2009 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL ISSUED ON MY CAR JANUARY 10, 2017. I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTICE MARCH 2017. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 12, 2017 AND THERE IS STILL "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE". I HAVE MADE REPEATED CALLS TO THE DEALER AND TO GM TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE AND THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION FOR ME. I BELIEVE 9 MONTHS IS MUCH TO LONG TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL REPAIR. I HAVE TO BORROW OTHER PEOPLE'S CARS WHEN I NEED TO TRANSPORT ANOTHER PERSON IN THE CAR. I WANT TO TRADE IN MY CAR FOR A NEW ONE, BUT I'M CERTAIN THIS RECALL IS GOING TO HURT THE VALUE. HAVING TO WAIT THIS LONG AND TO STILL NOT HAVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHEN THE REPAIR WILL BE MADE IS WRONG.
