Takata recall - I was notified in March 2016 or the airbag issue with my 2006 Saab 9-3 aero. It has been five months and there still is no solution. What is the status of this recall and how long is it going to take? I don't like driving a ticking time bomb.

I was informed of the air bag recall in February. To date there has been no action to remedy -- replace the faulty part. This is an everyday car which carries two pre-schoolers. I would like to know when the air bags will be replaced and what other options I have given the serious injury or death claims from this recall. It's been three months. Thank you

Takata recall -- I received a recall notice for my car and immediately contacted the Saab customer assistance center. I spoke with lisa who told me "don't worry about the recall notice. There really isn't a problem." I then contacted GM corporate and spoke with ranette in the GM executive office. She refused to talk with me and kept repeating "I do apologize. I do not have any additional information on this matter." I asked to speak with her supervisor and she threatened to "disconnect the call". I told her not to disconnect the call and asked for her supervisor's name. Then she put me on hold for one hour and forty minutes. Nothing is being done. Nothing is being handled and I am being told this is not an issue. Validated news reports show that people are being killed by this defect. I do not take responsibility for this defect and need an alternative means of transportation or need to have the airbag disabled.

"takata recall" - I'm very upset and angered that the GM safety recall 28810/Saab safety recall 15041informs me of the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants but provides no remedy! according to the recall letter that I received and verification from the GM dealership that sold me my vehicle, there are no parts available to order and GM won't provide for a loaner or rental car! therefore I'm expected to rent a car until the parts are available at my own expense or risk injury or death to me, my wife, my children or any other occupants for a potentially 3-12 month period of time. How is this acceptable or allowed by my government safety administration? I'm more familiar than some others as my wife's 2010 Honda CRV was recalled just last week for the same air bag concerns, but in Honda's case, they have provided a rental car at no cost to my wife even though they don't expect replacement parts to be available until later this summer 2016! a foreign manufacturer stepping up but an american institution, General Motors, turns their cheek and exhibits unconscible blindness to our predicament. Please get involved or at least explain to me how I'm supposed to accept what GM is communicating to me is a customer and a U.S. citizen! thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
