I RECEIVED GM RECALL NOTICE 14491 IN JULY 2015 STATING" THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY HAVE AN UNSAFE PROPELLANT WHICH COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE WITH METAL FRAGMENTS POTENTIALLY CAUSING A PASSENGER SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED. PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE." THE DEALER HAD NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. CONTACTING THE GM RECALL LINE, MY CASE NUMBER 71-1508506555 WAS ASSIGNED TO A SENIOR ADVISOR NAMED RUEBEN (866-790-5600 X 58210-88) RUEBEN GAVE ME NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DID NOT CALL ME BACK AS PROMISED. 8-28 I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE 15 INFLATORS IN STOCK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. HOWEVER, AT THE DEALERSHIP, MY VIN BROUGHT UP THE DISPOSITION ORDER: "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR" THE SERVICE WRITER AND SERVICE MANAGER CAN DO NOTHING AND SUGGESTED I CALL GM AGAIN. CALL TO GM RECALL LINE SPEAKING WITH ANNETTE. SHE HAD NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE RECALL WOULD BE RESOLVED. SHE CALLED A DISTRICT MANAGER NAMED PAT--ONLY INFORMATION SHE WOULD PROVIDE--TO ASK FRO MORE DETAILS "PAT" DID NOT ANSWER THE PHONE AND ALL SHE WOULD DO IS ASK RUEBEN TO FOLLOW UP. WE HAVE DELAYED A TRIP BECAUSE WE NEED TO USE THE CAR WITH BOTH FRONT AND BACK SEATS OCCUPIED. WE NEED TO CRACK THROUGH THIS IMPERVIOUS BARRIER GM HAS CONSTRUCTED TO FIND OUT 1: WHY THE 2005 VIBE INFLATORS THE DEALERSHIP HAS IN STOCK CANNOT BE USED 2; AND WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE GM WILL PROVIDE NO INFORMATION. PLEASE HELP CUT THROUGH THIS BUREAUCRATIC BARRIER GM IS HIDING BEHIND.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FROM GM (GM RECALL NUMBER 14491A) IN REGARDS TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG....I CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MAYBE THE 2ND HALF OF 2016 AND NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT...IS THIS FOR REAL? IN OTHER WORDS I HAVE A CAR THAT I NOW CANNOT USE FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. I SPOKE WITH A JOHN WHO SAID TO CONTACT A GM DEALER TO HAVE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DISCONNECTED....THE GM DEALER REFUSES TO DO IT...ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY EXPECT PEOPLE TO WAIT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR TO GET A RECALL REPAIRED AND NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR THAT LENGTH OF TIME....
