2009 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THIS PROBLEM CAME TO LIGHT. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT GM HAS YET TO HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I HAVE CALLED TWO GM DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS. I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED TAKATA CHAPTER 11 INFORMATION. IS GM WAITING UNTIL THEY SEE HOW THAT SHAKES OUT? I WOULD THINK GM WOULD WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS IMMEDIATELY TO MITIGATE FUTURE LAW SUITS AGAINST THEM.
