Chevrolet COLORADO problems and owner complaints

ON 10/15/2004, I BEGAN TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY OF MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO AUTOMOBILE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. JUST AS I TURNED THE IGNITION, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATED. THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATED FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE REPLACING THE AIRBAG UNDER WARRANTY.

AIR IS SEEPING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE GLASS BECAUSE IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY SEALED AT THE FACTORY. ALSO, THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS COMES ON UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT DIMS THEN BRIGHTENS AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THIS INDICATES A FAILURE IN THE BATTERY. ALTHOUGH THE BATTERY IS FINE. THIS MAYBE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. DEALERSHIP IS NOT BEING HELPFUL WITH RESOLVING ANY OF THE PROBLEMS.*AK

AND WHEN YOU NEED TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR KEEPS GOING LIKE YOU ARE STILL ACCEL…
