| Airbag derm module failed, disabling the airbag system. dealer and chevrolet determined failure was due to water in passenger compartment shorting out module. dealer determined, and chevrolet admitted, that water came in through holes in chassis opened up due to improper installation of patches at time of vehicle manufacture. despite this, chevrolet refused to pay for repair, due to vehicle being out of warranty. fuel line break occured at highway speeds, spraying fuel over car exhaust system and trailing cars. passing motorist motioned me to side of road, helping to prevent fire/explosion. vehicle was repaired under warranty, but to the best of my knowledge, chevrolet never notified nhtsa or investigated problem.*ak | |||
