2008 SATURN ASTRA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2008 ASTRA THAT IS PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. DETAILS ARE AT THE END OF THIS MESSAGE. THERE CURRENTLY IS NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REMEDY, AND WHEN A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE. IT IS UNSATISFACTORY TO NOT HAVE INFORMATION ON WHAT IS BEING DONE TO DEVELOP A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WHEN ONE CAN EXPECT A REMEDY TO BE AVAILABLE. I AM NOT WILLING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED SO I NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THERE ARE STATISTICS ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE ABOUT RECALL COMPLETION RATES BY MANUFACTURER. ACCORDING TO THIS, GM HAS ONLY REPAIRED 0.2 % OF RECALLED VEHICLES, WHILE HONDA FOR EXAMPLE HAS COMPLETED OVER 48 % STATISTICS REGARDING RECALLS.

SEVERAL THINGS ARE HAPPENING, FIRST I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER STATING I WOULD BE CONTACTED CONCERNING AN AIR BAG RECALL, I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED SINCE THAT LETTER BACK IN FEBRUARY 2016.SECONDLY, TODAY MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TRIED STARTING IT AND IT DID START. THIRDLY, THE TRIM ON THE ROOF HAS COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED. I WOULD APPRECIATE INFORMATION ON WHEN I CAN GET MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR AS WELL AS INFORMATION ON ANY OTHER RECALLS THAT MAY BE CONNECTED TO THE TWO OTHER CONCERNS I'VE MENTIONED. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
