Takata recall. I was notified by letter in march of 2016 that my saab was part of the takata airbag recall and that I would be notified when and where to take my car for air bag replacement. I was also notified in that letter that parts were not currently available and I would be notified when they were available and what service center I would need to take the cart to for repairs. Sometime in april 2017, I was notified that dorito bros saab, in walnut creek, california would be doing the air bag replacement and I would likely be contacted within the next month about scheduling the repairs. I did not hear back and I tried to contact dorito bros. Saab and it appears they are no longer in business. I tried calling the "toll-free vehicle safety hotline, (1.888.327.4236 or 1.800.424.9153) and have got nothing but a busy signal. What should I do about getting the airbag replaced in my 2006 saab 93? The car is our main source of transportation.

I contacted the local dealership in elk grove, gmc and on 3 different occasions they state they do not service saab vehicles. I told them that gmc is responsible for it and they stated there is only one location that we could take it to in central california by fresno if I want to get it fixed. Which it will be an undue hardship. I also told them that our car was spilling gas due to an original faulty unit. They stated there was a recall for that however, it somehow doesn't show on my VIN. Several times we ran out of gas and our kids got gasoline on their clothes. We called 4 dealerships and all of them state to go somewhere else. When I open the hood I see gmc brand all over the car. I believe gmc is discriminating against people with disabilities and not accommodating me. I told them I cannot drive 300 miles, I have to have someone take it because I had a stroke. They told me that they are gmc but they are not. If they are using that as an excuse then this recall committee should investigate into this and sanction them. At this point, because of safety recall is not available to get it done, I cannot safely drive with my kids. 2 of my kids are special needs kids. At this point, I would like gmc to reimburse me the full current value of the vehicle for their failure to do the needed recall repairs. If gmc made a faulty business choice when they took over the saab's the customers should not suffer. Gmc constantly makes me feel that even though70% of the vehicle is gmc I don't have the same rights as gmc customers. Currently, the blue book value is $6500. I'm stopping paying registration in hopes to get this vehicle either traded in for another one by gmc or refunded. Since a recall is not supposed to be an undue hardship upon, gmc is devising and scheming and changing policies and procedures to discourage customers to getting service recalls to saabs.

Manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner because manufacturer no longer does business in the USA.
Takata recall this recall has been ongoing for quite some time and I have yet to receive a letter to fix my airbag. Should I wait until my family and/or I am in an accident and die before we get this fixed?
Takata recall it has been a year since the recall was announced without a resolution. This is too long for a potentially fatal defect to continue to be left unresolved.
Takata recall has not been fixed. My car is a 2006. I can not trade or sale my car in the condition of the recall on this airbag. How do I get my money back?
Takata recall
Takata recall-- I have heard nothing as to when this will be performed
Takata recall: was notified feb 2016 but there is no way to get this fixed! There is no way to remedy this problem. I am still waiting to hear what to do about getting the airbags replaced and in the meantime, despite paying for insurance, costs, etc, have limited my use of the car. No word from anyone; no one is willing to fix it.
