TAKATA RECALL MY PONTIAC 2009 VIBE HAS A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL DUE TO IT CAN DEPLOY AND RUPTURE AT ANYTIME AND POSSIBLY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THE RECALL STATUS IS INCOMPLETE AND A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND ALSO VERY POOR PLANNING BECAUSE I CAN'T LET ANY PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY AND YOU ARE ACTING AS IF IT WAS THE 19TH CENTURY. SPEEDIER ACTION MUST BE ACTED UPON. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL. ISSUED A RECALL ON CAR IN JANUARY 2017 ACCORDING TO WEBSITE, BUT DID NOT GET LETTER ABOUT RECALL UNTIL MID-MARCH 2017. DEALER STATES NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RECALL DESPITE LIVING IN HIGH HEAT (AND THEREFORE HIGHER RISK) AREA, AND CANNOT SAY WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. NOTICE STATES PASSENGER SHOULDN'T SIT IN FRONT SEAT; WHICH IS UNTENABLE FOR MY FAMILY. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED PROVIDE LOANER WHERE THERE IS A RISK OF DEATH DUE TO DEFECTIVE PART, BUT DEALER WILL NOT DESPITE DANGERS POSED TO THOSE IN THE CAR. FIVE MONTHS AFTER INITIAL RECALL IS BEYOND A LEGITIMATE "REASONABLE TIME" TO REPAIR A KNOWN, LETHAL DEFECT, YET NO ONE AT GM OR ANYWHERE SEEMS TO CARE.

RATTLING DURING LOW SPEEDS, FEELS LOOSE AND UNCORTABLE, REPORTED TO DEALER AFTER FIRT YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, PURCHASED NEW, SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND FEELING UNSAFE. EACH TIME REPORTED WAS TOLD NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM JUST NOISY, COULD REPLACE COLUMN AT MY COST BUT NOISE WOULD PEOBABLY RETURN, NOW FEELING UNSAFE

TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO YEARS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. I HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY, ON TOP OF ALTERING MY DRIVING HABITS. NOW THAT I HAVE RECENTLY MOVED FROM IL TO FLORIDA, THE "POTENTIAL FOR THE INTRUSION OF MOISTURE" HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE OF THE HUMID CLIMATE HERE IN SW FLORIDA. EVEN IF THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN MY CAR, I - AS THE DRIVER - HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF "METAL FRAGMENTS ... STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". UPON RECIEVING YET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE (MARCH 2017) I CONTACTED PONTIAC AND GM. NEITHER HAS OFFERED A PLAN TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT THIS CORRECTION, I MUST CONTINUE TO UNDER UTILIZE THE CAR THAT I HAVE PAID IN FULL TO GENERAL MOTORS. FOR EXAMPLE, WITH OUR RECENT MOVE, WE PURCHASED MANY LARGE ITEMS SUCH AS FURNITURE AND BICYCLES. WE COULD NOT USE THE VIBE'S HATCHBACK BECAUSE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE BACK SEATS TO BE LOWERED, IN TURN, NOT ALLOWING ANOTHER PERSON TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME - THE DRIVER. FURTHERMORE, WITH FAMILY VISITING FROM OUT OF STATE, I AM UNABLE TO TRANSPORT THEM FROM THE AIRPORT WITH THEIR LUGGAGE, NOR CAN WE LOAD UP THE CAR WITH BEACH GEAR (CHAIRS, WAGON, UMBRELLA, COOLER, ETC. )AND TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY MEMBERS IN ONE TRIP. AGAIN, WE PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH THE INTENTION OF BEING ABLE TO USE IT. I NEED THE AIR BAG FIXED OR A COMPARABLE CAR LOANED TO ME AT NO CHARGE SO THAT I CAN CONDUCT NORMAL LIFE ACTIVITIES IN MY/ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE WITHOUT

THIS RECALL IS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IT HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE JANUARY 10, 2017. IN MARCH, I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS RECALL. AS OF TODAY, THERE ARE STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO DO THE RECALL. ALSO, THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN THEY MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. THE RESULT IS THAT I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. SO, I CANNOT USE THE CAR FOR MY FAMILY ETC. PONTIAC HAS NOT MADE LOANER VEHICLES AVAILABLE SO THAT I CAN CARRY OUT MY BUSINESS AS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. I HAVE ATTACHED THE OUTPUT OF THE WEBSITE DESCRIBING THE RECALL AND INDICATING THAT NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE.
