What owners report
I have been attempting to complete the recall repair on my passenger airbag with my local A&T Chevrolet dealer in Sellersville, PA. Ive tried twice and each attempt was denied. The NHTSA website says to file a complaint or call their hotline if these repairs are denied.
My vehicle is part of the Takata Airbag Recall. I had a light come on for the airbag on the dash but the passenger light remains working condition prior to the fix.

They replaced my passenger side airbag but refused

There were two incidents. 1. I was pulling into a parking spot at a Walmart driving very slowly, to almost reach the parking sign when the vehicle revved and lurched forward. I had to put my full pressure on the brake pedal, and eventually shifted to neutral and the revving subsided. I turned the car off and looked at the floor mat, which was in its usual position, and did not seem to be interfering with the pedal. Since this had not happened before, I rationalize that perhaps my foot had been on both the brake and accelerator. But I did not notice that my foot had slipped at all, and it was definitely on the brake when the revving occurred. 2. Today, my wife called me to tell me she had ex
