TAKATA RECALL I DON'T MEAN TO ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST NINE MONTHS SINCE A RECALL OF MY PONTIAC VIBE 2009, PURCHASED IN 2008, WAS ISSUED. EARLIER A FEW YEARS BACK, THE DRIVER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED AS PART OF A RECALL.NO PROBLEM. WE ARE IN A VERY HUMID AREA, STILL NC IS LISTED AS A ZONE 2, FURTHER EXTENDING THE WAIT TIME. AND INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A TRAGEDY. PLEASE HURRY WITH A SOLUTION. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL WHY ISN'T THIS DEADLY FLAW REMEDIED YET? THEIR ADVICE IS TO, "NOT HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE?" CLEARLY UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL ALMOST 9 MONTHS AGO, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR'S AIRBAG COULD CAUSE DEATH BY SENDING SHARDS OF METAL AT MY HEAD IN A COLLISION. TO THIS DAY, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE ANY REMEDY OUTSIDE OF TELLING ME TO STOP USING MY CAR. SINCE ALMOST 9 MONTHS HAVE PASSED, I FELT THE NEED TO REPORT HERE THAT GMAC IS NOT ACTING FAST ENOUGH. NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO RENT A CAR FOR A YEAR. THIS IS NOT OKAY. EVERY DAY I WORRY ABOUT AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS SAFER.
