“Gm recall #n140491 NHTSA #15v285. 5-13-2015 takata front passenger airbag. Gm recall center's recall status for my VIN says remedy not yet available. My chevy dealer has the parts, but trying to get GM to authorize it. Why, on a 5yr old recall. To discourage consumer compliance and save GM $$.”

I have a four passenger vehicle that I am only allowed to use 3 seats safely. The fix for the air bag inflator has taken too long and other compensation needs to be provided so that I can get full utilization from my vehicle. I have not had an incident but I can no longer continue not using my front passenger seat.”

On monday night 6-10 I again left my car at luther so they could fix it tuesday night I went to pick up my car to find that now the right front corner of the air bag cover was flush, but now the left front corner was sticking up! …”
