We received a letter from Saab approximately 1 year ago and the dealership (a registered Saab service center) says that it is not an active recall, even though when we type in the VIN number on the NHTSA website, it comes back as having this particular recall for the airbags. We have been calling the dealership every month and they refuse to work with us and insist that this recall is not real.

Takata recall. I have been notified of the recall about 9 months ago. There have been multiple deaths related to the airbag deployment. I feel unsafe driving my car and would like a remedy now. If you can not fix the airbag now I would like to have an alternative option to driving the ticking timebomb.

Takata recall: To date, there is still no remedy available. Are they waiting for more people to die? the recall date of this open recall was in February 2016, which is nearly a year ago. This failure to remedy this "safety risk"/deadly problem nearly nine months definitely qualifies as a not being remedied in a timely manner. Please advise.

There was a recall for the airbags. But they're still hasn't been a fix. I do not feel comfortable driving my car when the airbags are defective, because I was in a terrible car accident last November (in a different vehicle) and I don't feel safe because of that

Takata recall I'm complaining that I have an older car, 2006, and haven't heard from GM regarding replacement of the airbag. I want to sell the car but do not want to pass the danger on to another person. Make GM move quickly to replace my air bag. I am concerned the airbag will blow up every time I drive the car.

Takata recall. Received notice in March 2016 about recall. August 2016 and still no parts available! bought this car because of it's safety record for my 20-year old daughter at college. Scared every time she gets in it because of this issue. How can this happen where the parts are not available for so long?? GM should be held responsible. Someone needs to get this issue on the fast track to be fixed asap!
