TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE NOW RECEIVED THREE ANNUAL NOTICES OF THE RECALL FOR THE KILLER AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. TO DATE, I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF REPAIR PARTS BEING MADE AVAILABLE. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE DELAY IN THE REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. THREE YEARS IS FAR TOO LONG TO STILL NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I AM DEMADING THAT GM BE FORCED TO EITHER REPAIR THE VEHICLE NOW OR BUY IT BACK AT A FAIR MARKET VALUE IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS WITHIN THE NEXT 20 CALENDAR DAYS BEGINNING 09/06/2018. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE "OR DIE" WAITING YEARS TO GET AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL COMPLETED. IT IS TIME FOR ACTION NOW. NO MORE EXCUSES.

TAKATA RECALL - I'M THE OWNER OF A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 LTZ. TWO YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THAT THE TAKATA AIR BAGS WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL DUE TO EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS, BUT SAID THAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE SUBURBAN AS USUAL (? - DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?) AND THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DISCONNECT THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT KILL YOU IF THEY EXPLODED! DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? (NOT TO ME!) I AM A GRANDFATHER WITH TWO PRECIOUS GRANDCHILDREN. WE GO CAMPING WITH THEM AND MY GRANDSON WHO IS 14 AND SIX FEET TALL OFTEN SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT EVEN THOUGH WE'VE TOLD HIM TO SIT IN ONLY THE REAR SEATS ('I'M NOT A CHILD ANYMORE GRANDPA'). GM HAS PLENTY OF TIME TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS. WE LIVE IN INDIANA WE'RE THE SPRING SUMMER HUMIDITY IS OVER 80% ON A REGULAR DAILY BASIS. IF HUMIDITY IS THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE AIRBAGS POTENTIAL EXPLOSIVE MALFUNCTION, WE ARE DRIVING A CAR WITH BOMBS SURROUNDING US!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE, NOR DOES MY WIFE NOR DO MY GRANDKIDS!!! WHEN CAN WE GET THESE DANGEROUS AIRBAGS REPLACED? WE PLAN TO KEEP THIS SUBURBAN FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS BECAUSE IT'S TRADE-IN VALUE IS NIL WITH AN AIRBAG RECALL WARNING. WHEN WILL I GET MINE REPLACED!

TAKATA RECALL. GM ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR IN JULY 2016. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE RECALL AND CLAIM TO STILL BE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. THAT'S AN UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS DELAY. IF GM CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, THEY SHOULD GIVE AFFECTED DRIVERS THE OPTION OF USING A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY DO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL: I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS OR RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. JUST RECENTLY ON 11/29/17 I VISITED CLASSIC CHEVORLET IN SUGARLAND TEXAS AND INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING THE AIRBAG SERVICED. THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE HAS CONSTANTLY STAYED ON FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. WHEN I GET IN TO MY VEHICLE THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHETHER IT IS IN MOTION OR PARKED. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR TO FIND OUT WHAT TAKATA WILL DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY EVERY TIME WE GET INTO MY CAR. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND THE REMEDY FOR THIS SOON BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT OR LOSE THEIR LIVES.

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL OF MY VEHICLE WAS ANNOUNCED IN MAY 2016. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED IN JULY 2016. IN THE INTERVENING YEAR AND A HALF, GM HAS BEEN DRAGGING ITS FEET WHILE TAKATA HAS BECOME INSOLVENT AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF BANKRUPTCY REORGANIZATION AND I AM DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF THE CAR IS UNSAFE, GM NEEDS TO MOVE QUICKLY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM SO THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE NOT PUT AT RISK (AND LEFT TO TRY TO COLLECT FROM AN INSOLVENT MANUFACTURER). PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO GET THIS RECALL RESOLVED QUICKLY!

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (HERITAGE CHEVROLET, 12420 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, CHESTER, VA 23831, (804) 748-6461) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE SO THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE REMEDY AND REPAIR PARTS MAY BE SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER. INITIALLY THE VEHICLE WAS ADDED TO THE RECALL MAY 27, 2016 AND THE CONTACT JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED THE INTERIM NOTICE WITH NO ETA AS TO WHEN THE SECOND NOTICE MAY BE SENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER INDICATING THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE WHICH WAS UNACCEPTABLE TO THE CONTACT.
