TAKATA RECALL - THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE - THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO IMPLEMENT THE RECALL BASED ON AN INTERNAL MEMO FROM CHEVROLET WHICH INSTRUCTS THE DEALERSHIP TO NOT COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE RECALL MANDATE BASED ON AN ASSERTION THAT GM IS CHALLENGING THE NEED FOR THE RECALL BASED ON STATISTICAL EVIDENCE GATHERED IN THE EXECUTION OF PRIOR RECALLS. THE RECALL REMAINS OUTSTANDING FOR OVER 2 YEARS PUTTING PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. - THEREFORE WE ARE UNABLE TO UTILIZE THE VEHICLE IN THE MANNER FOR WHICH IT IS DESIGNED, TO CARRY PASSENGERS OTHER THAN THE DRIVER IN A SAFE MANNER. I AM NOT GOING TO PUT MY PERSONAL WEALTH AND THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGERS AT RISK.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 7 WEEKS. I'VE SPENT $6,000 HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT AS THERE WAS CYLINDER 7 MISFIRE. HOWEVER, AFTER ALL THIS I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR CODES AND THEY NOW BELIEVE ITS ELECTRICAL AND THE WHOLE CAR NEEDS TO BE RE-WIRED. WHEN IT BROKE DOWN ORIGINALLY, IT WAS IN NEUTRAL IN A CAR WASH...

TAKATA INFLATORS: THE RECALL HAS A DATE ON IT ALMOST TWO YEARS OLD AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONS WHILE MY FAMILY IS IN THE CAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABILITY. THIS COULD CAUSE A FATALITY THAT COULD BE PREVENTED IF THE COMPANY SPENT LESS TIME WORRYING ABOUT SAVING A DOLLAR. IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE SOON THEN I WANT CHEVY TO BUY MY TRUCK BACK.

NEVER HAD A ISSUE UNTIL TODAY, BUT MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID A MESSAGE THAT SAID, SERVICE AIRBAG ON THE MESSAGE BOARD.
