There has been a recall on the driver's side airbag for over one year and the remedy is still incomplete. The potential to be injured or killed by the airbag rupturing is happening on a daily basis. Some sort of fix should have been available in a year's time.

REF GM safety recall N232404980 dated June 2023. As of today, May 21, 2024, no remedy is available apparently due to parts not available. It is now approaching a year without any additional unsolicited information from GM Recall personnel. The local Dealer has no remedy as they are at the mercy of GM. This recall expresses possible personal injury or death should an event causing airbag activation. This vehicle is a daily driver and exposes occupants to undue exposure to injury or death. I am asking the NTSA to followup with GM and push for an accelerated solution for their customers. Please provide any information that you can to me via email to: [XXX] or via phone at [XXX] . If this is not the correct area to handle this issue, please email me with the proper contact information. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased the 2016 Buick Regal used in 2021 with 40,000 miles., it now has close to 70,000 miles. It’s still in well cared for mint condition, except for the driver side headlight. Condensation appeared and has been getting worse, dealership says the only option is buying another complete headlight assembly for $1200.00. The LED part of that headlight has stopped working., it’s inevitable that the bulbs themselves with fail also. This is a safety issue. It’s absurdly cost prohibitive for me and most everybody else to spend that kind of money to fix a headlight.., and $1200.00 is the cost of the part alone, we’d be adding labor to that. This is a manufacturer defect that so many people are suffering with. They say we’re getting no relief from this because not enough people have filed complaints to the NHTSA. GM should be compelled to provide this part to us at a much more reasonable price. I’m just a poor widower dad with a daughter in college. Thank you.
