“Takata recall; received this recall notice july 2015 and it has been over a year and no fix in sight. I would really like to know what america is coming to. I am starting to believe we are becoming a third world country with GM getting away this type of safety recall and now there should be another recall on the dash now cracking in several places and looking online there are many other's cracking in the same place and falling apart. Would really like to get some satisfaction from a company that we the taxpayers were forced to bailout......”
