Description of the problem | I have had this problem for two years. I had it fixed on 08/10/1998. I received the recall for the calibration in the air bags computer in oct 98. I took my car to bay chevrolet (6970 n. Military hwy. Norfolk, va 23518)(757-855-2261) on 08/22/1998. The mileage at this time was 31,491. They reprogrammed the air bag sdm and replaced the horn assembly. The vehicle was still under warranty at this time. I called them back in nov 99 when problem was reoccurring. Vehicle was no longer under warranty and to have it fixed would have cost me $600+ dollars. I feel it should be fixed for free, since problem keeps reoccurring. Problem is still not fixed at this time. *ak |
