“Takata recall I received a letter from GM informing me of the takata airbag recall for my car in february this year (2016). It has been more than 8 months since the recall was issued but my car's airbag systems has not yet been repaired. There has been no further communication from GM about the recall. Please help with resolving this matter. Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #10918649, filed 2016-10“I was notified several months ago of recall report receipt date: feb 03, 2016 NHTSA campaign number: 16v063000 component(s): air bags . I was advised no parts were available at that time. It is now june 22 and still no parts are available and I am driving a car with a lethal safety defect. When will GM have the parts necessary for repair.?I have called the Saab customer assistance center but all agents are busy and I cant reach anyone despite waiting for long periods of time.”
NHTSA complaint #10875926, filed 2016-06“Takata recall. 2/3/17 will mark 1 yr since notification of recall. Gm site says working quickly to obtain replacement parts. Use of adverb quickly is inappropriate. I need to know risk factor as my wife and I have a loaded pistol pointed at our heads every time we drive this vehicle. Should we disable the srs system? What is the geographical distribution of deaths and injuries from exploding inflators? Are they really concentrated in hhas or is this just another of tanaka's lies? Is fatality/injury distribution information available? If not, why not? …”
