TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2008 ASTRA THAT IS PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. DETAILS ARE AT THE END OF THIS MESSAGE. THERE CURRENTLY IS NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REMEDY, AND WHEN A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER WITH RECALL GM ID 28810 IN MARCH 2016 AND AS OF TODAY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

I VISITED TWICE A GM CHEVY DEALER AND THE PEOPLE THERE TOLD ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I INSIST MY CAR TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY SINCE MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN USING IT DAILY AND THIS IS THREATENING OUR SAFETY.

I NOTICED THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS ISSUED FEBRUARY 3RD AND NO FIX HAS BEEN ISSUED YET (ITS BEEN 8 MONTHS). I LIVE IN A HUMID CLIMATE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRIVER AIRBAG'S CONDITION SINCE HUMID CONDITIONS INCREASE THE RISK OF FAILURE. HONDA IS QUICK WITH THE RECALL, BUT SINCE I HAVE A SATURN I BELIEVE GM IS SIMPLY PUTTING IT OFF.

VEHICLE HORN IS INTERMITTENTLY INOPERABLE. I HAVE HAD TWO NEAR MISSES DUE TO THE NON FUNCTIONING HORN. WHEN IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING, DEPRESSING THE HORN BUTTON TURNS THE RADIO VOLUME INSTEAD. AT THE SAME TIME THE LEFT STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS ARE INOPERABLE. OCCASIONALLY THE RADIO VOLUME WILL LOWER ON ITS OWN, THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON OVERSEES IN THE OPEL / VAUXHALL VERSIONS OF THE ASTRA. REPLACEMENT OF THE WIRING HARNESS AND CIM MODULE HAVE ONLY TEMPORARILY RESOLVED THE ISSUES THERE. THIS ISSUE HAS PERSISTED ON AND OFF IN MY VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.THE CONDITION EXISTS WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THE CAR IS MOSTLY DRIVEN SHORT TRIPS IN CITY TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS 8 YEARS OLD, 52,000 MILES.

I HEARD OF THE AIR BAG RECALL ON THE MORNING NEWS A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 2011 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM GM AT ALL. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE BIT OF INFORMATION EVEN INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL. I HAVE DONE MY OWN RESEARCH, AND HAVE SEEN THAT THE RECALL IS ACTIVE, BUT THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION AND/OR FIX. I AM NOT IMPRESSED BY THE FACT THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED BY GM (OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER), AND THAT EVERY DAY I GET IN MY CAR, I RISK BEING INJURED/KILLED DUE TO THE AIR FAULTY AIR BAG.

WHEN IS THIS "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I DON'T APPRECIATE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL ALMOST 5 MONTHS AGO AND NO WORD SINCE FROM GM.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN- I HAVE HAD THE PEDAL PRESSURE SENSOR (IN MY 2008 SATURN ASTRA) REPLACED 5-6 TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE CAR LITERALLY WILL LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN VERY QUICKLY AND IS A SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING SAFETY CONCERN. PREVIOUS TIMES IT HAS OCCURRED I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS ON 6/24/16 AND I HAD MY 2 WEEK OLD SON IN THE CAR SEAT. WE ALMOST WERE IN A SERIOUS COLLISION WITH A SEMI-TRUCK BECAUSE YET AGAIN THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND DECREASED SPEED DRASTICALLY. MY NEWBORN SON'S LIFE WAS THREATENED (AS A SEMI-TRUCK VS. A SATURN ASTRA IS LIKE AN ANT VS. A HUMAN) AND NOW I AM VERY ANGRY. SATURN AND CHEVY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND FOLLOW THRU ON A RECALL BEFORE THIS ISSUE CAUSES DEATH OR INJURY; OR PERHAPS IT ALREADY HAS. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN TEMPE REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN AND CALL ME BACK. I TOOK THE SATURN TO THIS DEALERSHIP WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX THE PEDAL PRESSURE SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY I AM COMPLETELY IGNORED AND ALL I HAVE ASKED FOR IS A PHONE NUMBER FOR CORPORATE AND/OR FOR WHO EXACTLY ADDRESSES LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY CONCERNS (AS CHEVY BOUGHT OUT SATURN). ALL I HAVE ASKED FOR IS WHO TO CONTACT AND WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE TO TAKE AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT EVEN FOLLOW THRU ON THIS. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU COULD NOT AFFORD A NEW CAR AND BOUGHT A COMPLETE PIECE OF TRASH (OVERPAID) THAT THREATENS YOUR LIFE EVE
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.
