TAKATA RECALL. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE READY AND COMPLETING THESE RECALLS IN A MUCH MORE TIMELY FASHION. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND OWNERS SHOUKD NOT HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE WORRY ABOUT THESE POTENTIALLY LETHAL AIRBAGS!

WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM SAAB APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP (A REGISTERED SAAB SERVICE CENTER) SAYS THAT IT IS NOT AN ACTIVE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH WHEN WE TYPE IN THE VIN NUMBER ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, IT COMES BACK AS HAVING THIS PARTICULAR RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS. WE HAVE BEEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP EVERY MONTH AND THEY REFUSE TO WORK WITH US AND INSIST THAT THIS RECALL IS NOT REAL. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE DEATHS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE A REMEDY NOW. IF YOU CAN NOT FIX THE AIRBAG NOW I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION TO DRIVING THE TICKING TIMEBOMB.

TAKATA RECALL: TO DATE, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. ARE THEY WAITING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO DIE? THE RECALL DATE OF THIS OPEN RECALL WAS IN FEBRUARY 2016, WHICH IS NEARLY A YEAR AGO. THIS FAILURE TO REMEDY THIS "SAFETY RISK"/DEADLY PROBLEM NEARLY NINE MONTHS DEFINITELY QUALIFIES AS A NOT BEING REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. PLEASE ADVISE.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS. BUT THEY'RE STILL HASN'T BEEN A FIX. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR WHEN THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE, BECAUSE I WAS IN A TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT LAST NOVEMBER (IN A DIFFERENT VEHICLE) AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE BECAUSE OF THAT

TAKATA RECALL I'M COMPLAINING THAT I HAVE AN OLDER CAR, 2006, AND HAVEN'T HEARD FROM GM REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG. I WANT TO SELL THE CAR BUT DO NOT WANT TO PASS THE DANGER ON TO ANOTHER PERSON. MAKE GM MOVE QUICKLY TO REPLACE MY AIR BAG. I AM CONCERNED THE AIRBAG WILL BLOW UP EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR.

IT IS KNOWN THAT THE INFLATOR MAY EXPLODE IN THE DRIVERS AIRBAG, BUT WHAT OF THE OTHER (7?) AIRBAGS? AREN'T THEY INFLATED WITH THE SAME CANISTER FROM TAKATA? ISN'T THERE THE SAME POTENTIAL FOR INJURY OR DEATH? WHAT RESULT IS THERE OF THE TESTING OF THOSE AIRBAGS?

TAKATA RECALL HAS NOT GOT ANY SOLUTION OR SCHEDULE TO REPLACE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE IN MARCH 2016 ABOUT RECALL. AUGUST 2016 AND STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE! BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF IT'S SAFETY RECORD FOR MY 20-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT COLLEGE. SCARED EVERY TIME SHE GETS IN IT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN WHERE THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR SO LONG?? GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET THIS ISSUE ON THE FAST TRACK TO BE FIXED ASAP!

I WAS INFORMED OF THE AIR BAG RECALL IN FEBRUARY. TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TO REMEDY -- REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY CAR WHICH CARRIES TWO PRE-SCHOOLERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THE AIR BAGS WILL BE REPLACED AND WHAT OTHER OPTIONS I HAVE GIVEN THE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CLAIMS FROM THIS RECALL. IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS. THANK YOU *TR

TAKATA RECALL -- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SAAB CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. I SPOKE WITH LISA WHO TOLD ME "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE RECALL NOTICE. THERE REALLY ISN'T A PROBLEM." I THEN CONTACTED GM CORPORATE AND SPOKE WITH RANETTE IN THE GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE. SHE REFUSED TO TALK WITH ME AND KEPT REPEATING "I DO APOLOGIZE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER." I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH HER SUPERVISOR AND SHE THREATENED TO "DISCONNECT THE CALL". I TOLD HER NOT TO DISCONNECT THE CALL AND ASKED FOR HER SUPERVISOR'S NAME. THEN SHE PUT ME ON HOLD FOR ONE HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES. NOTHING IS BEING DONE. NOTHING IS BEING HANDLED AND I AM BEING TOLD THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE. VALIDATED NEWS REPORTS SHOW THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED BY THIS DEFECT. I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT AND NEED AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION OR NEED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I'M VERY UPSET AND ANGERED THAT THE GM SAFETY RECALL 28810/SAAB SAFETY RECALL 15041INFORMS ME OF THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS BUT PROVIDES NO REMEDY! ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTER THAT I RECEIVED AND VERIFICATION FROM THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME MY VEHICLE, THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO ORDER AND GM WON'T PROVIDE FOR A LOANER OR RENTAL CAR! THEREFORE I'M EXPECTED TO RENT A CAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE OR RISK INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN OR ANY OTHER OCCUPANTS FOR A POTENTIALLY 3-12 MONTH PERIOD OF TIME. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE OR ALLOWED BY MY GOVERNMENT SAFETY ADMINISTRATION? I'M MORE FAMILIAR THAN SOME OTHERS AS MY WIFE'S 2010 HONDA CRV WAS RECALLED JUST LAST WEEK FOR THE SAME AIR BAG CONCERNS, BUT IN HONDA'S CASE, THEY HAVE PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR AT NO COST TO MY WIFE EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T EXPECT REPLACEMENT PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATER THIS SUMMER 2016! A FOREIGN MANUFACTURER STEPPING UP BUT AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION, GENERAL MOTORS, TURNS THEIR CHEEK AND EXHIBITS UNCONSCIBLE BLINDNESS TO OUR PREDICAMENT. PLEASE GET INVOLVED OR AT LEAST EXPLAIN TO ME HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT WHAT GM IS COMMUNICATING TO ME IS A CUSTOMER AND A U.S. CITIZEN! THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING CAR ON MIDDLE LANE ON HIGHWAY APPROACHING TRAFFIC, WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS WAS AFTER GETTING A COMPLETE TUNE UP INCLUDING OIL CHANGE, NEW BATTERIES AND TIRES. TOWED CAR TO REPAIR SHOP AND AFTER REPAIR, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND THEN THERE WAS SMELL OF GAS AND CAR CONTINUED TO STALL. TOOK CAR BACK TO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS REPLACED AND GAS SMELL WAS ELIMINATED. BUT ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP, YET AGAIN. THIS TIME, STARTER WAS CHANGED AND MECHANIC CLAIMS THAT A NEW ECU/ECM IS NEEDED FOR ENGINE BUT PART FOR 2006 MODEL HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND IS NOW RUNNING ON 2004 ECI/ECM AND ENGINE LIGHT STILL REMAINS ON AND STARTED IS A BIT ROUGH.

I WENT TO HAVE A RECALL ADDRESSED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V318000. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE PARTS AND STATED THAT THEY MAY NOT ARRIVE FOR SOME TIME. THERE WAS A VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RECALL AND I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE WITHOUT HAVING MY SEATBELT REPAIRED. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS OWNING A CONVERTIBLE WITH A SEAT BELT THAT HAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE MY ISSUE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.
