TAKATA RECALL. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS RECALL? MY 2008 CADILLAC IS IN LIMBO AS GM DRAGS ITS FEET WITH PETITIONS TO AVOID THE WHOLE ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE, I HAVE IMPORTED THIS VEHICLE INTO CANADA AND CAN NOT REGISTER OR LEGALLY DRIVE IT UNTIL ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. DOES ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAVE ANY POWER TO MAKE AN AUTO MANUFACTURER COMPLY WITH A RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER?THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH NO RESOLUTION AS YET. FRUSTRATING AND VERY DISAPPOINTING.
