Railroad hyrail vehicle equipped, after market, with hyrail wheel assemblies which allow the vehicle to operate on railroad tracks. Once hyrail (flanged) wheels are retracted, the vehicle is operated over the highways and public roads like any other vehicle. On 10/9/12 near fairview, paa railroad employee was operating vehicle on the railroad tracks when it struck a standing equipment at approx. 15 mph. Airbags did not deploy. Concern is that the installation of hyrail wheel assemblies might be impacting the airbag sensor. The hyrail wheel assemblies extend approx. One foot of steel framework ahead of the front and rear bumpers. The placement of these assemblies might inadvertently be affecting airbag deployment in crashes on the railroad track and on public roads.

Rear passenger door lock does not lock or unlock on 2009 chevy silverado. While driveing the grand kids to school the rear driver side door opened while going around a corner. The grandson did admit that he had his hand on door handle. Come to find out that the door lock has failed on this door. We are lucky that we infornce the seatbelt rules or this would have been a real accident. I contacted gm and had the vechile looked at. The door lock motor has failed and the delaer told me that it is a known problem and they have changed 100's of them. I contacted gm and opened a case but gm said that they will not address the problem. Another lock has failed and again gm will not admit that there is a problem with the door locks.
