Takata recall, followup and concern. Today is I want to greet every one a happy 4 of July. Celebrating that we want people of United States are safe and no one get injured due company and manufacturer branch of services neglecting to do the order of NHTSA recall and some owners complained about the vehicle problem that treaths to the safetiness and lives of others. Since that day till now the car was still at putnam GM burlingame my other concern by not doing my complain because they said its not a part of recall but it is belong to the same experience effect and complain that must gives attention its fatal. If ever this vehicle goes to other if I donated or trade it and their never checked or diagnose it because their just Focus on specific order some defect caused by the ignition switch and sudden stop of engine while running could cause problem and safety of others. Fixing this car helps a lot not only me safety of others and hundreds of thousands lawsuits by ignoring it. We honestly reporting the unusual defect exhibits by the xarwere not abusing to fix a damage cause by us before we did some action that they think we only want to fix ignition problem, I am telling the truth again for the safety of others the car has problem its stop while on the run, it turn around when I exiting 280 from skyline I thrown out off the road cause I can controlled it another think came across my mind why airbag not deployed that time and I'm just lucky that time some car are alert actually their one call cops that time. I hope this message will received and by their authority before I removed and trade it if they wont do action, for me I do my part to report for the safe of our future. Thank you.

Takata recall, since the car has a ignition problem and it is at the putnam GM burlingame till now they don't do any of recall even diagnose the car and they want me to remove it now or I have to pay to fix it different from the manufacture customer service says last Tuesday when I tow that car to their place after I tell to them the situation they said they taking care of it, now they change. I feel like because I have a older car and no value they don't think about the safety of the car and the damage could be made to others. I can't. drive that car not safe.I can't work without car please help. I'm not asking to fix the paint or wheel. Just check what they have to fix stopping of engine and hard to start cause by ignition and the airbag must work properly.

The contact owns a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. The contact noticed that the cover of the frontal passenger air bag was lifted on one of the corners approximately a half of an inch. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The cover of the passenger side frontal air bag progressively started to lift even more. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the frontal passenger side air bag assembly was damaged and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 58,100.

I have a 2000 oldsmob ile Alero which was involved in an accident a little over 2 years ago. It was primarily a front end crash into another vehicle turning in front of me at about 35 mph. There was no airbag deployment, which led me to believe there may be a sensor or inflater problem. Both airbags on the other car deployed. I wonder if this happened on similar vehicles? the vehicle was repaired at a body shop, but nothing was done to determine if the restraint system was flawed.

While driving into a gas station in my 2000 Oldsmobile alera at about 2 to 6 miles an hour my air bags deployed. I hit nothing nor did I fall into a hole in the road. Since there was no reason for the bags to deploy I wrote Oldsmobile chairman of the board G robert wagoner, jr requesting assistance. His staff have stone walled my efforts to get assistance. I was sent to sullivan Oldsmobile for inspection. The inspection was at best useless. They did not put the vehicle on a lift to check the undercarriage yet they tell me the bags deployed because of this. They said they took digital pictures, but were unable to show them to me. I stopped on my way home at a local garage had them put it on a lift and check the sensors which were not damaged. Oldsmobile was still not interested so I took the car to another Oldsmobile dealer who also put it on a lift and told me they had no idea why the bags deployed. Oldsmobile in detroit continues to go back to sullivan's inspection ignoring the two inspections that showed no reason. Oldsmobile has denied me any compensation.
