What owners wrote
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 40 MPH impact. Driver's side seat belt failed to hold the driver in place , and the driver's side air bag failed to deploy. Driver sustained injuries, and was transported to the local hospital by an ambulance. Dealer was contacted, and the vehicle is at the body shop.
Several months ago I received a safety recall for this vehicle. I took the truck to my chevy dealership, they told me they could not perform the repair because the odometer had over 120,000 miles on it. My question is this, do all safety recalls no longer become safety problems when the odometer reaches a certain number ? If this is the case there must be thousands of safe unsafe vehicles on our highways due to this type of enforcement. Please tell me this is a joke.
