2008 SATURN ASTRA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL WITH A DATE OF MARCH 2016. IT IS STILL LISTED AS INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE ON THE GM RECALL WEBSITE AS OF 10/17/2016. THIS HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS, WHICH IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IN WHICH TO MAKE A SAFETY REPAIR. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG, BUT I WANT IT REPAIRED BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN ASTRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V063000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR MONTHS AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE PARTS TO THE DEALER. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS PREMATURE DETERIORATION ON THE INTERNAL WIRING ASSOCIATED WITH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE WIRES FRACTURED AND PREVENTED THE REAR WINDOWS FROM STAYING UP OR DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE THAT THE REAR WINDOWS REMAINED UP. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE WIRES AND INDICATED THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL SATURN LETTER OF THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG REPLACEMENT IS DATED MARCH 2016. VISITED THE AUTHORIZED SATURN REPAIR CENTER, PORTER CHEVROLET NEWARK DELAWARE FOR THE SECOND TIME OCTOBER 2ND 2016 TO FIND OUT IF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG CAN NOW BE DONE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR, JOHN SMASHEY ADVISED THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS AND HAS NO INFORMATION IDENTIFYING WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. AFTER 7 MONTHS WE ARE NO CLOSER TO RESOLVING THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN FEBRUARY; CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY; STILL NO AIRBAG REPLACEMENT.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER WITH RECALL GM ID 28810 IN MARCH 2016 AND AS OF TODAY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I TRIED CALLING MULTIPLE TIMES THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE BUT AUTOMATED SYSTEM WOULD ALWAYS RESPOND AS YOUR SATURN ASTRA VEHICLE HAS NO OPEN RECALLS. I VISITED TWICE A GM CHEVY DEALER AND THE PEOPLE THERE TOLD ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I INSIST MY CAR TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY SINCE MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN USING IT DAILY AND THIS IS THREATENING OUR SAFETY.

I NOTICED THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS ISSUED FEBRUARY 3RD AND NO FIX HAS BEEN ISSUED YET (ITS BEEN 8 MONTHS). I LIVE IN A HUMID CLIMATE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRIVER AIRBAG'S CONDITION SINCE HUMID CONDITIONS INCREASE THE RISK OF FAILURE. HONDA IS QUICK WITH THE RECALL, BUT SINCE I HAVE A SATURN I BELIEVE GM IS SIMPLY PUTTING IT OFF.
