TAKATA RECALL - THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE - THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO IMPLEMENT THE RECALL BASED ON AN INTERNAL MEMO FROM CHEVROLET WHICH INSTRUCTS THE DEALERSHIP TO NOT COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE RECALL MANDATE BASED ON AN ASSERTION THAT GM IS CHALLENGING THE NEED FOR THE RECALL BASED ON STATISTICAL EVIDENCE GATHERED IN THE EXECUTION OF PRIOR RECALLS. THE RECALL REMAINS OUTSTANDING FOR OVER 2 YEARS PUTTING PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. - THEREFORE WE ARE UNABLE TO UTILIZE THE VEHICLE IN THE MANNER FOR WHICH IT IS DESIGNED, TO CARRY PASSENGERS OTHER THAN THE DRIVER IN A SAFE MANNER. I AM NOT GOING TO PUT MY PERSONAL WEALTH AND THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGERS AT RISK.
MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 7 WEEKS. I'VE SPENT $6,000 HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT AS THERE WAS CYLINDER 7 MISFIRE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
