A RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIR BAG WAS ISSUED IN MARCH 2017. IT IS NOW JUNE 7, 2017 AND PONTIAC STILL HAS NO RESOLUTION IN PLACE AND HAS NOT DISTRIBUTED PARTS TO THE DEALERS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I CANNOT USE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR SO I CANNOT DRIVE MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS ANYWHERE. I RENTED A CAR FOR A WEEK OR SO AROUND EASTER TO TAKE A 4 DAY TRIP WITH FAMILY, WHERE I HAD TO DRIVE 800 OR SO MILES ROUND TRIP. PONTIAC REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THIS COST BECAUSE IT SAID IT IS ONLY A RECOMMENDATION THAT DON'T USE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BUT IF YOU CALL THEY THEY SAY YOU COULD DIE IF IN SIT IN THAT SEAT AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WHICH IS IT? THEY CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

TAKATA RECALL- MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT GENERAL MOTORS SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL THEY GET THE PARTS. UNTIL THEN YOU CAN DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BUT WE HOPE YOU DO NOT GET HURT>
