Takata recall: I was contacted about 15 months ago initially...then heard nothing. Now I've received another postcard stating that I must take care of this...and am being told by GM that they have no fix for this. How can GM be producing new cars with new airbags, and not have a fix for this recall going on 2 years? GM needs to fix this asap!

Takata recall. It has been almost 1.5 years since the recall and GM hasn't fixed the issue. When will the NHTSA force GM to fix the problem. GM's response is that they feel the truck is safe to drive. That isn't good enough.
