TAKATA RECALL ON MARCH 16 2017 I GOT A RECALL LETTER FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE MADE MANY CALLS TO GM WITH NO RESULTS. I CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF THEY COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. GM SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A REMEDY YET. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT ? I 'M THINKING ABOUT SELLING THE CAR SO I CAN DRIVE WITH MY WIFE IN THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL I DON'T MEAN TO ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST NINE MONTHS SINCE A RECALL OF MY PONTIAC VIBE 2009, PURCHASED IN 2008, WAS ISSUED. EARLIER A FEW YEARS BACK, THE DRIVER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED AS PART OF A RECALL.NO PROBLEM. WE ARE IN A VERY HUMID AREA, STILL NC IS LISTED AS A ZONE 2, FURTHER EXTENDING THE WAIT TIME. AND INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A TRAGEDY. PLEASE HURRY WITH A SOLUTION. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL ALMOST 9 MONTHS AGO, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR'S AIRBAG COULD CAUSE DEATH BY SENDING SHARDS OF METAL AT MY HEAD IN A COLLISION. TO THIS DAY, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE ANY REMEDY OUTSIDE OF TELLING ME TO STOP USING MY CAR. SINCE ALMOST 9 MONTHS HAVE PASSED, I FELT THE NEED TO REPORT HERE THAT GMAC IS NOT ACTING FAST ENOUGH. NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO RENT A CAR FOR A YEAR. THIS IS NOT OKAY. EVERY DAY I WORRY ABOUT AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS SAFER.

TAMARA RECALL. RECALL FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS ISSUES 01/10/2017. AS OF 08/25/2017 THE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL WEBSITE STATES "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE." FOR OVER 7 MONTHS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE SEAT. THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG IS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE DESCRIBED FOR THE TOYOTA CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT LISTED ON WWW.AUTOAIRBAGSETTLEMENT.COM. IS GENERAL MOTORS JUST DRAGGING FEET OR WAITING FOR A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT?

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN 8 AND A HALF MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL HAS TAKEN EFFECT. THE RECALL STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE AIRBAG HAS STILL NOT BEEN REPLACED AND THE RECALL STATUS STATES "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". THIS IS FAR TOO LONG FOR A POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE TO GO UNRESOLVED AND FAR TOO LONG FOR MY WIFE AND I NOT TO BE ABLE TO SIT NEXT TO EACH OTHER IN OUR CAR. THIS NEEDS FIXED NOW.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER MARCH, 2017 (5 MONTHS AGO) THAT MY PONTIAC VIBE HAD A AIR BAG RECALL. THE LETTER WARNS THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS FORCED ME TO KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR EASILY. SINCE THEN, HERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION OTHER THAN THROUGH THE NEWS. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS LACK OF COMMUNICATION THAT I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER RECALLS ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS NOW BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE (MARCH 2017) AND THERE IS NO ETA AS TO WHEN GM DEALER WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG. THE RECALL STATES "UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED." UNDERSTANDABLE FROM A SAFETY POINT OF VIEW, BUT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS STILL ONGOING WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT SOMEONE NOT TO HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND THIS IS CAUSING A HUGE INCONVENIENCE.

IN MARCH WE RECEIVED A RECALL TELLING US OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ISSUE AND POTENTIAL FATAL INJURY THAT COULD RESULT. I CALLED PONTIAC TODAY AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED. IN THE MEANTIME WE ARE UNABLE TO ALLOW PASSENGERS, OR EACH EITHER, IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT AS MY WIFE USES THIS CAR FOR BUSINESS. THE LAST RECALL WE GOT ON THE 2007 VIBE TOOK OVER 18 MONTHS TO RESOLVE. (WE SOLD THAT CAR AND BOUGHT THIS ONE).0 IT'S LIKE THE CAR ISN'T MADE ANYMORE SO THERE'S NO RUSH. PLEASE HELP.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND TREY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THAT THEY WILL ORDER THE PARTS AND CONTACT ME TO SCHEDULE AM APPOINTMENT. I NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS, AS I FEEL THEY HAVE NO INTENT ON ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES!

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT RECALL MARCH OF 2017 WE ARE NOW IN AUGUST OF 2017 AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. I DID CALL PONTIAC AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THIS LINK SO I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT . I ONLY HOPE I'M NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. I STILL USE MY FRONT SEAT EVEN IF I'M TAKING A CHANCE THAT SOMEONE COULD GET HURT. THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION COULD NOT BE SOLD IN THIS CONDITION

TAKATA RECALL REMEDY IS STILL UNAVAILABLE. LAST YEAR I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM ADVISING OWNERS THAT NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IN OTHER WORDS, I AM UNABLE TO USE THE CAR FOR THE FULL PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS INTENDED. RIDICULOUS

TAKATA RECALL - SAFETY RECALL TAKING TOO LONG IN MARCH 2017, I RECEIVED A GM RECALL NOTICE FOR MY PONTIAC VIBE. I CALLED GM AND LOGGED A TICKET (CASE#8-3053081027). EACH TIME I CALL THEY STATE THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE OR THE ENGINEERING FIX IS NOT READY. THIS TIME I CALLED THEY WANT TO KNOW THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE. I ASKED WHY AND DID NOT RECEIVE A VALID ANSWER FROM GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT. MY TOYOTA COROLLA HAD A TAKATA AIRBAG REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO. WHY IS IT TAKING GM SO LONG TO REPAIR A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN OTHER MANUFACTURES HAVE COMPLETED THEY SAFETY REPAIRS ? CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY FOR GM. I DON'T BELIEVE "PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE" OR AN AMERICAN ENGINEER CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO REPLACE AN AIR BAG. I AM A FATHER OF AN AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY AND NEED TO HAVE THIS CAR REPAIRED.
