I received a written notice that my vehicle was ar risk for air bag failure with onstructions to contact my dealer to schedule to schedule repairs. I did as instructed, and was advised I would be contacted for a scheduled visit. I received no follow up. I have contacted the dealership multiple times over the past two years reqesting repairs. I am told by managers there that "no fix is available". I note reports that over 1 million vehicles have been repaired. It seems that the GM local dealer is either unimformed, or deliberately misleading.

I received a safety recall notice in July 2016 for the takata airbags. As of today the information still says that a repair is not yet available. Given the age of my 2008 Suburban it is dangerous and ridiculous that a repair is still not available. GM must be accountable for recalls on all potentially affected vehicles and repairs made in a timely manner.
