TAKATA RECALL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I RECEIVED A CARD INFORMING ME ABOUT THE AIR BAG INFLATORS BEING DEFECTIVE. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO PARTS DEPARTMENT. UPON STATING THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS, THEY ADVISED TO CALL BACK LATER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 HEARS BUT THEY STATE THE PARTS HAVE NOT COME IN. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MYSELF OR PUTTING MY FAMILY FOR TRIPS IN THE SUBURBAN WITHOUT REPLACING THE AIR BAGS.

I OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WITH THE GM RECALL #2049151/NHTSA #16V381. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER BY EMAIL AND PHONE CALLS FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR AND I KEEP GETTING TOLD "THERE ARE NO PARTS FOR THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME, AND YOU WILL BE CONNECTED WHEN THEY ARE." MY WIFE AND FOUR LITTLE CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE DAILY. I HAVE WORKED AT VARIOUS BUICK, CHEVROLET, AND GMC DEALERSHIP OVER 10 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER SEEN RECALLS TAKE THIS LONG TO RESOLVE.
