This complaint in regards to how general motors has confiscated my new car!! my recently purchased (and, paid for) chevy ss has been confiscated by gm due to gm's poorly worded recall. I have the title and keys to the vehicle but due to the recall that effects model years 2014-2016, gm has been decided that they can not release the car to me until a part has been designed, manufactured, tested, and shipped to the dealers for installation on these models!! this could take months. In the meantime: my car is sitting on the dealer's storage lot in villa park, illinois! extremely frustrated by this situation!!.

This is regarding recall number 05113 (safety belts) for which we received a recall notice for our chevy Express van which is the foundation of our forest river 22' motorhome. I assume this affects the seat belts in the cab only. Our problem is that we have been unable to find a dealer who will repair this manufacturer defect even though the letter we received states we can take it to any gm dealer. We are two weeks away from leaving on an extensive road trip with this vehicle and would like to know that it is safe and we believe it is up to the manufacturer to correct their safety defect ASAP.
