    When I brought mine in for the brake tragedy, the woman said "well it should have been done before you bought the car"... then again my brakes shouldnt have been locked up either when they sold it to me... Bama guys, where do you take your cars?

    I took my car in today for the recall and no lights but once I tried the bluetooth to make a call it would not work.

    When I went through the Bluetooth menus it showed my phone there but still would not work. Got home erased the phone and reprogrammed it and now all is well.

    Not sure if it was the phone or car. I tried my phone in the Tahoe and it worked normal in it without changing anything.

    When I drive the cruze and don't reset the phone for a few days sometimes that'll happen. Or everything seems good then I make a call and no rx or tx. Kinda frustrating but you cant expect it to always be flawless.

    Does anyone have the instructions for performing this recall? It's obvious it was not done correctly and I'd like to know what should have been done.

    I'd like to have the info when I take it back in.

    Got airbag light !!! The saga continues....

    Not taking her in until I do...

    I like to give them my problems and the proper solutions before they even touch the car.

    They generally plug their MDS tool to your OBD slot and upload the requested software.
