Description of the problem | I own a 2006 chevrolet aveo and it has several occurrences of the air bag not on light. I have taken it to my local chevy dealer for repairs the first 4 times under warranty and the last visit lightened my wallet by almost $500. 00 and guess what it's back on again. I have people now that ride with me that refuse to ride in the passenger seat because they do not believe the bags will operate properly in a crash. Like i said this vehicle was purchased new and this has happened 5 times now in less than 3 years. They have replaced sensors, connectors, wire bundles and 1 time could not get it to duplicate after they reset it. So my question is to you, who does my attorney need to contact when the lawsuit is filed after someone riding in my vehicle dies from lack of airbag deployment? Will chevrolet step up and take responsibility or do they shift blame to you for lack of pursuit in this matter? Let me know so the victims relatives can lighten your or chevrolets wallets for lack of action on a very vital safety item in these vehicles. |
