TAKATA RECALL -- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SAAB CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. I SPOKE WITH LISA WHO TOLD ME "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE RECALL NOTICE. THERE REALLY ISN'T A PROBLEM." I THEN CONTACTED GM CORPORATE AND SPOKE WITH RANETTE IN THE GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE. SHE REFUSED TO TALK WITH ME AND KEPT REPEATING "I DO APOLOGIZE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER." I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH HER SUPERVISOR AND SHE THREATENED TO "DISCONNECT THE CALL". I TOLD HER NOT TO DISCONNECT THE CALL AND ASKED FOR HER SUPERVISOR'S NAME. THEN SHE PUT ME ON HOLD FOR ONE HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES. NOTHING IS BEING DONE. NOTHING IS BEING HANDLED AND I AM BEING TOLD THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE. VALIDATED NEWS REPORTS SHOW THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED BY THIS DEFECT. I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT AND NEED AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION OR NEED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED.
