Electrical system, ignitionJul 5, 2016
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Buick Verano and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu as the electronic park lock lever may allow the ignition key to be removed without the transmission being in PARK. Also, certain 2013 Buick Encore, 2011 Buick Regal, 2013-2014 Buick Verano, 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, 2010-2013 Chevrolet Equinox 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2011-2013 GMC Terrain vehicles may have been serviced with similar defective replacement electronic park lock levers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
If the key is removed without the transmission in PARK, the vehicle may rollaway as occupants are exiting, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the key cylinder lock housing, free of charge. The recall began on October 14, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick 1-800-521-7300, and GMC 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 50490 and 50491.

Air bags, Jan 8, 2016
ON DECEMBER 27, 2015, WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 465 IN INDIANAPOLIS; WE WERE ON THE LEFT LANE, APPROX. 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN WE HEARD A HUGE EXPLOSION. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL DE CAR AND DRIVE TO THE RIGHT WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE SMELL OF BURNING WAS PRETTY INTENSE, WE WERE NERVOUS AND SHOOK UP FOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED SO MY HUSBAND STEPS OUTSIDE TO VIEW THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A SCRATCH NOTHING SHOWING THAT WE HIT SOMETHING, HE LOOKED AT THE ROAD AND EVERYTHING WAS CLEAR. WE CALL OUR INSURANCE FOR A TOWING TRUCK AND THEY TOLD US TO CALL 911 FOR A FASTER SERVICE. WHEN I CALL 911 THEY TOLD ME THE POLICE WAS NOT ABLE TO GET INVOLVED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. AFTER 1 HOUR WAITING FOR TOWING TRUCK, MY HUSBAND DECIDES TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, AND IT DID. NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE, TIERS, NOTHING. WE PULL THE SIDE AIRBAGS UP AND HOLD THEM WITH THE CAR WINDOWS AND DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. GM IS TELLING US THEY CAN'T FIND WHY DE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, BUT THEY TOLD ALLSTATE THAT WE MUST OFF HIT SOMETHING CLOSE TO THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL, AND WE HAVE ALREADY RESEARCH ALL THE ISSUES, AND IT'S TELLING US THAT THE AIRBAGS CAN'T BE DEPLOYED FOR THAT REASON. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WITH SOME BRUISES IN OUR ARMS AND NECK, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS HAS TO DO WITH ANY RECALLS OR SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG CONNECTORS UNDER BOTH FRONT SEATS. THIS WAS A NEW VEHICLE AT THE TIME SO THE CONNECTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NEW. AFTER 2 AND A HALF YEARS LATER THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY APPLIED A DIELECTRIC GEL TO THE CONNECTIONS. AS I WAITED FOR MY VEHICLE, I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH THIS CAR COMPANY AS A RECALL. I WAS THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING A CHEVY IMPALA BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO RETHINK THIS DECISION. *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN AROUND MID-JANUARY OF 2014. TWO WEEKS AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. AFTER A DAY OR SO WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE ALERT WAS GONE. TWO WEEKS AFTER TAKING IT IN TO GET FIXED, THE ALERT POPS UP AGAIN. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ON 12 MAY 2014 THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS POPPED UP FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN FOUR MONTHS. IS THERE SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE OR THIS PART? I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING AND ALL WE CAN DO IS TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO GET FIXED. LUCKILY THE LAST TIME THAT WE TOOK IT IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE ALERT CAME UP WHILE IT WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION. REGARDLESS, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DUE TO THE SAFETY BAGS NOT BEING ENGAGED WHEN THE ALERT POPS UP. *TR

OUR SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHT CAME ON. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER THAT THIS COULD DISABLE AIRBAGS. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS A 2 WEEK BACKORDER FOR NEW SWITCH. WE COULD NOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS, RENTED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THEN SPENT $750 TO REPAIR THE SWITCH. OF NOTE, THIS IS THE SAME PART THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED WITH THE NEAR IDENTICAL SISTER VEHICLE, THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. I SUSPECT THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM MAY NEED TO CONSIDER RECALLS FOR THE EQUINOX AS WELL. THEY ARE NEAR IDENTICAL VEHICLES, DASHES, CONTROLS, ETC. *TR
