TAKATA RECALL 14491. NOTICE OF THE RECALL ARRIVED IN JULY 2015. NO FURTHER INFORMATION HAS COME FROM GM AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE DEALER. ESSENTIALLY, GM AND TAKATA HAVE LEFT ME WITH A VEHICLE UNSUITABLE FOR A FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER--FOR 6 MONTHS! I'M GLAD THAT TAKATA HAS BEEN CHASTISED FOR THEIR SLOW-MOTION RECALL, BUT IT HASN'T PROVIDED ANY GREATER SPEED TO THE RECALL.

RECALL 14491 WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2014. WE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM PONTIAV DATED JULY 2015. NO REMEDY IS STILL AVAILABLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR TWO REASON; FIRST-THE YEAR DELAY IN NOTIFICATION OF RECALL, AND SECOND-THE LACK OF REMEDY AVAILABLE. I CHECKED THE WEB FOR ANY PROGRESS= NONE.
RECEIVED RECALL #14491 IN JULY 2015. MANUFACTURER STILL HAS NO PARTS. IN THE MEANTIME THE LETTER SAYS NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SINCE THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED, IT SEEMS A VIOLATION OF MY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE TO NOT HAVE FULL USE UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX IT. I AM COMPLAINING THAT NOT HAVING A TIME LIMIT IN WHICH TO REPAIR DEFECTS IS RESTRICTING MY USAGE OF MY PROPERTY.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL IN JULY, AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS "THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED". I'VE CALLED EVERYONE, GM, THE LOCAL DEALER, THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE, ETC. AND THE ANSWER IS THAT THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE AND IT WILL TAKE 1-3 YEARS TO GET IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE. I CALLED A SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD DISABLE THE AIRBAG FOR ME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS ILLEGAL. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I HAVE A FAMILY OF 4 AND PETS AND WE CANNOT ALL FIT INTO THE CAR UNLESS WE USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE SOLUTION TO NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FACT AHTT THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND IN JULY 2015 I GOT A LETTER TELLING ME THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE INT HE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE WAITED FOR 5 MONTHS TO HEAR MORE ABOUT WHEN I CAN GET THE SAFETY HAZARD TAKEN CARE OF. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO INFORMAITON ON WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS. THEY DON'T KNOW AND CAN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS. WHEN I LOOKED ON LINE IT SAYS THE REPARIS WILL BEGIN IN 2017 AND END IN 2019. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY. MY FAMILY IS IN THIS CAR DAILY. IT IS MY ONLY CAR. IN THSI DAY AND AGE AND WITH A PROBLEM THAT IS AS EASY TO FIX AS THIS - WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS -- HOW IS IT THAT THE SOLUTION WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR UP TO 6 YEARS????!!! I EXPECT A RESPONSE TO THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY FAMILY AND I ARE AT RISK EVERY DAY AND HAVE BEEN FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO END IN SITE AND NO ONE ABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE FOR WHEN THIS WILL BE RECTIFIED.

AS PART OF NHTSA RECALL #15V285, ISSUED JUL 24, 2014, GM RECALLED MY PONTIAC VIBE, INFORMING ME " THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED PROPELLANT.... IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED PROPELLANT COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY ABNORMALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT." AT THE TIME, THE RECALL STATUS WAS " INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, WITH NO CHANGE IN STATUS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED AS TO WHEN OUR CARS WILL BE FIXED. IS THIS ACTUALLY A RECALL? ARE THESE VEHICLES EVER GOING TO BE REPAIRED? I APPRECIATE NHTSA'S DESIRE TO WARN DRIVERS. HOWEVER, THIS 'RECALL' INCREASINGLY FEELS LIKE A CAR MANUFACTURER FREEING THEMSELVES OF LEGAL LIABILITY AND PASSING THE INCONVENIENCE OF THEIR MISTAKE ONTO DRIVERS, WITH NO INTENTION OF ACTUALLY RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET MY PASSENGER SEAT AVAILABLE FOR SAFE USE AGAIN? THANK YOU! *TR

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.
