“Takata recall went back to local chevy Gmc dealer again for the second time in almost 3 years since I received my recall letter from GM. They looked up recall and again told me that it has been recalled but they haven't agreed on whose going to fix the problem. I am tired of waiting and driving a truck that in my opinion is not safe to drive with this safety related issue. I want this fixed because 3 years is long enough to figure out whose paying and get the job done. If it dosen't get resolved soon I will have to take legal action against GM. …”
