THE SUBJECT VEHICLE BECAME SUBJECT TO AIR BAG RECALL (N140491) ON 7/24/14. IT THEN BECAME SUBJECT TO A SECOND RECALL (N140877) ON 2/11/15. IT HAS BEEN OVER ONE YEAR SINCE THE FIRST RECALL, WHICH I FIND UNACCEPTABLE. FURTHER, I WILL BE REPLACING THE SUBJECT VEHICLE AND I WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME SELLING IT WITH TWO OPEN RECALLS. I HAVE TRIED CALLING OUR LOCAL GM DEALER (WOODBRIDGE, VA) AND WHILE POLITE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP ME. SO, I DECIDED TO CALL THE GM HELP PHONE NUMBER ON AUGUST 24, 2015 AND ASKED IF GM WOULD BE WILLING TO BUY BACK THE SUBJECT VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY I WILL HAVE TO SELL TO A PRIVATE PARTY A VEHICLE WITH TWO OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALLS. SO, FAR GM HAS NOT BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF MY REQUEST AND I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BY THIS FOOT-DRAGGING BY GM FOR OUR PONTIAC VIBE. IN TALKING TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER, HE SAID THAT THEY HAD CORRECTED THE SAME RECALL BUT ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT GM MAY BE DRAGGING IT HEALS ON A MAKE (PONTIAC) AND MODEL (VIBE) THAT IS NO LONGER BEING MADE. IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HAVE GM CORRECT THIS RECALL IMMEDIATELY OR BUY BACK MY VEHICLE AT A MORE THAN FAIR PRICE (FOR THEIR FOOT DRAGGING), I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
