   I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT AROUND 40MPH ON A FOUR LANE ROAD WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG SIMILAR TO A GUN SHOT. SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN AND THE SEAT BELT LOCKED LOCKED UP CAUSING A CUT TO MY NECK. THE PASSENGERS SEAT BELT ALSO LOCKED UP. FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE AND OUR TWO AND FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE BACK IN THEIR CAR SEATS. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING WITH THE TRUCK AND WE DID NOT GO OVER A SPEED BUMP OR HIT A POT HOLE. I DID NOT SLAM THE BRAKES. IT WAS A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY AND THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER BASICALLY EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TRUCK IS AT BEATY CHEVROLET NOW WHERE THEY'RE SAYING THAT ITS A 2008 AND OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALMOST $1900 TO REPAIR! SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING DEFECTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR CAUSE THE DRIVER TO GET IN ACCIDENTS? THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER ON MONDAY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIR.

    TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2015, IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND STILL NO UPDATE, TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALL. HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GOING TO TAKE? A YEAR SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE EXCESSIVE.

    DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. FRONT DASH BOARD PLASTIC GOT CRACKED IN TWO PLACES IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE. MANY PICKUPS THAT I HAVE SEEN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS COME OUT, THIS IS CLEARLY AN MATERIAL DESIGN FLAW.

17. Filed Feb 8, 2016Failure Oct 2, 2015119,300 milesEL Paso, TXFuel/propulsion system

    GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF CAR. READ RECALL 12V459000. THIS INCLUDED 2007 MODELS IN AZ, CA, NV, FL, AND TX. 2008 MODEL ONLY COVERS AZ. IS THIS A LOOP HOLE BY GM CONSIDERING A POSSIBILITY THAT 2008 MODELS MIGHT BE MORE COMMON. I DON'T SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN 07-08 GIVEN SAME PARTS WERE PROBABLY USED AND WHY ONLY AZ IN A ONE YEAR MANUFACTURING DIFFERENCE. I KNOW RECALL CONFRONTATION IS NOT GM'S FORTE.

18. Filed Dec 2, 2015Failure Dec 2, 2015120,081 milesMerrillville, INVehicle speed control

    WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70MPH THE REDUCE ENGINE SPEED MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO LESS THAN 50MPH. AT NO OTHER TIME HAVE I RECEIVED THIS WARNING UNTIL I WAS IN A SPEEDING POSITION. REDUCING SPEED WHILE ON AN EXPRESSWAY IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT IS NOT IN THE CONTROL OF THE OPERATOR OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO ALL GM VEHICLES.

    HAD CHEVY MANAGER CALL ME TO DISCUSS WHY THEY REPLACED THROTTLE DUE TO HESITATION IN GAS WHEN APPLIED TO GAS PEDAL. I JUST HAD REPLACED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER DUE TO NOT PASSING SMOG. CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ABOUT THE THROTTLE CAUSING UNNECESSARY WEAR OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE ASKED WHY CHEVY DIDN'T REPAIR CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT CHEVY. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID AT THAT TIME THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IT IN TILL OVER THE WEEKEND. I WENT FORWARD WITH LOCAL SHOP THAT ACTUALLY HAD ONE. HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS PAST THE 80,000 WARRANTY BUT WOULD NOT EXCEPT THAT THE THROTTLE COULD HAVE DECREASED THE AVERAGE LIFE DUE TO THROTTLE REPLACEMENT CHEVY INDIRECTLY RECALLED. SITTING THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THROTTLE IF I HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. YES I HAVE AND WOULD LIKE TO GET A REFUND FOR THE DAMAGE THE THROTTLE CAUSED. THE CASE # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
