5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2003

I own a 2000 Chevrolet Venture minivan. Recently, my airbag light would go on and off while driving. I brought the minivan into my mechanic who today diagnosed a malfubction in the driver's side airbag pretentioner. What prompted me to write this complaint is that when the mechanic called to order a new part, the parts distributor told him that this is a very common problem on Chevrolet Ventures and that he sells many replacement pretentioner units for chevy Ventures. As a defect in the airbag pretentioner could have fatal consequences in the event the airbag fails to deploy as a result of the defective pretentioner, I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this issue and require chevorlet to reimburse me for the costs and expenses incurred in replacing the defective pretentioner. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
