Takata recall, followup and concern. Today is I want to greet every one a happy 4 of july. Celebrating that we want people of united states are safe and no one get injured due company and manufacturer branch of services neglecting to do the order of the federal safety agency recall and some owners complained about the vehicle problem that treaths to the safetiness and lives of others. Since that day till now the car was still at putnam gm burlingame my other concern by not doing my complain because they said its not a part of recall but it is belong to the same experience effect and complain that must gives attention its fatal. If ever this vehicle goes to other if I donated or trade it and their never checked or diagnose it because their just focus on specific order some defect caused by the ignition switch and sudden stop of engine while running could cause problem and safety of others. Fixing this car helps a lot not only me safety of others and hundreds of thousands lawsuits by ignoring it. We honestly reporting the unusual defect exhibits by the xarwere not abusing to fix a damage cause by us before we did some action that they think we only want to fix ignition problem, I am telling the truth again for the safety of others the car has problem its stop while on the run, it turn around when I exiting 280 from skyline I thrown out off the road cause I can controlled it another think came across my mind why airbag not deployed that time and I'm just lucky that time some car are alert actually their one call cops that time. I hope this message will received and by their authority before I removed and trade it if they wont do action, for me I do my part to report for the safe of our future. Thank you.

I have a 2000 oldsmob ile alero which was involved in an accident a little over 2 years ago. It was primarily a front end crash into another vehicle turning in front of me at about 35 MPH. There was no airbag deployment,which LED me to believe there may be a sensor or inflater problem. Both airbags on the other car deployed. I wonder if this happened on similar vehicles? The vehicle was repaired at a body shop, but nothing was done to determine if the restraint system was flawed.

On 10/07 I was involved in a head on collision while operating a 2000 olds alero which I purchased new. The air bags never deployed.
