Takata air bag recall. In july I was notified of the recall. To this date there is no repair available. Basically I can not longer use the vehicle in the way it was designed and there is no solution. Apparently gm is accepting responsibility but I have no recourse but to suffer the loss of value of my vehicle. How can the government allow this indefinite solution.

Sometimes when accelerating, it's slow to move, then a sudden jerk happens if I put pressure on the gas pedal. This happens when driving at lower speeds, I can be entering my garage or accelerating after a stop light or sign. Can be scary when it jerks during acceleration. The steering column is beginning to rattle and shake at about 45 miles sometime at lower speeds as well,a very rough ride on smooth pavement,feels like it's falling apart. The third issue has to do with the airbag indicator light staying on in both drivers and passenger sides while driving. When I went to dealer for an appointment it didn't happen but getting a diagnostic tomorrow for that. Bought the car used last year with about 37,000 miles,always serviced at the dealer where I purchased it. I now have a little over 53,000 miles on it at this time,just local diving.

My daughter was rear ended while she was sitting at a stop by a large vehicle going 40+ MPH and was subsequently pushed into the back of another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy on contact to or by any other vehicle. Due to there not being airbag deployment she suffered neck trauma and tendon damage to her shoulder.

Over the last few years, on 3 different occasions, the same thing happened. I was entering the main road from our subdivision. I stopped at the stop sign. I was not in a hurry. When it was clear from both left and right, I began to enter the main road. Then much to my surprise, there was a car coming from the right. Where did that car come from? It wasn't there when I looked. But presto, there it was. I concluded; it was concealed from my vision by the right air bag post. On all three occasions I came close to an accident. That post is about 8 inches wide and about 3 feet from my eyes. It's simple math, when an 8 inch post is projected out to the 50 yard distance where the cars were hidden from my view, that 8 inch post conceals 50 feet. That means that there are 50 feet hidden from my right view every time I enter a main road. The air bag may solve the air bag safety problem; but it makes the right post 8 inches wide; creating an equally dangerous situation.
