TAKATA INFLATORS AIR BAGS AND TIRE STABILITY LIGHTS BOTH CAME ON ABOUT THE SAME TIME A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, DEALERSHIP IS QUOTES ARE HIGH, IM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I M AT A POINT THAT I WILL HAVE TO PARK THE VEHICLE.
TAKATA INFLATORS: WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO PRODUCTION OF ANY NEW VEHICLES. IF AIR BAGS ARE STILL BEING INSTALLED, AS PER GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS, THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY ENGINEERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A RETROFIT. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL ON RECALL.
TAKATA RECALL CALLED PRINCE CHEVROLET IN ALBANY GEORGIA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE AIR BAG THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED.I HAVE NOT BEEN HURT NOR HAS AIR BAG BEEN DEPLOYED, JUST WANT THE AIR BAG REPLACED.
"TAKATA RECALL".....AIR BAG HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED...RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM IN JULY OF 2016 THAT SAID THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I.HAVE NOT HERD FROM THEM SINCE THEN....
TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY 2016, 18 MONTHS AGO! GM AND TAKATA ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH. I WANT MINE FIXED NOW!!
TAKATA RECALL-- I WAS CONTACTED IN 2016 ABOUT THIS RECALL AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND BY MY DEALER AND GM YES I'VE CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID YOU GUYS GAVE THEM AN EXTENSION TO PLAY WITH THE LIVES OF PEOPLE (MY WORDS) COME ON. GET ON THE BALL AND MAKE GM REPLACE THIS AIR BAG . SINCE WE RECEIVED MAIL THIS PAST SAT. THAT TK HOLDINGS HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY. SO I SUPPOSE THAT MEANS WE AS THE CONSUMER WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PART OURSELF. SINCE IT IS NOT OUR FAULT AS BUYERS THAT THIS COMPANY RIPPED US OFF. AS YOU CAN SEE I AM FRUSTRATED AT YOU AND OUR DEALER AND GM. NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO BUY FOREIGN GOODS INSTEAD OF AMERICAN MADE. PLEASE FIX THIS!

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.
