2006 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS CAR COUPLE YEARS AGO. I AM AT ABOUT 150000 MILES . MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF THIS WHOLE YEAR. COUPLE WEEKS AGO I GOT 2 OPINIONS TO.GET IT CHEVKED.OUT. THE FIRST SPOT GAVE ME A ESTIMATE OF ABOUT 2500 & SECOND PLACE ABOUT THE SAME. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A GLITXH IN THE 2006 PONTIAC VIBE TRANSMISSUON & COMPUTER. I DRIVE ABOUT AN HOUR TO WORK EVERYDAY. I DO NOT FEEL ANY DIFFERENCE WHEN I DRIVE BUT I DEFINITELY DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN OFF BUT IT IS CURRENTLY ON AGAIN. I HAVE CHECKED GAS CAP & IT SECURE. I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME. THE CHECK LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE COMING ON AT 150000. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT MY.MOTHER AND I HAVE & WE DEFINITELY CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY OR FIX. TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND I HAVE NOT GOT INTO AN ACCIDEN BUT I DO NOT WANT MY AIRBAGS TO NOT WORK IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN..THIS IS NOT SAFE. I NEED THIS FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL, RE: PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM WONDERING WHEN THE CARS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL WILL BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. IT IS QUITE ANNOYING TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG MAY CAUSE ISSUES, EVEN WITHOUT A PERSON IN THAT SEAT. I RECEIVED A NOTICE DATED JULY 2015 AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER NOTICE. I LOOKED ONLINE, AND NO REMEDY IS YET AVAILABLE.

ON JUNE 16, 2015, TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXPANDED RECALL ON AIRBAGS IN A WIDE RANGE OF THEIR VEHICLES. MY 2006 PONTIAC VIBE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 10, 2015 AND NO RESOLUTION IS IN SITE. THIS IS A POSSIBLY LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION IN THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING TO HOLD TOYOTA AND GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS INEXCUSABLE DELAY? I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT YET, NOR DO I WANT TO. ARE WE WAITING FOR MORE LIVES TO BE IRREPARABLY HARMED FOR SOME ACTION TO TAKE PLACE? I AM USING THIS COMPLAINT FORM AS THE ONLY AVENUE I AM AWARE OF TO FILE A GRIEVANCE IN THIS MATTER.
