2009 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. ISSUED A RECALL ON CAR IN JANUARY 2017 ACCORDING TO WEBSITE, BUT DID NOT GET LETTER ABOUT RECALL UNTIL MID-MARCH 2017. DEALER STATES NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RECALL DESPITE LIVING IN HIGH HEAT (AND THEREFORE HIGHER RISK) AREA, AND CANNOT SAY WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. NOTICE STATES PASSENGER SHOULDN'T SIT IN FRONT SEAT; WHICH IS UNTENABLE FOR MY FAMILY. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED PROVIDE LOANER WHERE THERE IS A RISK OF DEATH DUE TO DEFECTIVE PART, BUT DEALER WILL NOT DESPITE DANGERS POSED TO THOSE IN THE CAR. FIVE MONTHS AFTER INITIAL RECALL IS BEYOND A LEGITIMATE "REASONABLE TIME" TO REPAIR A KNOWN, LETHAL DEFECT, YET NO ONE AT GM OR ANYWHERE SEEMS TO CARE.
