We received a safety notice of the possibility of driver side air bag deployment due to defective inflator in july of 2000. I contacted buick in december 2000 wondering why we had not heard anything about recall and was told 3 to 6 months more before repair would be available. They did replace the defective part with a new old part that had not suffered the degradation of time. This temporary replacement was/is to hold me over until the proper part becomes available. My complaint is the original letter stated the repair would be available in several months. I waited 6 months to be told 3 to 6 more months. What if I sell or trade this vehicle in does the manufacturer track this vehicle down through registration information or does the vehicle go unrepaired at a cost savings to the manufacturer? A response to my concerns would be appreciated. Thank you.
