THIS ALL STARTED WHEN THE FACTORY BATTERY WENT DEAD SO I WENT AND PURCHASED A NEW ONE ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I WENT OUT ONE MORNING TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START HAD TO BE JUMPED. SO LATER ON I CHECKED FOR A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE RADIO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE DISPLAY WHERE CAUSING A DRAIN. SO I HAD ALL THREE CHECKED ALL TESTS FINE SO I PURCHASED ANOTHER BATTERY AND WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE RADIO DIED AND ALL THE AUDITABLE SOUNDS STOP WORKING THE NEXT DAY WENT OUT TO TRY TO START THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED ONLY HAD HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULDN'T START. SO I PUT IT ON A CHARGER FOR A COUPLE HOURS TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD LIKE THERE WAS NO BATTERY IN . COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE BCM ( BODY CONTROL MODULE ) WAS SHORTED.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014, I TOOK MY 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS TO HAILEY'S CHEVROLET FOR THE "ELECTRICAL IGNITION / KEY RECALL." AFTER MY KEYS WERE FIXED AND THE TWO 6MM RINGS WERE ATTACHED TO THEM, I WAS DRIVING 25 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, SLOWED DOWN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS TURNING; THEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG AND SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, FLICKERED THREE TIMES, AND HAVE REMAINED ON SINCE THEN. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE; UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIRS LISTED ABOVE WERE PERFORMED. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR EVEN SHORT DISTANCES NOW BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEWS HEADLINES ABOUT, "AIRBAGS EXPLODING" AND FEAR OF, WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN WITH MY TIRES. THESE MATTERS SHOULD REALLY BE INVESTIGATED.
