I received a recall notice for defective passenger airbags in july. It said I am not to use the front passenger seat. I need to use my front passenger seat. They say the repair is not available yet. Seven weeks have passed. I tried calling pontiac/gm and was put on hold and then got a busy signal. Their chat line is down for "maintenance." they seem unwilling to fix a safety hazard. If someone is injured as a result, I'm holding them and you responsible.

I received gm recall notice 14491 in july 2015 stating" the passenger airbag may have an unsafe propellant which could cause the inflator to rupture with metal fragments potentially causing a passenger serious injury or death. Until the repair is performed, the front passenger seat should not be occupied. Parts to repair your vehicle are not currently available." the dealer had no additional information. Contacting the gm recall line, my case number 71-1508506555 was assigned to a senior advisor named rueben (866‑790‑5600 x 58210-88) rueben gave me no additional information and did not call me back as promised. 8-28 I called the dealer and they have 15 inflators in stock. I made an appointment to have the recall performed. However, at the dealership, my VIN brought up the disposition order: "incomplete. Remedy not yet available front passenger air bag inflator" the service writer and service manager can do nothing and suggested I call gm again. Call to gm recall line speaking with annette. She had no additional information and did not know when the recall would be resolved. She called a district manager named pat--only information she would provide--to ask fro more details "pat" did not answer the phone and all she would do is ask rueben to follow up. We have delayed a trip because we need to use the car with both front and back seats occupied. We need to crack through this impervious barrier gm has constructed to find out 1: why the 2005 vibe inflators the dealership has in stock cannot be used 2; and when the parts will be available gm will provide no information. Please help cut through this bureaucratic barrier gm is hiding behind.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 pontiac vibe.

I received a letter from from gm (gm recall number 14491a) in regards to the front passenger airbag....I called gm and was told that the part to repair the airbag problem would not be available until maybe the 2nd half of 2016 and not to use the front passenger seat...is this for real? In other words I have a car that I now cannot use for at least a year. I spoke with a john who said to contact a gm dealer to have the front passenger airbag disconnected....the gm dealer refuses to do it...its hard to believe that they expect people to wait for more than a year to get a recall repaired and not to use the front passenger seat for that length of time....

I am filing a complaint about the front passenger airbag inflator recall (the federal safety agency recall # 15v285; gm recall # n140491), for which I received a letter yesterday. I am very disturbed to be told that, until the necessary replacement part is available, and with only the assurance that gm (and presumably toyota) is "working as quickly as possible to correct this condition," I should not operate the car with the front passenger seat occupied. I find it disturbing and odd that the proscription only applies to the front passenger seat, even though the warning includes the statement that malfunction of the front passenger airbag could result in "metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants [including, presumably, me] potentially resulting in serious injury or death," I am also troubled that no advice or accommodation is made for those for whom not using the front passenger seat is not an option, nor is there provision by gm/toyota/takata to provide a replacement car until such time as the replacement part is available, or at least some sort of remuneration for what it will cost those affected to rent a car when they must use a front passenger seat. And there's the small matter that the metal fragments could strike more than just the front passenger. Therefore, I would like to know what the federal safety agency is doing to ensure that proper compensation is provided for this.
I took my car to mike morgan buick gmc of shreveport louisiana for the recall repair of the front passenger airbag inflator module. Five days later my airbag warning light comes on. I take my car back to mike morgan buick gmc. They inform me the warning light stems from the steering wheel airbag and they only "repaired" or "tampered" with the passenger side air bag. I will have to pay $922 to have it repaired. I don't know if them tampering with my airbags caused the light to come on or not. However, I do know I had no warning lights illuminated in my dashboard until mike morgan buick gmc of shreveport louisiana tampered with my car. They told me the airbag light being on means my driver side airbag is disabled.

Airbag light came on while driving. Looked up recalls, found a recall for airbag but incomplete/no remedy yet. Called to see if this would be covered due to recall and told no- there was no warning light involved in recall of airbag!!! Really? Airbag light comes on for no reason, there is a recall on year/model for airbag but my situation is not related??? And who puts out a recall with no remedy??
I was driving on the expressway at approximately 65 MPH when my airbag deployed for no apparent reason. I did not hit anything. Nothing hit me. I was able to pull the car over and no one was hurt other than the impact to my chest and hands.
