TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL: I HAD SENT COMPLAINT #10821862 BUT NO RESPONSE. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY 2015. RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE MAY 2015. I CALLED THE GMC DEALER HERE IN JANUARY 2016 AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN TODAY (NOV 2016) AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. NO PART AVAILABLE. AND WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK BETWEEN 2-3 MONTHS. COMPLAINT: TOO LONG FOR A RECALL. SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL IS TAKING AN EXCESSIVELY LONG TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC PRODUCT SUPPORT AT 8004628782 TO SUBMIT A TIER 1 ESCALATION ON JULY 27TH. AS OF AUGUST 25TH, THEY STILL FAIL TO EXPEDITE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE A SAFETY RECALL. SINCE MY WIFE IS PREGNANT SHE CANNOT SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. ONCE OUR SECOND CHILD ARRIVES IN MID SEPTEMBER WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE TOGETHER. I AM UNCLEAR HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
