TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GENERAL MOTORS A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL WAS ISSUED BY THE COMPANY. SOON THEREAFTER I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WHO TOLD ME A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD CONDUCT A TEMPORARY FIX BY DISCONNECTING THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG, SO IT WOULD NOT GO OFF IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THIS BECAUSE IT WAS A LIABILITY ISSUE FOR THEM. THEREFORE, GM OFFERED ME GRAVELY INACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT THE "FIX" THAT COULD BE PERFORMED. GM DID NOT OFFER A RENTAL CAR/LOAN CAR FOR AN "UNDISCLOSED REASON TOLD TO THEM BY PONTIAC HUMAN RESOURCES." MY CAR MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY FIXED UNTIL 2023, WHICH I FIND TO BE EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE.
"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN MARCH - ALMOST 4 MONTHS AGO. I ALREADY WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF AN ARTICLE PRINTED IN MY LOCAL NEWSPAPER IN 2016 AND HAD VERIFIED MY CAR HAD BEEN AFFECTED VIA MY VIN. I BELIEVE IT IS PAST TIME FOR GM FIX MY CAR. PLEASE RESPOND AND LET ME KNOW WHERE I SHOULD TAKE MY CAR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

I ASKED IF THE AIRBAGS WERE AVAILABLE. THE RESPONSE WAS YES, THAT THEY WERE AVAILABLE. DURING THE WEEK, I STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO VERIFY THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND TO DETERMINE HOW LONG THE REPAIR WOULD BE. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO SCANNED THE VEHICLE IN, VERIFIED THE EXISTENCE OF PARTS, BUT WARNED ME THAT THIS RECALL WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON JUNE 24, THE FELLOW IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE LOCALLY AND HE WOULD HAVE TO "SPECIAL ORDER" IT AND THAT THE ORDER WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK.

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.
