SATURN Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL". MY MECHANIC FOUND A FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG WHILE DIAGNOSING A HORN PROBLEM. MY VIN IS NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST OR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL LIST. ALSO THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING SECURITY SYSTEM ISSUES AND CAUSING MY HORN RELAY TO STAY PERMANENTLY IN THE ON POSITION WHICH IS DRAINING MY BATTERY TO NOTHING. HOW DO I GET MY VIN ADDED TO THESE LISTS SO THAT THESE PARTS CAN BE REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL?

MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION, HAD TO DRILL OUT IGNITION CYLINDER AND REPLACE HOUSING ALSO. HAD TO GET A MECHANIC TO KEY THE CYLINDER AND NOW THE LIGHTS, A/C, AND RADIO DO NOT WORK AFTER ENGINE STARTS UNTIL IT RUNS FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES. THEN EVERYTHING WORKS, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, THE ENGINE RUNS GOOD, UNTIL IT SITS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. STILL DOING THE SAME. HAD IT PARKED FOR ABOT TWO MONTHS AND JUST START IT AND RUN THE ENGINE TO PRESEVE THE BATTERY. USE OTHER VEHICLE INSTEAD.
