Takata recall- when I went to my local chevrolet dealership as stated on my recall notice I was informed that the part is still unavailable! What does it take for the manufacturer (takata) of these defective components that are killing people to make these replacement parts available? I have a vehicle that I'm making payments on that I can't drive because of the potential of getting hurt or killed by the components that are installed to protect you! When is the auto manufacturer going to make this manufacturer accountable? When is our government going to make this manufacturer accountable? We've known about this defect since 2015-2016 and still there are thousands or millions of vehicles that are ticking time bombs that no one is taking seriously until after the fact you know when someone gets killed. We need help that is coming way to slow because of the money involved in correcting this deadly problem. Why don't we make this manufacturer provide everyone that has a vehicle under this recall provide us with a rental vehicle so we don't have to play russian roulette with our lives! Why don't we make the manufacturer give us fair market value for our vehicles so we can purchase a safer vehicle? I'm sick and tiered of being told there's no replacement part available yet! We need help, and help right now not later as it already has been!!!!

Takata airbags. I was notified by mail june2016 of defective airbags. I've called my gmc dealer (mckinney buick gmc - mckinney, tx) several times & they keep telling me parts are not available. This has been going on for over 1 1/2 years now. Airbags have not deployed, but am not comfortable continuing driving a vehicle that the federal safety agency deems unsafe.

Takata recall: in july 2016 I received a letter from gmc ref. Gm recall 49152 which stated that I would be notified when parts are available to remedy your vehicle. I never received anything and in the meantime the airbag light came on. In the summer of this year I called the local dealership and they set up an appointment to replace the airbag because of the recall. I had to cancel that appointment because I could not make it to the appointment. I later called the dealership to setup another appointment and this time was told that gmc was not going to fix/replace the airbag. I already spent over $1200 to replace the front brake components because of extensive rust which damaged the front brake system to the extent the wheels would no longer rotate without great effort. This truck was originally owned by someone in pa, then on the eastern shore of maryland thru may 2016. There is a lot of rust on the undercarriage of this vehicle - from I assume, salt and water.
