2006 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIR BAGS ABOUT A YEAR AGO SHE CALLEDC AND WAS TOLD THE AIRBAGS WERE BACKORDERED AND THEY WOULD GET BACK TO HER THEY HAVEN'T. SHE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS SO I CALLED AND GOT THE RUN AROUND AND FINALLY TRANSFERRED TO WATSON CHEVROLET FOR REPAIRS. APRIL 14, 2016 I SPOKE TO WATSON AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART. I CALLED TODAY MAY 4, 2016 AND THE PART IS STILL ON BACKORDER. MEANWHILE THIS VEHICLE IS BEING USED AND NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HOW LONG WILL WE HAVE TO WAIT TO GET THIS FIXED?

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON & OFF WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. MY MOTHER JUST GOT THIS CAR & IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WITH IT BEING ACCURATE.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS RECALL IS NOW APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YEARS FROM THE TIME IT WAS ISSUED. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO (A FULL YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED) I FINALLY RECIEVED A NOTICE FROM PONTIAC INFORMING OF THIS RECALL. IN BOLD-UNDERLINE TEXT, IT STATED "UNTIL THE REPARI IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED". I HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING AND FOLLOWING THIS DIRECTIVE SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THIS LETTER, HOWEVER IT IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT INCONVIENCE TO MY FAMILY OF FOUR. I DO NOT KNOW HOW PONTIAC/GM EXPECTS US TO UTILIZE THE CAR I HAVE PURCHASED FROM THEM IF I CANNOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I CALLED TODAY AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT PONTIAC/GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO INFORMATION THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE AND NO TIMELINES AVAILABLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LARGE RECALL AND IT AFFECTS A LOT OF VEHICLES, BUT FRANKLY THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES NEED TO PUT ALL THE RESOURCES (TIME, MONEY, MAN-POWER) THEY CAN AT PRODUCING THE NEEDED PARTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. ANY ASSISTANCE THAT CAN BE PROVIDED TO EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
