The gm recall came out in may, 2016, it is now january 2018 and still no remedy. They have been building more new vehicles for 7 more model years, what airbags are they using in them? And now they stand to get millions of dollars from takata. Who is helping the consumer here? This makes no sense. There needs to be an investigation into why the airbags cannot be replaced in a more timely manner.
Steering problem. Power steering goes out when slow down. Chevrolet is very aware of the problem and there is currently a recall on the later model vehicles. The 2000 we have is very dangerous and we have reported it numerouse times and wonder how many tragic accidents have to happen before it is corrected?
I am unhappy that gm made a recall for the problem my silverado is exhibiting however since I do not live in the neighboring state I cannot have my problem fixed. I also live in the "salt belt" being in kansas, I live 20 miles from the state of mo. I am having the exact problem as the recall - 05v379000. I wish I knew who I could contact to aid me in solving this problem. It sounds like this results in a crash due to constant corrosion. If you look at statistics of kansas city. We are equivalent to kansas city mo. I'm feeling very frustrated about this.
