Takata recall? I would like to know what recalls were made on this vehicle that I might have missed? And what to do about them. My dealer went out of business and I was never notified about any of the recalls I am just now finding out about. Thank you.
I had the ignition sleeve required in recall done. Never had problems with key before that. Since then, have trouble starting car; the garage replaced battery (was 6 yrs. Old) because they could find nothing else wrong with the car. Still I have difficulty starting the car..........yesterday it took 3 tries. I moved in the interim of having this done....so going back to simon chevrolet in woonsocket,ri is out of the question. I called salvatore chevrolet in gardner, ma. And they told me there would be a $200. Charge to find out what the problem was. Never had problems before and this should not be a charged for issue. Any suggestions? Also, this morning the diamond shaped button for the warning lights broke off and fell into dash......the car is sound and I keep it well kept up. These are just frustrating issues. Please advise. Thank you for the time and effort put into this matter. Sincerely....[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My vehicle was wrecked by another vehicle on the passenger side. The vehicle that hit my vehicle was going excessive speeds (50-60mph) and ran a stop sign. During the incident a passenger was thrown from the vehicle out of the passenger side window. The front axel was broken and the entire passenger side wheel was torn off including the axel and brakes. There was so much damage done to the front passenger side of the vehicle it is a major concern that no airbags were deployed during impact. The vehicle advertises driver and passenger airbags.
I was pulling ip to a stop sign and my throttle stuck and I had no control to stop it and a guy hit me in the front end where all the sensors to my airbags were and they never deployed and the guy was going 95 MPH when he hit me.
