Recall 13030 for 03 vibe

got a letter from GM today about recal 13030 stating that the ECM for the SRS system needs to be dealt with.

the wording is hilarious
"Toyota has decided that a defect..." then, "as a result, GM is conducting a safety recall".
way for GM to sound like mega-assholes lol

Re: Power Door Locks

I bet it's the same thing that's happened to my 03 recently, on mine the front pass side and rear driver side started getting wonky about a month or so ago and as of last week, they won't lock/unlock with the remote, locking /unlocking both manually works fine, and the other 2 doors work great, so I...

Honestly, it will probably dissolve. yall would freak if you knew how much random stuff falls into the tanks at gas stations when the drivers go to drop fuel in there. cell phones, pens, etc. it always dissolves.
