Takata recall: received recall 150826 (15826) (the federal safety agency: 16v340) in july 2016. It is now end of december and no resolution has been advised. Warned not to occupy front passenger seat which is unreasonable since the car is used for family trips and will often have passenger(s). So far no evidence of malfunction has occurred but the potential is frightening. Response time is unsatisfactory and needs to be resolved immediately!

"takata recall" - I received a recall notice six months ago related to my vibe. The recall specifically states until the repair is performed the front passenger search should not be occupied. As of today, the parts are still not available and the only thing the people at pontiac can say is "gm does not recommend that anyone sit in the front passenger seat." I believe I've been patient enough and that gm should have to provide a rental car or fix the vehicle.
Takata recall. For over six months my family -- including a 5 year old and a three year old in child seats in the rear -- has waited for a fix to the airbag issue, which makes it apparently dangerous to have someone (wife or husband) in the passenger seat. We are moreover concerned that any explosive debris would of course injure a child in his child seat in the back, which is not really shielded by the separate seats up front. At what point will this impossible situation be remedied? We need to have full use of a safe car for our small family. We cannot forever be expected to rent cars for trips and more. The latest recall reminder we received in the mail -- regarding the potential for a fire due to the window switch -- did not even note the takata recall or warning to not use the passenger seat!

Takata recall. This recall was identified on 5/23/2016. Six months have passed, which seems excessive for a countermeasure to not have been implemented yet. Having this recall continuing to be outstanding makes selling this vehicle with a clear conscience very problematic.
