I called my local chevy automobile place and they can not find the recall on 36110 passenger presence sensor and instrument cluster malfunction I need this fixed because I can tell how fast I'm going not see how much gas I got in my tank none of the instruments in the dashboard work I'm always running out of gas and I can't tell if car is hot or cold car is in motion when all this occurs.

Car running down road dash instruments go out, warning lights flicker off and on. All may come back on and then go out again, pulling passenger seat belt seems to affect this.

Autonation along with gm communicated with my mechanic and myself and told me that my car repairs would be completed and paid for by gm as part of recall work and subsequent damage from the recall work not being performed before additional damage could occur. We were even told that our rental car would be paid for but once they towed the car from our mechanic to their shop, they told us that we would have to pay for that, although didn't communicate that to us until over a month had gone by. Subsequently, autonation towed my car back to my mechanic but with even more damage than they themselves stated had been the situation with my car. Their own mechanic stated both verbally and in writing (in the work order) that the recalled wires shorted causing the damage to my car. No one will tell us why that changed once our car was towed to them as we would never have towed it to them if that would have been the case. Additionally, no one has told us why or who the someone is who disagreed with their own mechanic (and 3 additional mechanics subsequently) and made the determination that we would have to pay for the short and related damages. I do have the gm document safety recall report associated with this recall that outlines what happened to our call will happen to 1 percent of the cars manufactured during the timeframe my car was manufactured as well as the work order from autonation clearly stating a short caused damage to my vehicle.

Key gets stuck in ignition, rap fuse blows, then when inserting new rap fuse (10 amp) it shorts before the fuse can be placed in the fuse box. This seems to be a common problem in many Chevrolet vehicles. Stationary when this happened (shifting into park), accessing electrical fuse box is a safety issue (appears to be something live that causes the new fuse to blow). Safety due to inability to get key out and resultant dead battery, failure to start, etc. The shorting of the rap fuse and the resultant inability to remove the key could turn into a larger safety issue, gm should investigate and issue a TSB.

I took my car to auto mall in brattleboro vt for the recall 36110 passenger seat occupant sensing. They had it all day said they fixed it but the airbag light is on and it still doesn't sense anyone in the passenger side seat. They also gave me a list of 9 codes that my car now has but didn't back in June 3 of which I know about tire and dead battery in my remote and my actuator door, the rest all have to do with electric issues. I think stemming from the original recall. I wouldn't pay 90. 00 to have it coded again so I looked up the codes myself and they are all loop open circuit and one is second row seat belt pretensioner deployment control. Seems to me that there is more than wrapping the wires is going to fix, I think it all has to do with the recall but they refuse to do anything. I don't even know what they did wrap or change the housing?? my codes are as follows b0223 b3060 b3031 b1325/3 b0074 c0755 boo1b/4 b0021/04.

Was driving along at 55mph and the service traction system light came on followed by the reduced engine power light. Then the car just completly died. I was able to get to right shoulder and park it.

I am looking for answers and plan on taking it to the chevy dealership I purchased the car from today or tomorrow.
