TAMARA RECALL. RECALL FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS ISSUES 01/10/2017. AS OF 08/25/2017 THE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL WEBSITE STATES "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE." FOR OVER 7 MONTHS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE SEAT. THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG IS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE DESCRIBED FOR THE TOYOTA CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT LISTED ON WWW.AUTOAIRBAGSETTLEMENT.COM. IS GENERAL MOTORS JUST DRAGGING FEET OR WAITING FOR A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT?

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER MARCH, 2017 (5 MONTHS AGO) THAT MY PONTIAC VIBE HAD A AIR BAG RECALL. THE LETTER WARNS THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS FORCED ME TO KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR EASILY. SINCE THEN, HERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION OTHER THAN THROUGH THE NEWS. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS LACK OF COMMUNICATION THAT I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER RECALLS ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN 8 AND A HALF MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL HAS TAKEN EFFECT. THE RECALL STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE AIRBAG HAS STILL NOT BEEN REPLACED AND THE RECALL STATUS STATES "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". THIS IS FAR TOO LONG FOR A POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE TO GO UNRESOLVED AND FAR TOO LONG FOR MY WIFE AND I NOT TO BE ABLE TO SIT NEXT TO EACH OTHER IN OUR CAR. THIS NEEDS FIXED NOW.
