PEDAL ACCELERATOR - WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR ACCELERATES ON THIS OWN EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THE RESULT IS INCREASED SPEEDS, AND WHEN REACHING A STOP, THE CAR HAS TO QUICKLY BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO STOP THE CAR, ELSE, IT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION WITH GMC AND THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE SIX MONTHS AGO RELATED TO MY VIBE. THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY STATES UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEARCH SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED. AS OF TODAY, THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND THE ONLY THING THE PEOPLE AT PONTIAC CAN SAY IS "GM DOES NOT RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." I BELIEVE I'VE BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH AND THAT GM SHOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR OR FIX THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. FOR OVER SIX MONTHS MY FAMILY -- INCLUDING A 5 YEAR OLD AND A THREE YEAR OLD IN CHILD SEATS IN THE REAR -- HAS WAITED FOR A FIX TO THE AIRBAG ISSUE, WHICH MAKES IT APPARENTLY DANGEROUS TO HAVE SOMEONE (WIFE OR HUSBAND) IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE ARE MOREOVER CONCERNED THAT ANY EXPLOSIVE DEBRIS WOULD OF COURSE INJURE A CHILD IN HIS CHILD SEAT IN THE BACK, WHICH IS NOT REALLY SHIELDED BY THE SEPARATE SEATS UP FRONT. AT WHAT POINT WILL THIS IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION BE REMEDIED? WE NEED TO HAVE FULL USE OF A SAFE CAR FOR OUR SMALL FAMILY. WE CANNOT FOREVER BE EXPECTED TO RENT CARS FOR TRIPS AND MORE. THE LATEST RECALL REMINDER WE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL -- REGARDING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE DUE TO THE WINDOW SWITCH -- DID NOT EVEN NOTE THE TAKATA RECALL OR WARNING TO NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT!
