Takata recall - have owned this car since 2009 and was not aware of the problem until the beginning of this year. There is currently no fix to the problem and I have been told not to ride in the passenger seat. I have been riding in the passenger seat since 2009 and that response to the problem is totally inadequate. It's almost a year since the original notification and there is still no fix. Seems to me "don't ride in the passenger seat" is a euphemism for them trying to avoid lawsuits. I have not experienced an incident and hopefully will not in the future but I am hoping that the NHTSA might spur someone to come up with a solution to the problem.

Recall manufacturer failure to comply

- Norcross, GA, USA

Takata recall I was notified over a year ago by GM that my vehicle is affected by the takata airbag recall. I was told that I would soon have replacement parts for my vehicle. Several months ago, I received a letter from GM saying that there were no parts available. I was told the solution was "not to use the passenger seat". there was no estimated time when parts would be available. This is not an acceptable solution. I need to use the passenger seat of my vehicle.

Takata recall. I am contacting you today to make a complaint about the fact that I received the air bag recall notice in March 2017 and still have not been able to have the repair made because the parts are still not available. I have contacted Pontiac twice now to no avail.

- Zimmerman, MN, USA

Takata recall: I received a safety recall notice in March stating that there was a safety recall with no parts currently available for my vehicle. It has been eight months and there is still no remedy. I think this is an unreasonable amount of time to address this safety issue. In particular, I have been unable to use my front passenger seat this entire time and this greatly impedes my use of this vehicle.

Takata recall apparently my recall states "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available." Given the severity of this recall, I find it troubling that no remedy is available nearly a year after I was first notified. I have contacted my local dealer and they state that they cannot act until the remedy is identified. This my family's only car and rely on it daily. There has been no incident yet, but I do not feel safe driving a car with such a severe defect. I'm not sure what I can do, but this is not safe and the length to identify a remedy is irresponsible.

Takata recall I received notice many months ago about this recall along with several others. As instructed by General Motors, I took my car to the dealer for repair and replacement and was informed that there is still no fix available for the dangerous airbag. I was warned in the notice not to Transport anyone in the front seat of my car until the airbag is replaced. This is a grave inconvenience for me and my family!!! I inquired about GM taking the car back and was told that would not be possible. I have been waiting now for 2 years. This week I got another notice informing me that the manufacture of the airbag has filed chapter 11 bankruptcy!!! still no remedy available!!! I need GM to repurchase this car from me. Why should I be stuck with it and not getting it's full use and have to worry each day that something deadly may happen. Please help me to appeal to GM to take this car back!!! thank you so much for your help.
