While driving airbag warning light stayed on/off continuously due to a defective air bag sensor prior to recall (96v-107).
My concern arises from having problem with my air bag sensor.when i took my car into the dealer to have the problem inspected.i was told that the air bag sensor had damaged due to a spill on the console box area where the sensor is located.i then looked into this further by going on line to nhtsa and was informed of a recall on my 1994 geo prism vin#1y1sk5364rz0763 for the same sensor. It also listed how the damaged would be caused word by word to what i was told by the dealer was the problem with my car. The recall listed campaign #96v107000; i then contacted chevrolet in order to get more information.i was told by a representative, that my car vin# did not come under the recall campaign.i find it very odd that this would be the case. Since what dealer described the problem with my car sensor to matching word to word with the summary listed in nhtsa recall notice summary. I have 3 small children and would appreciate your assistance in the investigation of this situation.sincerely,nora

On the 4-door model of the geo prizm lsi, the rear door latch/lock mechanisms fail, making the door un-operable from inside, or outside of the vehicle.should this failure occur as a result of a crash, the occupants of the backseats cannot exit the vehicle without having to crawl over the front seats (which may not be possible, based on the severity of the crash...).in my case, the two, separate failures were not the result of accidents, but both rear door mechanisms did fail (at different occasions...), which resulted in loss of ability to use the back seats for occupant usage in the method designed/intended.according to the dealership's service center (superstition springs toyota, mesa, az), the electrical solonoid that controls the lock mechanism can fail, causing the loss of operability (at a cost of $300 to replace), and requires replacement of the entire lock/latch mechanism. The same mechanism is also used on the front doors, as well.

Front left brake wears unusually fast.had brakes replaced 2 times in as many years.abs not working.had my geo for 9 years, this is the first time i've had problems with braking system.
During light to medium braking, the abs active light would illuminate and the anti-lock brake system would begin un-locking the brakes.this would be desirable in the winter, on ice, in a panic situation.it was however dry and sunny on the numerous occasions that this problem occurred.nobody was injured during these malfunctions, only because of the lack of other traffic at the intersections involved.i temporarily fixed the problem by removing the main abs relay.the abs is disengaged but the vehicle can now stop.
Abs: at first, the light was on all the time. A diagnostic test was run, and a sensor was replaced (all that was over $400). Now the light comes on (and stays on) at 49 mph. Another diagnostic test will have to be performed by the dealer to find out what's wrong. As for the window: one day i was driving with the window halfway down. When i tried to roll it back up, it wouldn't go. It just stayed there, then started sliding down. A repair shop fixed it.
I have e-mailed chvrolet on sevrel occasions and have received unsatisfactory answers.i am reporting the incident now because i am just now becoming aware of this part of your website.my sister, my mother and myself were headed to newark airport to drop my mother off as she was going to atlanta to catch a boat for a cruise.within the vicinity of the airport as we were getting closer to her airline (continental) gate in a hurry as we were running late.i was driving (charles) my mother's car with her in the passengers side.i was doing about 55-60mph when all of a sudden i began skidding.please keep in mind the roads were dry and her 1994 geo prizm equipped with anti-lock brakes came to a screeching halt.i wouldn't have minded so much if i was actually pressing the brakes, however i didn't touch a thing.i would also take all the blame if the warning light had come on at all, but no warning either.we spent hours just trying to get the thing into long-term parking.chevy is telling me to bring the car in and be charged $80.00/hour but my mother and i just are not happy with this answer.i want to be told from a, hopefully, nuetral party as to what we should do.the car has remained parked since the incident.my mother informs me that even if the car was repaired she would still be to affraid to drive this vehicle.as i would not want her to drive this death trap either.in any way shape or form that you look at it, this has defect written all over it.i can understand if the car somehow broke down and gradually came to a stop.however a screeching hault is just not acceptable-for any car!i was informed that the "vacuum on the vehicle may have went."this is still a sever defect if you ask me and one i should not be paying for!it is hectic as anything sharing a car around here but we'll do anything until we get acceptable answers and solutions!please help us! thankyou - my mother and iare anxious to hear from you!charlesc.
