The passenger side air bag was replaced under a current recall (N212328790) however, once they fixed the issue at Love Chevy (Inverness, FL), the air bag light stayed on. It has never shut off and after speaking with the dealership as well as Chevrolet, they refuse to fix the issue they caused. I do not know if the recall has actually been fixed. Additionally, I am unable to refuel appropriately due to another recall (that my vehicle apparently isn't a part of), however, based on the amount of people that have the same problem, it should be a wider issued recall. This is for Chevy recall # 08411 for the Fuel System Control Module. It affects the charcoal canister, along with purge value and corresponding lines. Depending on how bad, charcoal canister needs replacement, even possibly the lines, as well as the gas tank. Very expensive fix that Chevy refuses to address. This is a common problem that mechanics see with these vehicles.

Avalanche

  • 180,000 miles
The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled and the "service vehicle soon" warning message illuminated. The contact made approximately four attempts to restart the vehicle. Once it was restarted, the contact was unable to shift gears and drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel system control module failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer (vandergriff Chevrolet, 1200 w interstate 20, arlington, tx 76017, (682)-323-2486) was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no recalls associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was 180,000.
