Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 66, newest first, as owners wrote them.
"takata recall", I have had my airbags replaced per takata request however the airbag indicator is still indicating a problem; is it safe or not, the mechanics have no answer for me?
Takata recall-had the care serviced for the air bag recall. Time has passed; now the air bag light stays on all the time,
This vehicle was in an accident in december of 2009. It was totaled. I broke my sternum because the airbag did not deploy properly. This was before the recall. It was on black ice and I hit the meridian strip twice and spun out, did not hit any other vehicles. It is too late now to do anything, but I wanted to stop getting recall notices. Thank you
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2003 pontiac vibe. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 15v043000 (air bags) and 15v285000 (air bags) however the parts were not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repairs. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the parts would become available so the contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be serviced. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the contacts vehicle would receive the recall repairs. The contact was not experiencing a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

Took my car for three recalls at herb chambers in warwick they kept me there for hours in did none of them then told me they would call the next day and I haven't heard from them it's been over a week.
I have complied with the recalls on the airbag for this vehicle. After we got the last recall on this vehicle completed, about 3 weeks later the warning light for the airbag came on and does not go out. The owner manual tells me this is a danger and the airbag could deploy at any time. After researching I found multiply vehicles with the same issue. I took it back to them and they told me it was nothing they did. Now they want $1000 to fix the issue. Sound bogeys to me> I do not have any photos but I do have my paper work

Takata recall
I received a recall for 13030. After they 'fixed' it my air bag light turned on. I received a recall for 14877. I took it to the same dealership and the light is still on. They are now fighting with me saying that they did not do this and they will not fix it as it has nothing to do with the recall. After arguing with them, they did run a free dx text which would of costed me $90.00. As of today my vehicle its now coding b1181 and that they are now trying to charge me $1,000.00 to replace the airbag and coil. However I did not have any issue with my airbag light before they did the recall

My pontiac vibe 2003 passenger air bag was replace in a recall do to the air bag can cut you up with metal pieces when deployed. With same manufacture making both airbag in my car, why is the driver side airbag did not get replace. Here a case from 2014 date complaint filed: 11/18/2014 date of incident: 09/25/2013 component(s): air bags , steering , unknown or other the federal safety agency id number: 10659129 consumer location: north canton, oh crash:yes fire:no number of injuries:1 number of deaths:0 manufacturer: general motors llc vehicle identification no. (VIN): 5y2sl62873z... Summary: my husband was cut off on an exit ramp on 62east. When he crashed he hit a tree head on causing the airbags to deploy and cut open his head. He still has pain and issues within his accident area and I think this is related to the air bag recalls and feel that if there are continuous checks and issues that we should be involved in any lawsuit against the company for the negligence upon the issues with the airbag. Do I have to wait until I get hurt or kill when my driver side airbag get deploy.

I have been dealing with gm for well over a year in reguards to multiple recalls on my cars air bag system. During this time I have repeatedly been given the run around by them and they're dealer, o'neal buick in warminster, pa, with reguards to what needs to be done, availability of parts, and overall lack of concern that a vital safety system does not operate properly. To add insult to the situation, after the intial round of recalls when they worked on part of the electrical system, my air bag light was triggered. I had a mechanic diagnose the problem and the system now has a short in it. The dealer will be happy to repair the problem for a fee.
