In march we received a recall telling us of the passenger side air bag issue and potential fatal injury that could result. I called pontiac today and they have no idea when this problem will be resolved. In the meantime we are unable to allow passengers, or each either, in the passenger front seat. This is very difficult as my wife uses this car for business. The last recall we got on the 2007 vibe took over 18 months to resolve. (we sold that car and bought this one).0 it's like the car isn't made anymore so there's no rush. Please help.
This vehicle has had multiple recalls over the years. I have taken it to the dealer for all the recalls and trey have not done anything about this. They always tell me that they will order the parts and contact me to schedule am appointment. I need some help with this, as I feel they have no intent on addressing these issues!

Takata recall. I received a letter about this important recall march of 2017 we are now in august of 2017 and have not heard back from anyone. I did call pontiac and they referred me to this link so I could file a complaint . I only hope I'm not in an accident. I still use my front seat even if I'm taking a chance that someone could get hurt. The car in this condition could not be sold in this condition
Takata recall remedy is still unavailable. Last year I received a letter from gm advising owners that no one should sit in the front passenger seat. In other words, I am unable to use the car for the full purpose for which it was intended. Ridiculous
Takata recall - safety recall taking too long in march 2017, I received a gm recall notice for my pontiac vibe. I called gm and logged a ticket (case#8-3053081027). Each time I call they state that the parts are not available or the engineering fix is not ready. This time I called they want to know the mileage of the vehicle. I asked why and did not receive a valid answer from gm customer support. My toyota corolla had a takata airbag replaced two years ago. Why is it taking gm so long to repair a safety problem when other manufactures have completed they safety repairs ? Customer satisfaction should be a top priority for gm. I don't believe "parts are not available" or an american engineer can't figure out how to replace an air bag. I am a father of an american middle class family and need to have this car repaired.

Takata recall, I received a recall notice from general motors a couple months after the initial recall was issued by the company. Soon thereafter I contacted their customer service rep. Who told me a local dealership would conduct a temporary fix by disconnecting the front passenger air bag, so it would not go off in the event of a crash. The dealership told me that they could not perform this because it was a liability issue for them. Therefore, gm offered me gravely inaccurate information about the "fix" that could be performed. Gm did not offer a rental car/loan car for an "undisclosed reason told to them by pontiac human resources." my car may not be completely fixed until 2023, which I find to be extremely ridiculous given the severity of the issue.

Takata recall. I called carl black chevrolet, in east orlando, on july 17, 2017, to make an appointment to have my passenger side airbag replaced in response to a recall. They acknowledged the issue and I made an appointment for 10:00 on july 24. I asked them if they needed the VIN. The response was no, they would check the VIN when I came in. I asked if the airbags were available. The response was yes, that they were available. During the week, I stopped by the dealership to verify that the parts were available and to determine how long the repair would be. The person I spoke to scanned the vehicle in, verified the existence of parts, but warned me that this recall would take several hours. When I brought the car in on june 24, the fellow immediately told me that the part was not available locally and he would have to "special order" it and that the order would take at least a week. I told him of my previous contacts with the dealership and asked him to verify. He disappeared for a few minutes, came back, and said the parts were not available. I asked why the other people had told me that the parts were available. He said that he could not speak for them, but the parts were not available and would need to be "special ordered", which would take "at least a week and possibly considerably more". I asked if someone would call me when the parts came in and they said maybe, but I should call them. It seemed pretty clear that these people did not want to repair my car. They said that they were just enforcing gm's policy. If so, it appears that gm is not acting in good faith with this recall.

Safty recall for air bag inflators get moisture in them. Creates excessive internal pressure and the airbag may explode. This could cause serious injury or death. There is nothing being done about this.I received the notice march 2017 and have heard nothing back. Called twice with no results.
