TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC VIBE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DEALER (CHAMPION CHEVROLET OF AVON, 183 S COUNTY RD, 525 E, AVON, IN 46123 (317) 350-1023) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL: I BELIEVE ITS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY ALWAYS SAY THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DEALER. IT IS ABOUT GENERAL MOTORS. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR FOR A YEAR BUT CONTINUE TO PAY LICENSE AND INSURANCE. IF THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS, THEY SHOULD BUY THE CARS BACK AT THE AVERAGE NADA/BLUE BOOK VALUE. THEN, THEY CAN STORE THE CARS UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MILLIONS OF CARS RECALLED; BUT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEM FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I BELIEVE THEY COULD GET THEM MANUFACTURED BY SOMEONE ELSE OR A VARIETY OF COMPANIES. THEY ARE PROTECTING THEIR EARNINGS, STOCK PRICE, AND SHAREHOLDERS. THEY SHOULD BE FINED FOR EVERY DAY THAT THEY DRAG THIS OUT. AND, THAT FINE BE ON A PER CAR BASIS, WITH THE OWNER OF THE CAR REAPING THE BENEFITS OF THAT FINE. THAT WOULD GET THEM TO MOVE FASTER, AND FIND MANUFACTURERS THAT WILL GET THE PARTS NEEDED

TAKATA RECALL: WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DANGEROUS, AND THAT "IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT WE TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION AFTER RECEIVING OUR AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH, 2017, CALLING EVERY DEALER THAT WE COULD FIND, TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. NOW WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT TAKATA IS GOING BANKRUPT, LEAVING US IN THE LURCH. I CONTINUE TO CALL DEALERS AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THERE IS "NO REMEDY" YET. SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE A FLEET OF CARS, WE DEPEND ON USING THIS CAR TO DRIVE. WE FEEL THAT GM AND TAKATA ARE PUTTING OUR FAMILY AT RISK FOR A HORRIBLE OUTCOME. OF COURSE, WE TRY NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BUT SOMETIMES WE HAVE NO CHOICE. PLEASE PLEASE HELP US BY MAKING THIS REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. IT IS INCREDIBLY UNCARING FOR GM TO PUT ASIDE THIS ISSUE AND SIMPLY LET PEOPLE DRIVE IN THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP GET MY CAR FIXED!!!
