6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2014

I asked for a warranty repair on my airbag. The dealer got the part and sent it back on 7-13-12. They never called, emailed or wrote me a letter. I was never contacted. . Recently. Gm recalled my keys, I asked about my airbags. For the first time, on 9-12-14, nathan barrett 313 875 0500 was the only service employee who told me the part is not at the dealer and it was sent back 2 years ago and if I wanted it I would have to pay almost 400. 00 for it. I had detrimentally relied on the representations of at least 13 different contacts with service people, over this period of time, with this service department to honor the repair. Nathan copied the service work order sheet and gave me a copy of it. There was no mention or notation of a phone call ever been made, on it. Aaron paytna and nathan barrett, service managers at james martin Chevrolet 6250 woodward Ave. Detroit, michigan 48202, refuse to honor the airbag repair although they are repairing other model airbags daily on a open safety recall from the nstb. General motors representative david at 1-866-790-5600 extension 30641 refuses to honor the repair although he has open recalls on other models for the same issue. Since general motors has a history of exploding airbags causing crashes and several open recalls on several models, I am certain that this one (2010 Hhr) should be added to the list for safety concerns. Also, the running lights have a safety issue too, on almost all models the daytime running lamps and regular lights have the right headlight out. This is not a coincidence, it is a known design defect and all gm products from 2010 forward and should be recalled as the lights cause a safety hazard. In summation, I want the 2010 Hhr recalled for their right headlights and their airbags.

7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2014

My vehicle is currently under 3 safety recalls with gm. When I contacted gm to inquire about a possible loaner vehicle until it can be repaired, I was told the dealerships were authorized to provide loaner vehicles. When I called the dealership they stated that they were only providing loaner vehicles for those whose cars were inoperable. When I contacted gm for clarification on this, they stated that loaner vehicles are available for those cars under safety recalls, of which my car is included, and sent me back to the dealership. The dealership still refuses to provide a loaner vehicle and gm is not assisting, just sending me back to the dealership. This car is under recalls in which there were serious accidents and deaths involved. There is no way I am driving this car. Can you help with this situation?.
