2008 SATURN SKY Complaints

GM RECALL 17036 - PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DEFECT. MY SENSOR FAILED ON 6/8/2018. THE LOCAL DEALER CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AND ORDERED PARTS UNDER THE RECALL ON 6/15/2018. AS OF TODAY, 7/18/2018, THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ETA IS PROVIDED. GM REFUSES TO REIMBURSE ME IF I HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED OR PROVIDE THEM WITH A GENUINE GM PART FOR THEM TO PROVIDE THE REPAIR. THIS IS A RECALL THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GM AND I AM LEFT WITH AN UNSAFE CAR AND NO ETA ON REPAIR.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COMPLETE MY RECALL FOR 2 MONTHS NOW, AND AM TOLD BY ALL DEALERS THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM GM TO MAKE THE RECALLED REPAIRS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SITUATION IN WHICH THE RECALL IS NOT ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE, AND AM MAKING THIS NOTATION TO ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATE PARTIES ARE HELD LIABLE IN THE EVEN THAT ANY DAMAGES RESULT FROM GM'S INABILITY TO EXECUTE THIS RECALL AS REQUIRED.

TAKATA RECALL-I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED IN MAY 2017. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN AND WAS ALLOWED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN AS SCHEDULED, WAITED IN THE WAITING ROOM ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES TO BE TOLD THEY "MADE A MISTAKE" AND THE PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE YET. I GAVE THEM MY PHONE NUMBER FOR THEM TO CALL WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN AND HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET. SINCE THEN I HAVE RECEIVED 2 NOTICES REGARDING THE RECALL. I HAVE CALLED AGAIN (6 MONTHS LATER) AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE RECALL WAS CLOSED "MANUALLY." THE RECALL SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CLOSED BECAUSE REPAIRS WERE NOT MADE TO THE VEHICLE. AGAIN THEY ARE GOING TO CALL ME BACK. THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME BECAUSE I HAVE TO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. THE DEALERSHIP IN QUESTION IS WAKEFIELD BUICK GMC IN SPARTANBURG, SC

TAKATA RECALL--I HAVE GOTTEN 2 NOTICES--NO KNOWN FIX ACCORDING TO GM. IGNITION RECALL--TOOK IN FOR REPAIR--DIDN'T REPAIR PROPERLY--I HAD TO SPEND MY OWN MONEY REPLACING IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE THEY SAID I DIDN'T BRING BACK EARLIER.
