TAKATA RECALL , I CARRIED MY VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE RECALL REPAIRS MADE AND THEY SAY THE AIR BAGS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIRS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL-RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN JULY 2016 STATING THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THAT GM WILL CONDUCT A RECALL IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVE TO NHTSA THEY ARE SAFE. GM RECALL 49151. NOVEMBER 2017 RECEIVED NOTICE OF TAKATA BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS. FOLLOWING NOTICE I PHONED THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE VEHICLE AND WAS GIVEN VOICEMAIL. I LEFT A MESSAGE BUT THEY DID NOT RETURN MY CALL. SUBSEQUENTLY PHONED GM TO INQUIRE INTO STATUS OF RECALL. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT GM WAS STILL WORKING WITH NHTSA. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE NOTIFIED IF THE AIRBAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A DECISION BY NOW. OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED RECALLS AND REPAIRS. WITH TAKATA FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY AND GM NOT MAKING REPAIRS WHO WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS OR ANY ASSOCIATED INJURIES/DEATHS?
