Takata recall-safety recall notice as of januarty 2017, parts are still not available (after at least 12 deaths) october 3017 when I received a notice of chapter 11 filings by takata that stated to call my local gm dealership for free replacement. All calls made to tk holdings, airbagrecall and the ntsb just keep saying to call each other so I'm going in circles with recordings.

Takata recall: my car has been recalled since january 2017 and the pontiac dealership still has no parts and/or remedy in order to fix the recall. It has been 9 months and they still are unable to address the recall. Obviously I don't want anyone to be injured while in my vehicle should the airbags deploy! I put today's date in the box at the bottom of this page (even though I didn't have an accident yet)

Takata airbags. Still has not been fixed. No air bags available.
Takata recall. The recall notice appeared in march 2017. I was told I would be contacted when replacement parts were available. My follow up calls to my dealer indicated that parts had not become available. It is not feasible for me to continue avoiding the use of the passenger seat. I put my passengers at risk. The parts are still not available as of 10-24-17. I would like the manufacturer of the defective airbags to pay for a different manufacturer to replace my defective airbags before they go out of business entirely. We have so far not had an incident, but I would like to replace the defective airbags before we do.

Takata recall - it's been over a year since this problem came to light. I find it unacceptable that gm has yet to have a fix for it. I have called two gm dealerships about this. I have already received takata chapter 11 information. Is gm waiting until they see how that shakes out? I would think gm would want to take care of this immediately to mitigate future law suits against them.

I received the recall notice in march of 2017 and the recall has yet to be remedied
Takata recall - recall issued on my car january 10, 2017. I received written notice march 2017. It is now october 12, 2017 and there is still "remedy not available". I have made repeated calls to the dealer and to gm to get an estimate on when the repairs can be made and they have no information for me. I believe 9 months is much to long to have to wait for a recall repair. I have to borrow other people's cars when I need to transport another person in the car. I want to trade in my car for a new one, but I'm certain this recall is going to hurt the value. Having to wait this long and to still not have an answer as to when the repair will be made is wrong.
