Front Passenger airbag always showing it is "OFF" whether someone is sitting in seat or not. The dealer wouldn't fix this unless I paid a diagnostic fee of $185. Also Radio infotainment system doesn't respond to touch, however it has a mind of its own, blaring radio volume up and changing channels on its own. Very distressing and distracting while driving. Also a $185 diagnostic for looking at this as well. I had purchased an extended warranty and extended maintenance agreement. The dealer told me they won't fix it unless I pay for the diagnostics and they won't have the extended warranty company fix it under my original extention warranty agreement. This all happened before my vehicle had 26000 miles.

FOR A WHILE NOW, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AGGRESSIVELY SHAKING WHEN I HIT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO I'VE SPENT MONEY GETTING BALANCES AND ALIGNMENTS AND TIRES TO TRY AND FIX THE ISSUE, BUT NOTHING WORKS. I'VE ALSO BEEN HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES, BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT, NOBODY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 65 OR SO IN THE RAIN AND IT DID ITS USUAL SHAKING. I LOST CONTROL, THE TRUCK SPUN OUT AND HIT THE WALL. THE COP CAME AND ASKED IF MY TRUCK HAD BEEN DOING ANY SHAKING. I TOLD HIM YES... I CAME HOME AND MY FAMILY ASKED IF IT HAD BEEN SHAKING AS WELL. I ASKED WHY EVERYONE WAS MENTIONING THE TRUCK SHAKING. THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE CHEVY RECALLS. SO I'M REACHING OUT BC I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND PAYING MONEY TO FIX THE SHAKING ISSUES AND THE ACCELERATOR ISSUES WITH NO SUCCESS AND NOW I'VE BEEN IN A WRECK AND COULD'VE LOST MY LIFE. I ONLY HURT MY FOOT AND MY GIRLFRIEND WAS CUT AND BURNED BY AIRBAGS. I NEED HELP. PLEASE.
