INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE, CHEVY SAYS THIS: THE NECESSITY OF A REMEDY IS DEPENDENT UPON NHTSA'S DECISION ON GM'S PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOLLOWING THAT DECISION. IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL AT MY.GM.COM/RECALLS. GM CONSIDERS YOUR VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. I DON'T BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE! WHEN WILL THE DECISION BE MADE I THINK THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE TO REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. CHEVY AND THE NHTSA

"TAKATA RECALL" HAVE 2 LETTERS STATING RECALLS BUT NO LOCATE DEALERS HAVE REPAIR REPLACEMENT PARTS. FIRST LETTER IS FROM GM DATED JULY 2016. WHY NO PARTS

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" ON GM LETTERHEAD DATED JULY, 2016. GM RECALL #"49152", THEREAFTER CALLED GM RECALL #2049152; NHTSA RECALL # 16V383. ORIGINAL LETTER STATES "VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY SAFE TO DRIVE...NO NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW...WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REMEDY YOUR VEHICLE." I CHECKED THE STATUS OF THE RECALL AT MY.GM.COM/RECALLS ON THE FOLLOWING DATES WITH THE SAME INFORMATION FOUND: 10/8/16; 1/3/17; 8/10/17. I RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE ON 10/20/17, STATING THAT TAKATA, THE AIR BAG INFLATORS MANUFACTURER, IS/HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY, ETC. AND DECIDED TO FOLLOW UP ON THE RECALL AS SUGGESTED IN THE LEGAL NOTICE. I SPOKE TO "MR. P." (FIRST NAME) IN THE SERVICE DEPT AT COLUMBIA CHEVROLET, 513-823-9268, WHO LOOKED UP MY VIN AND STATE THAT HIS GM WEBSITE STATES THAT GM AND TAKATA HAVE PETITIONED THE NHTSA TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL WILL BE MADE. I POINTED OUT I HAVE A GM RECALL AND WAS TOLD GM WILL SEND ME A RECALL NOTICE IF ONE IS MADE AND "ANYWAY, THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PARTS THEY WOULD BE." I THINK THE RESPONSE THAT WE DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, (WHICH WE NOW DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE)15 MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING AN OFFICIAL RECALL, WHICH WAS ORIGINATED 20 MONTHS AGO, IS INAPPROPRIATE AND HAS ADDED STRESS TO MY LIFE IN HAVING TO FOLLOW-UP REPEATEDLY AND WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE, WHICH MAY STILL HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN UNADDRESSED. NO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR OTHER INCIDENT TO STIMULATE THE ACTION OF THE AIR BAGS HAS OCCURRED, THANKFULLY.
