TAKATA RECALL - I FIRST RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM MOTORS IN MARCH 2017 ADVISING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS BEING RECALLED. I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE BUT STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING. I WENT TO A GM DEALER AUTO REPAIR CENTER BACK IN JULY & THEY ADVISED THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED DURING THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED RECALL LETTER YEAR OR 2 AGO. FIX WAS TO NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR. WHAT GOOD IS THAT? CAN'T USE IT FOR WHAT WE BOUGHT IT FOR. STILL NO FIX NOTIFICATION. HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR CARS REPAIRED. REQUESTED REPLACEMENT FOR THE AIRBAG. WAS DENIED. SHOULD COME UP WITH A FIX OR COMPENSATE PEOPLE SO THEY CAN GET SOMETHING THEY CAN USE. HOW DO WE EVEN GET RID OF IT NOW?

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAGS RECALLED 1/10/17. NO FIX AVAILABLE STILL AS OF 11/21/17.

GM IS NOT PROVIDING A REMEDY IN A TIMELY MANNER. WE HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE NOT TO ALLOW FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS, BUT THAT CONSTRAINT IS NOT PRACTICAL.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE MARCH 2017 FOR AIRBAG TO BE FIXED. STILL NO PARTS OR RENTAL CAR AVAILABLE AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOT TO HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. OTHER BRANDS OFFER RENTAL CARS, WHY NOT PONTIAC?

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2017 CONCERNING THE FAULTY TAKATA AIR BAGS. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE AVAILABILITY OF REPAIRS. IT IS 8 MONTHS AND COUNTING THAT A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIR BAG HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.
