TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE ATTACHED LETTER IN MAY, 2016. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, GM TELLS ME IT'S OK TO DRIVE. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. ATTACHED IS AN E-MAIL STRING OF MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH GM. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR, IT'S IN STORAGE; AND I CAN'T SELL IT WITHOUT FULL DISCLOSURE, WHICH MAKES IT WORTHLESS. AND IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS WITH NO INDICATION THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.
