Gm recall 17036 - passenger airbag sensor defect. My sensor failed on 6/8/2018. The local dealer confirmed the failure and ordered parts under the recall on 6/15/2018. As of today, 7/18/2018, the part is still not available and no eta is provided. Gm refuses to reimburse me if I have the vehicle repaired or provide them with a genuine gm part for them to provide the repair. This is a recall that is not being addressed by gm and I am left with an unsafe car and no eta on repair.
I have been trying to complete my recall for 2 months now, and am told by all dealers that parts are not available from gm to make the recalled repairs. I consider this to be a situation in which the recall is not actually effective, and am making this notation to ensure that appropriate parties are held liable in the even that any damages result from gm's inability to execute this recall as required.
Please see attachments, bottom line, despite recall (17036-01: safety recall ' passenger presence system ' 2006-2010 pontiac solstice & 2007-2010 saturn sky) on passenger airbag sensing module, gm is refusing to honor the recall and its conditions.

Takata recall, passenger seat light remains on all the time the car is turn on.
Faulty passenger side seat sensor causing airbags to disarm.
Takata recall-I called my local dealership to have the recall repaired in may 2017. I was told the parts were in and was allowed to make an appointment. I took my vehicle in as scheduled, waited in the waiting room about 10-15 minutes to be told they "made a mistake" and the parts weren't available yet. I gave them my phone number for them to call when the parts were in and have not heard from them yet. Since then I have received 2 notices regarding the recall. I have called again (6 months later) and now they are saying the car was repaired. I was also told the recall was closed "manually." the recall should not have been closed because repairs were not made to the vehicle. Again they are going to call me back. This has been a complete waste of my time because I have to take a day off work to get the issue resolved. The dealership in question is wakefield buick gmc in spartanburg, sc
Takata recall--I have gotten 2 notices--no known fix according to gm. Ignition recall--took in for repair--didn't repair properly--I had to spend my own money replacing ignition switch because they said I didn't bring back earlier.

Received multiple recall notice. Contacted the 800 no. They gave me local gm dealer who told me they don't know anything about this recall!? The recall reference no is 17036. What should I do now?
This is an open recall: "if an active fault exists in the pps system and a crash occurs, the sdm will not deploy the front passenger airbag. If an adult is occupying the passenger seat, the suppression of the front passenger airbag could increase the risk of injury to the passenger." this is still not addressed by gm! Why are they not being forced to correct this situation? Manufacturer recall number: n172080280
I have received the second letter in regards to the 17036 recall on the passenger airbag light not working. According to the website and the dealer a fix isn't available, but according to the letter and customer service at saturn a temporary fix is. I have been getting the run around with saturn they call the dealership and set me up with an appointment and when I went there the dealer had no available information for this recall. Called saturn again today and got the same story she called the dealer and said they would call me right back after they order the part. The dealer did call me right back but said the part wasn't available yet for them to order and to wait until I get the final notice. I am tired of saturn giving me the wrong information and being sent on a wild goose chase. My light isn't working at this time so I have no idea what impact that has on the airbag whether it would deploy or not if I needed it. I hope we never have to find this out the hard way.

My 2008 saturn sky with 38982 miles has the passenger presence sensor fails, p/n 19124219. The airbag on the passenger side becomes disabled , the parts cost $400 and the dealer is charging me $200 for reprograming. It looks like to be a common problem on these cars
This is my third pontiac solstice or saturn sky that has had the passenger air bag service light activate in the 50k miles range. Very seldom does anyone sit in the passenger seat, so wear does not seem the be the problem.
