Takata recall 1. my car is affected by the takata recall, but is not listed in the most recent update on the NHTSA site. 2. more importantly, it has been 5 months since I received a letter stating the issue and telling me not to have anyone sit in the passenger seat. This is difficult to do with a four seat car and a family of 4. I have a potential bomb in my car that may shoot shrapnel out and I can not get it replaced or removed. This is completely unacceptable. Why can this not be disabled or removed (per an email from Saab)? not having anyone sit in the front seat and risking anyone else in the rear seats and driver seat is not a practical solution.

Subaru of America has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in my 2005 Saab 9-2X. I was sent a notice stating that, " in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death." It's now December and I haven't received a notice to have the part repaired. Will GM/Saab replace the air bag " if not, can they pay the remaining balance on the vehicle and take it"

I am original owner of this vehicle. I received airbag recall statement in July 2015 and have heard nothing further. I contacted Saab customer assistance by email and was told no parts are available and they don't know when they will be. I am concerned that I have been driving an unsafe car until July and then unable to use front passenger seat due to recall statement regarding it being unsafe. I do not think this length of time or lack of commitment towards repair is acceptable.

I received notice of recall# 15V-323 pertaining to potential serious injury or death if the front passenger airbag were to deploy. The recall indicates that the front passenger seat should not be occupied until the repair has been made. It has been over two months and I've not received notice yet that repair parts are available. I'm still waiting for any response or remedy to this situation.

After receiving NHTSA recall no. 15V-323, an appointment was made at an authorize service center. After 4 hours of waiting, the dealer indicated no replacement parts are available in the entire country. When asked for a loaner car, the request was denied and my car was returned. The recall notice indicates the front passenger seat should not be occupied ~ this is extremely disruptive to my family. I am not satisfied with GM/sitton response to this recall notice and attempt to pass liability and inconvenience to my family.
