My 2007 pontiac vibe was recalled in aug 2019 to replace a defective takata airbag. Eleven months later, parts are still not available! Would you people at the federal safety agency please do your job and force gm and toyota to get my car fixed? I'm afraid to drive myself and my children in this car!!

Recall 19v627 was issued on 8/28/19. It has been 6 1/2 months and there is still no remedy available. I contacted pontiac customer service and they have no information as to when the remedy will be available. This unacceptable and needs to be remedied asap!

Gm recall #n140491 the federal safety agency #15v285. 5-13-2015 takata front passenger airbag. Gm recall center's recall status for my VIN says remedy not yet available. My chevy dealer has the parts, but trying to get gm to authorize it. Why, on a 5yr old recall. To discourage consumer compliance and save gm $$.
General motors will not provide a repair to the recall on my car. I contacted them dozens and dozens of times. This has been going on 4 years! They will also not provide me with alternate transportation or an offered buyback.
On august 28, 2019, a takata airbag recall was announced for my vibe (gm recall #n192273760, the federal safety agency recall #19v627). I received a letter announcing this recall, but since then I have heard nothing. It's now been almost five months, and I'm having trouble understanding why I'm still unable to have my car repaired. I need to drive this vehicle regularly, and I'm very concerned about my safety.

We have tried for months to get the replacement parts and no availability at dixie buick in fort myers, fl. We called gm at 800‑762‑2737 and no resp9nse there. Case # is 9-5659085364. It is unsafe to drive the vehicle. We need help.
I have been trying to have the airbags replaced as per recall for at least a year but my dealer is unable to obtain the parts. Recalls are useless if the parts are unavailable. Plus I keep getting letters informing me that I haven't completed the repair which is more than annoying!

I have received my third recall notice for a faulty passenger side airbag. The first time it was replaced with another faulty bag. The second time it was replaced with another faulty bag. So now I have been notified for the third time that they don't have anything available to replace it with. This is very frustrating and a bit scary to know that I am driving around with a defective airbag that is not safe. I hope this issue will be rectified soon before people are hurt.

Takata recall on 5-6-19 my passenger side air bag recall was done at luther chevrolet. On the way home I noticed the right front corner of the air bag cover appeared to be sticking up a bit. I returned to luther. It was pretty late, they had my car the whole day. (I dropped it off the day before) I told them I would reschedule an appointment at a later date. On monday night 6-10 I again left my car at luther so they could "fix it" tuesday night I went to pick up my car to find that now the right front corner of the air bag cover was flush, but now the left front corner was sticking up! Eventually, I spoke with chris shugg, the service dept. Manager. He told me that the replacement air bag was "too tall" and wouldn't allow the cover to fit flush as it had originally. (at this point he had unknowingly admitted it could fit flush) he then told me he would have to order another air bag, and I would have to bring the car in again, and this would fix the problem. On monday night (6-19-19) I dropped the car off again. I picked up my car tuesday and the left front corner of the air bag cover was still sticking up. So I told the available service writer to have chris call me again. Chris did call me, he then told me that the dash board, or the air bag cover must have "distorted or warped" due to age and it is "just a cosmetic issue", there would be nothing more luther could do for me. I did not agree with his opinion, after all, the cover was flush before the recall was done. He then suggested that I contact g.m. Customer service. I called gm customer service on 7-2-19 I was given a reference number of [xxx]. She told me a senior adviser would be calling me regarding my situation. I spoke with lisa on 7-11-19 who echoed chris' assessment that this is purely a cosmetic issue. Attached is a current pic.
