TAKATA RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V063) - MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT OLDER CARS IN HUMID ENVIRONMENTS WILL BE GIVEN PRIORITY ON REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS, ESPECIALLY THOSE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WHILE I HAVE A 2008 VEHICLE POSSESSING A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND LIVING IN THE HUMID ENVIRONMENT OF SOUTH LOUISIANA, I'M STILL WAITING A YEAR LATER FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG. I JUST CALLED THE GM RECALL LINE (1-800-972-8876) AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT IF I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG, THE DEALER HAS PARTS TO FIX THE AIR BAG, BUT AT MY COST. THEREFORE, THERE ARE AIR BAGS AVAILABLE, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR USE ON THE RECALL, I MUST DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS FOR THE RECALL ARE MADE AVAILABLE. IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE TO THINK THAT PARTS ARE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE, BUT NOT BEING USED WHILE LIVES ARE AT STAKE JUST FOR SAKE OF HAVING PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX ISSUES NOT RELATED TO RECALL. WHEN ASKED FOR A TIME FRAME OF WHEN THE "RECALL AIR BAGS" WOULD BE AVAILABLE, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO ESTIMATE, BUT THAT IT TAKES TIME FOR THESE THINGS TO GET DONE. I POINTED OUT THAT I HAD WAITED ONE YEAR. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE FEBRUARY 2016 AND STILL NO WORD ABOUT THIS RECALL. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT IS MY ONLY METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. GM OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT CARE THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING TICKING TIME BOMBS. THIS IS UNETHICAL. NOBODY WHO OWNS A CAR AND OR PAYING FOR A CAR SHOULD ENDURE THIS. *TR
