING THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE AIRBAG BLEW, WHILE WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT SMOKE INSIDE THE DASH, WE BELIEVE THE AIRBAG BURNT/SHORTED THE WIRES AFTER IT DEPLOYED. GM CLAIM NUMBER [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY REAR LIFTGATE AND WINDOW FOR MY 2005 CHEVY TAHOE WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. I'VE READ A BLOG OF ALMOST 300 DIFFERENT OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ...WWW.CHEFSEATTLE.COM/BLOG/SITE-NEWS/SUBURBAN-REAR-LIFTGATE-WONT-UNLOCK-HOW-TO-FIX. IS CHEVROLET GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE? WHAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IN THE VEHICLE AND PEOPLE NEED TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE REAR LIFTGATE DOOR? IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF CHARGING OWNERS ALMOST $500.00 TO FIX THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT OUR FAULT? *TR
