| I started my vehicle on january 11, 2013 and the service airbag light came on in the information center in my dash. i took the car to horne auto in show low, az, where i bought the car, on january 18, 2013 to have it looked at and was told that it would not be covered under the extended warranty that i had purchased and was told it would be approximately $730 to fix. i went home and got the information from my local mechanic to contact gm about the problem. i was told there was a bulletin sent out that i had until november 30, 2012, to get said problem fixed. in researching this bulletin on safercar.gov, this bulletin was sent out november 1, 2012. since i never received the bulletin and didn't know about the problem until january 11, i was told i would have to pay for the fix out of my own pocket. i put in a complaint to gm and was then told i could get it fixed for half the cost since gm was going to cover the other half. i put in another complaint to gm to have them fix the problem, seeing this is a safety issue for my kids that i drive around in this vehicle, i do not believe i should have to pay anything for a safety issue that is not my fault and that gm knows about. i don't want anyone else to have to pay for this issue either. i am still waiting for gm to resolve this issue. | |||
