I received an letter in the mail stating that my vehicle had an recall for airbags. I call gerry lane south Chevy in baton rouge, la and they refused to honor it. I've contacted them about 3 weeks ago. Can someone help me with this? I would hate for something to happen to me if I was in an accident. Also, I've looked on NHTSA website for other recalls on my vehicle. My vehicle has an recall for an wheel hub assemblies. My vehicle pulls to the right to the point that I have to stop to the vehicle (if I can), and it roars very. According to the NHTSA website the vehicle should have the recalled done but I don't believe it was done correctly. Can I get the dealership to fix the recall if the recall was already done? I am the second owner of the vehicle.

I purchased the 2007 Chevrolet trailblazer thinking I would have a good dependable car, not so. The stabil-I trac check light comes on and then when the cat is restarted it goes off. The gas gauge has dropped to empty and will no longer indicate fuel in tank, there has been a recall notice on this , however GM is only paying for 50% of the cost of repair. I had and accident ($ 2400.00) due to this gas gauge failure, no one hurt but could have been disastrous. GM was notified and a claim filed and the results were they were not at fault. Now the lowbeam lighting system on the vehicle has gone out. I have had the fuses, sensor, and the bulbs checked and no one can find the problem. I am very frustrated with GM and the fact that the cars they produce now are substandard and they are not standing behind their products.where do I turn now? I need my vehicle.

Driving down a paved road at apx 40 miles an hour and heard a loud sound like a shot gun going off, my driver side seat belt clamped down and the flashers on the truck turned on. Startled I pulled over and had to struggle to get the seat belt off. Had to shut off and restart vehicle, now seat both driver and passenger side won't work, they are locked in position. After contacting local dealer I was told I needed a new airbag control module and I had to replace both seat belts. I am bruised from the seat belt and very happy there were no other vehicles around as the disorientation from the event very well could have caused an accident.
While driving at any speed would roll down window and head lights would dim. Blower for heater and defroster would cut in and out. There was a distinct odor when using defroster and then it quit all together. This was during winter which made the truck un-drivable until repaired. 10-14 day after the blower motor was replaced the oil sending unit stopped working and all warning lights were lite up. The dealer ship stated that it was a know issue with the wiring harness and needed to be replaced which was not cheap. They did say even though it is a know issue that we were responsible for the cost of repair.
While driving at different speeds door locks will cycle on and off, exterior lights and dash display will go off, wipers will freeze, all gauges will go zero and two or three warning lights will come on such as stabilitrak, ABS brakes or service air bags.
