Upon frontal impact, drivers side air bag failed to deploy. Please describe details. Tt
Tl* the contact owns a 1995 chevrolet g30. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the front driver side ball joint fractured. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic who advised that the ball joint was fractured and also caused the tie rod to fracture. The vehicle was not yet repaired.
Had tires rotated and noticed tire separation and bubble on inside of tire. Found nhtsa recall campaign # 07t003000 action number eq08012. Since I did not register tires do I have any options for tire replacement?
Windshield wiper function is erratic - works some times, doesn't work other times. I took it into local dealer when a former gm employee informed me about a recall re: this malfunction, and gm dealer stated they could not locate part recall information.
Windshield wipers failed intermittently . A recall was issued; however this vehicle was not included due to vin.
I have asked other owners of the same type of vehicle if they have these problems and several of them have the same problems I have. No defect (s) listed in rhe summary.
Brakes failed on several occassions, one incident resulting in minor accident.
Anti lock brakes failed several times in an emergency application.
