My car was repaired at patrick Cadillac in schaumburg, but still the "airbag" light is on at the dashboard. The mechanic old me that the light is not part of the recall. Since the light is on, that means that there is a problem with the safety airbag. Another issue is with the ABS. Whenever I step on the breaks, the ABS shakes as if it's bouncing on the breaks, and the whole car shakes. Is there a problem with the ABS systems? I thought my breaks needed changing, and all four break pads were changed, but the problems persists.

Takata recall I received a notice in the mail recently from GM that said I needed to make a service appointment to get the passenger airbag inflator replaced. It said to go to my.GM.com/recalls and enter my VIN. I did that and it showed two recalls: One for the airbag and an older recall for the control arms. I called ourisman GMC in alexandria (www.chevroletofalexandria.com/) and spoke with von, who said he was a service manager. He said that I did not have any outstanding recalls. I told him I had gotten a card and that my.GM.com/recalls said I had a recall. He said that the fix had not been figured out and that's why I was not showing up in their database. This is nonsense - other people with the same car have had this fix done. He refused to look in my.GM.com/recalls and kept repeating that he could only use his system. I then called route 1 Buick GMC (www.route1buickgmc.com/) and spoke with a service person named diana. She gave me the same story but was at least more polite about it. This recall has been outstanding for 18 months and the suspension recall has been outstanding for five years. They have refused to help me. I could get into an accident tomorrow and be killed by my car's airbag. Neither person was interested in researching or attempting to figure out why there was a mismatch. This is nothing short of negligence. I got a recall notice in the mail and it is also reflected on safercar.gov.

Takata recall I am concerned about the time it is taking to repair this. I understand that the parts have to be made but we are going on almost a year since the original recall letter came to me. When I call GM service centers they tell me that parts haven't been made and have no idea when to expect them. I drive my children around in my car (although not in the passenger side of the car) I am concerned because the recall states small metal objects could come out causing severe or fatal injurys. The car cabin is small and am worried for their safety. Is there some option to turn my car in for trade value due to this? I just want ta safe care for my family. Thanks, rob

Takata recall - we were informed of the recall nearly a year ago but have not been able to replace the bag. We have not used our front set on a regular basis due to this recall and have been forced to rent cars when we need to seat 5 passengers. This expense is burdensome, and we need an immediate remedy to ensure the safety of our family and our pasengers.

Takata recall called authorized dealer to schedule recall repair and they said no remedy was available. GM needs to issue a fix for this. I am advised not to have anyone sit in the passenger seat due to injury concerns yet the manufacturer has no solution for the problem.

Takata recall: I received notice of the recall and safety warning in July (although the recall was issued in may) of 2015. Since then I have received no update and by direction of the recall notice and safety concerns, I have not been able to use the front passenger seat of my vehicle. For the past seven months this has been an extreme inconvenience and has greatly reduced the usability and value of my vehicle. I would like to be compensated for this with a temporary replacement vehicle until the recall repairs can be made.
