2004 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

TODAY I RECEIVED A GM SAFETY RECALL 14491 NOTICE WHICH STATED "UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED". THE NOTICE STATES "PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE" AND IT DOES NOT GIVE ANY INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THE REPAIR CAN BE PERFORMED. MY WIFE AND I ARE IN OUR 70S AND WE ALWAYS TRAVEL TOGETHER AND NOT BEING ABLE TO OCCUPY THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED AT SOME INDETERMINATE TIME IN THE FUTURE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION.

I AM WRITING TO EXPRESS MY DISSATISFACTION WITH FAILING TO RECEIVE NEEDED RECALL REPAIRS RELATED TO AT LEAST NHTSA #25V285 AND #15V043. I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NOTICES FOR OVER A YEAR ADVISING THAT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE TO BE LEFT WAITING THIS LONG WHILE BEING TOLD NOT TO ALLOW THE PASSENGER SEAT TO BE OCCUPIED. THIS IS TOTALLY UNREALISTIC AND UNFAIR. WHY AREN'T THE MANUFACTURES BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PROVIDING A TIMELY REPAIR? I UNDERSTAND THE SUPPLIER IS TO BLAME AND SO SHOULD BE WORKING 24/7 TO PROVIDE THE REMEDY. ISN'T THIS A PRIORITY FOR HUMAN SAFETY? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. *TR

RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED ALONG WITH STATEMENT "UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOUD NOT BE USED.' HOW DOES ONE GET HIS FAMILY TO AND FROM DESTINATION WHEN RECALLED AUTO IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGER. AUTO IS USED FOR TRANSPORT OF OUR FAMILY AND GRAND CHILDREN. THIS CAN NOT BE CONDONED BY OUR GOVERNMENT CAN IT? WHAT IS REASONABLE TIME (TO BE DEPRIVED OF VEHICLE USAGE) AND HAVING TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS IF POSSIBLE FOR REPAIRS WHICH COULD AFFECT QUALITY OF LIFE OR LOSS OF SAME. AWAITING REPLY
