DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS STICKING AND MAKE ERRATIC MOVEMENT GOING UP AND APPEARS TO NOT BE TRACKING CORRECTLY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN OWNED BY SAME FAMILY SINCE NEW IN 2004 AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTICEABLE FOR SOME TIME NOW. PASSENGER SIDE IS SLOW IN COMING UP I FOUND GM RECALL #07273 CAME UP ONLINE UNDER VISIBILITY RECALL SERVICE BULLETIN 08V162000 DATED 04/10/08 AND WONDERED IF THIS WAS A CAUSE.

CONTACTED COMPLAINANT AND NO DEATH OCCURRED IN SV. CORRECTED NUM. DEATHS TO "0". HUSBAND [XXX] ALSO FILE VOQ IN 2016.

THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ON OUR CALL FOR THE SRS AND AIRBAGS BUT WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, SO THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS OUR ONLY CAR SO WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING IT WITH THESE POTENTIAL DANGERS TO OURSELVES AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL. GM HAS TOLD ME FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, THAT THE PARTS TO DO THIS RECALL ARE "NOT AVAILABLE." THE LAST EMAILS I HAVE HAD WITH GM CORPORATE, THEY TOLD ME "THE PARTS AND THE REPAIR HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED YET." ON A TWO YEAR RECALL. YET THEY DO CONTINUE TO SEND ME CARDS IN THE MAIL TELLING ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TO BE REPAIRED. I THINK A TWO YEAR TIME FRAME IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, SPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE REPORTED 8.8 MILLION RECALLS ALREADY DONE.

NEW TO ME PURCHASE. FIRST TIME I FILLED THE FUEL TANK I GET A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL I'M A DISABLED VETERAN RESIDING IN GEORGIA AND I'M HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING A GM DEALER TO REPAIR MY TWO OPEN RECALLS ON MY 2004 PONTIAC VIBE. I'M AFRAID THAT I COULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL ON 2/20/2015 MY SON MY SON WAS DRIVING AND DAUGHTER WERE TRAVELING IN A 2004 PONTIAC VIBE NORTH ON LA 1026 AND WAS TURNING LEFT INTO THE DOLLAR GENERAL WHEN A PICKUP THAT WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON LA 1026 AND T-BONED THE PONTIAC VIBE CAUSING IT TO GO CLOCKWISE AND INTO THE DITCH THE PICKUP WENT COUNTER -CLOCKWISE FLIPPING UPSIDE DOWN RESTING ON TOP OF THE CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT METAL CAME OUT OF THE AIRBAG AND STUCK IN MY DAUGHTER'S RIGHT HIP. IT WAS RAINING AT TIME OF THE WRECK. I NEVER GOT ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL UNTIL THIS SUMMER SO I NEVER KNEW THAT IT HAD BEEN RECALLED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY FIRST CALL TO PONTIAC 1-800-762-2737 WAS ON JULY 14, 2016 AFTER I TOOK MY CAR TO RACEWAY CHEVROLET FOR THE TAKATA RECALL. WHEN THEY FINISHED, THE AIR BAG COVER WAS UP ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM THE DASH BOARD, I GOT THE CLERK TO COME SEE. SHE SAID IT SHOULD NOT BE LIKE THAT AND GOT THE MECHANIC. HE STARTED PUSHING DOWN ON THE AIR BAG COVER TRYING TO MAKE IT GO DOWN, I TOLD HIM THAT PUSHING DOWN ON THE AIRBAG LIKE THAT WAS NOT SAFE AND IT MIGHT EXPLODE OUT. IT DIDN'T GO DOWN, HE PULLED OUT THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND WENT IN FROM THE BOTTOM AND TRIED, IT WAS STILL UP. HE SAID HE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IN THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, AFTER 30MINUTES I WAS GIVEN MY KEYS, THE AIRBAG COVER WAS STILL UP A LITTLE I STARTED THE CAR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I TOLD CLERK. THEY DID NOTHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO ME A PONTIAC REPRESENTATIVE CALLED ME ON AUGUST 19, 2016 RACEWAY CHEVROLET FOR A THREE WAY CALL WITH MR. LINDEN, RACEWAY CHEVROLET MANAGER, MR. LINDEN TOLD THE PONTIAC REPRESENTATIVE THAT HE WOULD GIVE ME A FREE 30 MINUTE COURTESY CHECK ON MONDAY AUGUST 22, 2016. ON MONDAY AUGUST 22, 2016, I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO RACEWAY CHEVROLET, IN HARTSVILLE SC MR. LINDON CAME AND ASKED FOR MY KEYS AND SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO GET THE HAND HELD CAR READER AND IT WON'T BE LONG. HE RETURNED IN 10 MINUTES AND WE WENT TO HIS OFFICE AND STARTED TELLING ME ABOUT USED CAR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME AFTER THE RECALL PART WAS REPLACED. HE SAID THAT IT WOULD COST 15,000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR AND 199.00 TO RUN A FULL CHECK. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. HE TOLD ME THAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR AND SEE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON, THE AIRBAG COVER UP AND BEING TOLD THE AIRBAGS WONT DEPLOY IS UNSAFE AND UNFAIR AFTER A RECALL.

​ HI MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I HEAR THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME AIRBAG RECALLS SINCE 2014 AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS TO LATE OR NOT AND I AM NOT SURE IF WE CAN EVEN GET ANY MONEY AND IF WE CAN I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH WE CAN GET AND IF WE CAN I REALLY WISH MY HUSBAND AND I COULD GET 80 MILLIONS DOLLARS.
