I RECEIVED NOTICE IN JUNE OR JULY BY MAIL THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIRBAG AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL SERVICED. I TOOK MY PERFECTLY GOOD VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL AND WAS SENT HOME WITH THE LID OVER THE ARIBAG NOT SECURE AND PARTIALLY OPEN. I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME TAKATA AIRBAG AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER. I CALLED GMC TO COMPLAIN THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AS THE AIRBAG IS NOT SECURE IN THE VEHICLE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. BECAUSE THE AIRBAG IS NOT SECURE I BELIEVE THAT IF I HIT A POTHOLE OR A BUMP THE AIRBAG WILL EXPLODE AND CAUSE "BLINDNESS" OR DEATH AS THIS WAS STATED ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EACH TIME THE AIRBAG GETS WORSE AND THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS I TRANSPORT MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND ELDERLY MOTHER. THE RECALLED AIRBAG IS NOT SECURE AND EVERY TIME THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG IT GETS WORSE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THE AIRBAG IS MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM TERRIFIED AND HAVE MISSED SEVERAL DAYS OF WORK DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.
