2005 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

I HAD A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY CAR A FEW YEARS AGO. I HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE SAME, BUT NEWER PART. I THEN RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTIFICATION AND CALLED IN TO GET IT FIXED, BUT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED TWO OR THREE MORE NOTICES AND CALLED FOR THE FIX, BUT THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. TODAY, ABOUT A YEAR OR SO LATER, I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE, MADE ANOTHER CALL, AND THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART. HOWEVER, THEY STILL DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO COME IN.

I'M SORRY IF THIS IS THE WRONG VENUE FOR THIS, BUT THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON MY CAR DEALING WITH AIRBAG ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR AND THE RECALL STATUS IS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." FRANKLY, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I SAW A NOTE ON YOUR WEBSITE SAYING THAT IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER, WE COULD FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT. I COULDN'T FIND THE FORM FOR THAT, SO I FIGURED I'D SUBMIT IT HERE. THANK YOU! MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: N192273760 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V627

THERE HAS BEEN A KNOWN AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2005 SINCE 08/29/19. TEN MONTHS IS FAR TOO LONG FOR THIS TO GO UNADDRESSED BY GM WHEN IT AFFECTS A MAJOR AIRBAG ON A VEHICLE IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS. I HAVE GONE MOST OF A YEAR WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MY CAR THE LAST RECALL WAS IN 2016 AND I HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACED THEN. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND WORK TO GET THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE OR THEY NEED TO PLAY A PART IN HELPING THEIR CUSTOMERS PURCHASE NEW CARS THAT ARE SAFE AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE TO MAKE UP FOR NEARLY A YEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFELY CARRY A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE VEHICLE.
